I need some advice! I left a bottle of liquid polish/wax in my wife's car. She didn't see and flopped the back row of seats down and loaded some heavy items. This causes the product to spill and leak out onto the carpet and leather/pleather seat surfaces. Any ideas the best way to start cleaning...

Anyone own or have any experience with a late 90's Trooper or Rodeo, 4WD, V6? Looking for a semi-beater class SUV to take hunting and pull a smaller cargo trailer. I know the auto tranny is a GM that has a less than stellar rep but that is most likely from no filter and fluid changes. The 4WD...

First member to message me with their address in the continental 48 states will receive a like new tin of Collinite Feelwax. No more paste wax for me and I'd like to pay it forward. I'll ship it to you for FREE! AFter paying $20+ I just can't let it set and would like to send it to someone who...

Who can lightly cover a 2x2 square on a vehicle? Heck, I'll do a panel and do a second. Right after applying to the second panel I'lll wipe the dry product off the first panel. WRONG! You let this stuff dry to a good haze, your arms will be pumped after getting it off. They aren't kidding about...

A friend of mine who is paying me to clean out and organize his shop gave me these. Guess I'll be running 10W30 in my cars for a year!

A friend of mine is paying me to clean out and organize the back rooms of his business. Told me to take,use or sell or give away any products that I find. So I started with this! Most of the ACDelco filters will go to a buddy of mine that collects Pontiacs and Buicks and uses GMC trucks to haul...

My 86 year old father just bought the last new vehicle he will ever buy. My dad is loaded but he is loaded by being frugal. I know he would shoot down the idea and cost of a professionally applied "ceramic" coating. Having that in mind, what are the recommend paint sealants right now. It's new...

Anyone tried the "new" Liquid Glass by MPT? Gone is the charcoal lighter can and new modern flip-top squeeze bottle is the new container. I have a bottle of the MPT Classic Polish and have used it twice and really like it. Have read this is the same product as Liquid Glass since MPT bought the...

Just came in. Looks like the bragging that Chevron did saying its conventional 15w-40 with "ISO-Syn" would equal or outperform the competition's "synthetic blend" offering (Delvac 1300?) held up. I got some Delo Synthetic 15w-40 at "clearance" price at WM and have it in the Scion now. Gonna take...

Check out that price for a 2 5 GALLON JUG!

Can anyone tell me why there is no company making pushrod 4's or V6's? I ask for these reasons: 1. GM's LS/Vortec series of V8's are competitive with OHC and DOHC V8's of competitors. 2. Pushrod engines make more torque lower in the rpm range where MOST American drivers drive their vehicles. 3...

A night shift coworker advised me that our vehicle was slow to start. I decided to let the engine idle for a while because this thing doesn't really get driven that much. I decided to pop the hood and check the battery for corrosion. My eyes about popped out when I saw the born on/put into...

Helping to clean a buddy of mine shop and while gathering up and organizing all his various petrochemical products noticed that many of them in the white bottles had turned yellow. The yellow seems to end where the top of the liquid is inside the bottle.

At my previous job we had a 2021 Ford Police Utility Interceptor aka an Explorer with the aspirated 3.3 V6 and the oil cap had 5W-20 emblazoned on it. At my new job, we drive a 2021 an Explorer turbo 4 cylinder that has 5W-30 emblazoned on the oil filler cap. Hmmmmm, guess 5W-20 can't take the...

Latest report on my wife's CX-9. Had the infamous FORD 3.7 water pump replaced a while ago. Looks like the Chevron claims about its conventional HDEO with "ISOSYN" technology is equal or better than competitors synthetic blends is on the mark. No, I didn't do an apples to apples comparison...

Was showing my 16 year old how to wash and care for her first vehicle, a 2005 Honda CR-V. I noticed even after a good application of Old No. 7 Cleaner/Polish that the hood was covered with imbedded crap. Towels quickly grabbed and hung up on these little suckers. I broke out the Quick Detailer...

This oil sampling had LubeGard LXE in it. The one before did not. Only real difference I could see was the Molybdenum and TBN was a bit higher. So, LubeGard LXE really did not do much to help. I expected as much but I spent my $12 and learned for certain. My present fill is conventional Delo...

I just read where a trucking company with the help of Mobil and Cummins have gone to a 60K mile OCI and keeps the engine in warranty as long as they do oil analysis every 10K. Is it the fact that the 'Big Trucks" have 20-40 gallon oil capacity and the fact that diesel fuel itself is oily that...

First time using this stuff. Comes in a charcoal lighter fluid can! I thought this must mean it is heavy in petroleum distillates. Once I mashed the "push the dot" top my suspicions were confirmed. Very thick stuff. Much thicker than Old No. 7 Polish or NuFinish. I disregarded the instructions...

Borrowed my dad's 2004, 4.6 Expedition to tow a trailer to move my daughter to college. I washed and waxed it and parked it. I set the parking brake, placed in PARK and when I went to turn the ignition switch OFF THE STARTER STARTED SPINNING WITHOUT ENGAGING THE FLYWHEEL! Now the engine shut...
