Get a beater to drive in the nasty weather conditions

Good ole Dawn dish soap is probably best for leather seats. I don't know about cloth seats.

But the thing with upholstery, cleaning products have the ability mess with the color if you don't test...

My recommendation, Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray - lasted 99 washes.

If you are really anal about keeping your car swirl free and clean, it's best to get a beater during the winter and drive that...

Damn, that looks like a lot of work. Lol..

Yeah car clear coat is suuuuuuper fragile to the lighting touch. A touch with the finger is enough to leave scratches. I've found that dry microfiber clothes also leave large gaping scratches.

Nothing beats Rain X but you have to reapply every week.

Wax makes water not want to stick to paint, which makes it easier to clean.

Spray detailer is meant to be a light cleaner. After every drive, you'll accumulate a bit of dust.

If you want...

Thanks! What I got from the experiment was that the best products only give us 60 degree contact angles. Its still a lot better than zero, lol. Companies should be pushing for 90 degrees, because...

I have the 303 graphene and have found it to be grabby when you buff it off. The manufacturers arn't giving clear instructions. Not to mention this stuff barely last a month in some reviews.

Thanks. It means a lot. I got addicted to games and have lost a lot of time. But it has also helped me to value school and the things I've learned a lot more. Money doesn't come in when one play...

Actually this test is about as simple and crude as it can get. I'm not a Chemist. But I am a college student who has some background in science.

The surface was flat and it didn't have any special coatings.

Other surfaces have coatings that didn't give me an angle of around zero from the start.

It had the same surface as a car panel...

Ill test it. But I'm confident that there wont be a noticeable difference.

Also im not going to use the names of the products.

First test: Water beading levels of popular sealants/ceramics/waxes

By beading level, I mean how circular the water droplets are when they are on the treated surface. The testing methods I am...

I tried smoking and drinking alcohol but never got trapped myself. However, with certain types of videos games, it's designed to trap you and make you addicted. In case anyone is wondering, I got...

Games can be really bad for the general public. I learned in psychology 101 some of the techniques that video games employ to hook their players. It's quite sad. And I feel victim to it for years....

I don't buy the sliding angle argument that Dr Beasleys has taken. You can change the surface of a surface to bead water, but you can't change the surface's angle(imo). He needs to prove it.

But I...

Hi guys. Wow, it's been a while since I was last here(2015).

Just want to introduce myself a bit. A couple of years ago I spent a little bit of money(around 1K) in the hopes of being an amateur...

Lol! That's some crazy dedication right there. I stopped polishing after a couple of passes by hand.

Hand polishing I would recommend for NEW NEW cars. Even then, it is still hard work and will kill your arm. I tried to polish out an eight year old car with some turtle polish once and could not...

1. Pressure wash it with water.
2. Do a rinse less wash.
3. Clay with a DA
4. Iron X(I use ferrex)
5. Pressure wash again.
6. Use a light finishing polish. Use stronger compound if needed.
7....

What I do is put my website on my card as the main idea. On the back I give some details about what I do and lead them to my website. Once they visit my website, a short video automatically plays...

Wow, that thing looks new. Excellent work Dean. Do you think you can go into more detail how you restored the headlights? I usually just clay the head lights and it gives me good results. Do you...

Im an idiot. Should have used the search button. Please delete thread mods.

Hi all, my question is how do you clean the non clear coated plastic trim? I applied a layer of Opti seal to this trim but it still shows up streaky and dirty. I even washed it with soap to no...
