    Re: BMW Platnuim Bronze Metallic

    It's going to be hard to get a brown car to "pop" when reflecting a brown surface (the ground). Maybe you could get a picture where what's reflected is better illuminated and not the same color as...

    Re: BMW Platnuim Bronze Metallic

    Post some pics. I have a car in the same color and it wows me when it's clean and waxed, but my standards may be lower than yours. :)

    Re: Hard water

    If the water spots aren't etched in, you may want to try claying the windshield.

    Re: How do "you" use Opti-Bond tire gel??????

    I used to use it undiluted by squeezing it out of a squeeze bottle on to a wood staining pad, but found it a little too thick to spread easily and evenly. Now I dilute it 1:1 and spray it out of a...

    Re: Gasoline on paint

    That's what I normally do, but this nozzle must've had a defective shutoff mechanism, because immediately after it triggered, about an ounce or so of gas flooded the area and dripped down the side of...

    Gasoline on paint

    What happens to paint if you leave some gasoline on it?

    Some gas overflow dripped down on my paint yesterday. I blotted it dry with paper towels at the gas station, then dabbed it with some...

    Re: Review: Ultima Interior Guard Plus (UIGP)

    I tried UIGP for the first time last weekend instead of my usual OPP. I wiped down the interior with a damp MF before applying, it seemed to do a good enough job of removing the old layer of...

    Is the Mother's cleaner much more effective on tires than an APC? I've had no trouble getting my wheels clean with OPC with agitation, but anything that would help get the brown off of tires without...

    Did you need to use most of the bottle to clean four wheels and tires like some of the reviewers say?

    Re: Lowes ONR grout sponge...

    Sounds good, I'll give them a try. How do you find their durability? The Lowes sponges start leaving little bits of sponge on my car after 10 to 20 uses.

    Re: I gotta brag on Optimum Car Wax

    I'm a little surprised by this since the gallon container of Aquawax I have doesn't mention UV protection at all. It's one of the reasons I switched to OCW. Knowing this, I'd still choose OCW over...

    What's so special about this Aqua sponge that it's worth the cost of 6 Lowes grout sponges?

    Thanks Optimum!

    I went out to my car this morning to drive to work and found a ton of neon green splatter all over the side of my car. Apparently, someone decided to throw a container of neon green fluid at my car...

    Re: found some very nice drying towels at wal-mart!

    I haven't had a chance to try them yet, but these drying mats seem to hold a ton of water. I washed them and put them through a full drying cycle and they still came out damp.

    How are you guys...

    Re: found some very nice drying towels at wal-mart!

    I never really understood why it was so important that a car could be dried with a single towel. Is there something wrong with wringing out a drying towel?

    Re: found some very nice drying towels at wal-mart!

    The brand is Shoe Gear. It seems to be of good quality, but I haven't tried using it yet. I figured it was worth a shot for $4.

    Re: found some very nice drying towels at wal-mart!

    I went to Walmart today and grabbed a couple of the towels. I haven't tried using them yet, but at worst, I could just use them as dish drying mats as it says on the packaging. :)

    Using Iron X on wheels
