  1. Re: Mothers Carnauba paste wax stuck all over car, why?

    As I might not have made clear in our emails, that can should be disposed of -- it is over 5 years old -- hence, why I'm sending you a fresh can.

    Granted, I don't normally replace 5-year old...
  2. Re: Mothers Carnauba paste wax stuck all over car, why?

    Whit,

    Thanks for getting back to us with more details by email.

    I believe because of the age of the can, it may have dried a little faster on the surface, and that's why this time you used it,...

    Re: Was I foolish to buy it?

    ktown,

    You are not foolish.

    As the point has been made here, ad nauseam, the Wax Attack II may not be for everyone, but many love it.

    However, as with all of our products, we stand behind...
  4. Re: HELP! Used Bug & Tar Remover, now milky stains.

    SwifTone,

    I'm very sorry to see you having a problem with one of our products.

    And though it probably sounded like a good idea at the time, I would not have recommended this application for our...

    Re: Alcoa aluminum wheel polishing?

    Alcoa wheels come with a sticker on the face that says "Alcoa" on wheels without a coating, or "Alcoa Dura-Bright" on wheels with a coating. Otherwise the wheels generally look the same.

    You can...
  7. Re: How do you detail chrome that is already in great condition ?

    In my experience, at least some metal polishes that are advertised to also polish chrome are also more than likely to damage chrome -- I have done it. This is likely because polishes that are...
  8. Re: How do you detail chrome that is already in great condition ?

    As noted by FUNX650, chrome plating is a decorative finish, and thus much like glass it cannot be polished to make it any brighter than when it was new.

    And the quality of chrome varies a lot.

    Re: having trouble cleaning wheels

    I'll agree that it looks like the wheel was refinished, but it's not holding up.

    Re: Mothers Speed Clay 2.0

    Hi, jonklim,

    It is possible a little more pressure may be necessary to remove more stubborn contaminants -- this may also be true with traditional clay.

    SpeedClay 2.0 is faster in general...

    Re: HELP! Aluminum Wheel Cleaning Gone Wrong

    I will, of course, agree with Forrest, and we are both very sorry for your trouble.

    While this formula has only been around for about 6 or 7 years, you might have used another wheel cleaner for...
  12. Re: Mothers foaming wheel and tore cleaner on aluminum ??

    I was just looking at the photos again... the tires could indeed benefit from a good cleaner, and you might try our Back-to-Black Tire Renew tire cleaner -- spray and wipe -- it's a great product and...
  13. Re: Mothers foaming wheel and tore cleaner on aluminum ??

    There are a couple things that Forrest and I want to point out (Forrest is traveling today and asked me to jump online).

    The Lexus wheel is what we'd simply call a coated wheel -- coated with a...
  14. Re: Mothers trim protectant running.. HELPHELP

    I am very sorry to hear about the problem you had.

    Some of the tough trim on trucks, especially bed rails, are very tough to withstand abuse, and thus trim dressings and similar products don't...

    "had no effect" -- did the applicator turn black?

    Can you post some photos?
  16. Re: Mini review of Mother's Wheel and Tire Cleaner

    Test by re-cleaning only half of the tire by spraying liberally onto the tire, and then spreading/agitating with a brush. Rinse as directed. Let dry.

    Some (very few, actually) compounds might not...

    Re: how do i restore PVD chrome wheels?

    PVD is a unique finish that is much different than chrome plate, but it has some similarities in that there is no way to restore the luster of the reflective finish itself if it gets damaged.

    But...

    Re: Mothers/meguiers wheel cleaners

    You may have a defective sprayer... though two in a row is odd. Some foaming inside the bottle is normal (and it eventually settles), but it sounds like you may have an issue.

    Please email me.

    Keep in mind that the Professional Wheel Cleaner does not really clean tires like the Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner does.
