I switched from a cordless leaf blower the the Master Blaster. I have it wall mounted though I sometimes roll it around. In my opinion, the two biggest benefits over a shop vac or leaf blower are...

Needs a good wash and a thorough compound and polish to get rid of high spots after my unsuccessful CQUK attempt. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170519/28992b6f31e55282ea40d5af8f3250d4.jpg

Yes I did mean to add start with the least aggressive/destructive product :)

Depending on whether the wheels are painted and clear coated, you may want to try an acid wash. I've used Nanotech Speedybrite. Meguiar's have a similar product. Both are nasty, need to be diluted,...

I was trying to get some spots off the black vinyl decals on the hood of a Mini Cooper. They look like water spots and one in particular looks like it came from the windshield washer fluid as there...

I've had good success with the Leatherworld product. See this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/850376-leather-seat-repair-using-leatherworld-2.html#post11924901

A couple of years on...

Take a look at this video. Ignore the products mentioned - It is a good demo of the techniques for wheels. I find that unless I wash my alloys and agitate using the wheel woolie or wash mitt, the...

This is a short video about cleaning a light-colored fabric convertible top. There were a few greasy marks and what turned out to be abrasion presumably due to the top rubbing against something in...

I would start with the wheels using separate everything: bucket, wash mitt, etc. I'm assuming that you're going to be using some kind of wheel cleaner, which means that you'll need to rinse it off....

I have Aquapel on my windshield, which has a rain sensor. No ill effects and it has been raining a bunch here.

I would get the IronX or similar. I would also recommend the wheel woolies pack of 3. Just got them and they make cleaning wheels much easier in my opinion. You may also want to consider something...

Are the CarPro ones the suede ones or more like traditional microfiber? I don't feel that I'm removing much with the suede - just moving the stuff around. Maybe that just means I applied too much of...

Yes - use the suede towels. Anything else is going to leave bits behind and probably just isn't fine enough. You can order them online.

I did CQuartz UK on a dark blue Porsche 911. I was not happy...

Thank you. The side you can see was washed with Meguiar's Gold Class :)

Washed yesterday and CarPro HydrO2 applied. Wheels cleaned with Griot's Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner (on the visible side, Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner on the other)....

Thanks for the suggestions. I pretty much do what Mike describes here. I've used both 303 and Raggtop convertible top products.

I do own a steam cleaner and had good success cleaning the original...

I was not aware that only AGO-sold products were to be discussed here. My apologies.

@fightnews - One of their US distributors contacted me. I was not familiar with the product-line, so I thought...

Got my Flexzilla too. I put a Gilmour valve on it at the end but it was leak city. Replaced it with a Dramm that was 3x the price but seems solid. Added Gilmour brass quick connects to the regular...

I see that Angelwax is now available in the US. I was thinking of giving their Bilberry Wheel Wax a try and one of the Angelwax "bodywork" waxes, either Angelwax Fifth Element (because Mila...

Hi Mike - On the "insurance" thread yesterday, I mentioned some spots on a light-colored fabric top. Some pictures are below.

Depending on your sensitivity, it might be worth considering doing it yourself and just using a damp cloth. If you need to get more aggressive then you can add chemicals but at least this way it...

Thanks Mike - that's truly impressive!

In my case, the light colored top is only a few years old (a replacement top for a 911). It is regularly cleaned so I think it is in good shape. I have an...

When I applied IronX to my CLS550 not too much color change happened, which was gratifying. What are your thoughts on using an iron remover on a fabric convertible top (both light and dark colored)?

Yes definitively all from the same source. Not sure if one is more effective than another. Also quite flammable!

Thanks fellow PNWer (Bellevue here)!
