    Trying to Fix Finish on 1991 Corolla

    If you need something with more cut than KIT scratch out, the TW Premium rubbing/polishing compounds should do a good job. Meguire's "Ultimate compound" is also highly spoken of.

    Trying to Fix Finish on 1991 Corolla

    Originally Posted By: Lurch I applied Kit Scratch Out to it after washing it, then applied a coat of Turtle Wax, but the rain doesn't bead up on it when it rains. The finish feels kind of rough. The car has never been garaged that I know of. It's my neighbor's car. Any suggestions...

    Good results after offering LubroGuard MOS2 at dea

    Originally Posted By: demarpaint NAPA was about $4.35 IIRC, AAP wanted $6.99. I can only imagine the mark up on the stuff. I'm sure everyone on the value chain is making their money. However its a good product, and costs less than products that do alot less.

    Seafoam in the Crankcase - How Long?

    Seafoam is just aliphatic solvent, IPA, and some light mineral oil. B12-Chemtool is the one that contains ketone solvents.

    Windsheild polishing? To remove wiper scratches

    There are glass polishes of varying abrasiveness. Certainly the cerium oxide based polishes can remove enough glass to cause dishing. That makes polishing just one area of the glass a silly endevour. However, polishing the entire surface can make it nice and smooth. I've found "No streek"...

    Does anyone hand wash their cars anymore?

    EcoPower motor oil?

    Safety-Kleen is a big recycler of used motor oil and other fluids. It is much easier to make motor oil from old motor oil (which is almost entirely lubricant base stock) than from crude oil which is mostly not base stock. After the refining process is done, they put in an additive package and...

    what good spray waxes are stand alone waxes?

    Lucas slick mist, is the best spray wax in my experience. But for just slightly more effort you could apply TW Ice liquid, since it needs no buffing. Just wipe on with an applicator sponge, and then wipe off with a microfiber.

    Paint the bottom of the deck with used motor oil?

    No, its a bad idea. Use paint instead.

    Chrysler ATF+4

    The ATF+4's have to meet a chrysler specification with respect to the base oils and the additive package. The base oils can come from different suppliers, but the additive package is from lubrizol only. Chrysler ATF is much better and different than Dex/Merc which is why universal ATF's don't...

    ? on spray wax, commercial kind

    Assuming this is a some kind of "hot wax" its a cationic emulsion of light silicones/mineral oil. Harmless, probably not very durable, but otherwise harmless.

    ATF+4 application not listed on Maxlife jug

    Use the ATF+4 and don't worry about it. To be ATF+4 you need to use highly stable base oils and the Lubrizol additive pack. Anyone who wants to make this can sign up with Chrysler to do so. It's not worth gambling on multi thousand dollar transmission over saving $10 on transmission fluid.

    Tire Dressing

    Depends what you want. Either way, Eagle 1 tire swipes are essential. The solvent/oil based products will tend to be the highest shine. Water emulsion products can be all over the place. The more substantive products tend to be more glossy but can sling if not fully absorbed. Products intended...
