Headlight Restoration, Fast & Easy w/ 3M Kit Headlight Restoration, Fast & Easy w/ 3M Kit

Yesterday I finished a how-to guide on repairing plastic headlight lenses (Restoring Plastic Headlight Lenses), then found a complete 3M kit with everything you need. Just my luck. All is well, though, because after lunch I went down to NAPA Auto Parts to look at the product and was really impressed. My original plan was to show how to do the job... [Read more of this review]

Microfiber Chenille Wash Mitt by Cobra Microfiber Chenille Wash Mitt by Cobra

I have about eight of these Microfiber Chenille Wash Mitts in different colors. I buy them to try or vendors give them to me to test. What I can tell you is they are not all the same. The good ones are thick and have really long chenille strands. The cheap one fall apart quickly, feel rough and the chenille strands are much shorter. Priced under... [Read more of this review]

303 Aerospace, Best Vinyl/Rubber/Leather Protectant: $8.99! 303 Aerospace, Best Vinyl/Rubber/Leather Protectant: $8.99!

I think someone entered this wrong, because I've never seen 303 Aerospace 16 oz. for $8.99. That's close to what most dealers pay for this fantastic VLRP (vinyl, leather, rubber and plastic protectant). In case you're not familiar, 303 Aerospace is a top rated car detailing product, and has been for years. I love it because I can use it to treat... [Read more of this review]

I own two MetroVac Vac N Blo car vacuums, the original and the large wall mounted unit. The original I've owned since 1999, and it still performs like it did the day I got it.

These vacuums perform like my big 5HP shop vac, only you can put it on your... [Read more of this review]

Best Detail Clay… Under $13, Really? Yes! Best Detail Clay… Under $13, Really? Yes!

Here's a money saving tip for you.  Keep your eye on Amazon open box specials.  I found Mothers Clay for $10.99 and Meguiar's Clay for $12.99.  The boxes may be damaged, but who cares?  You're going to throw it away as soon as you get it anyway. Amazon is one of the largest retailers of Mothers Polishes and Meguiar's consumer products.  So, it... [Read more of this review]

Meguiar’s Softbuff Foam Pads @ Blowout Prices! Meguiar’s Softbuff Foam Pads @ Blowout Prices!

If you're a car polishing fool, like me, you have a ready supply of foam polishing pads for your dual-action car polisher. At an average of $10 to $12 each, the cost can really add up. When I found Amazon blowing out Meguiar's original Softbuff 6" foam pads for as low as $7.35 each (list price $12.99 to $14.99), I knew I had to scoop up a few. Granted,... [Read more of this review]

Meguiar’s SwirlX: #205 Ultra Finishing Polish in a 16 oz. Bottle? Meguiar’s SwirlX: #205 Ultra Finishing Polish in a 16 oz. Bottle?

According to my sources, Meguiar's SwirlX and Meguiar's #205 Ultra Finishing Polish are "basically" the same car polishes packaged for different markets. My own use of both products confirms this suspicion. Meguiar's staff claim their newest generation technology car polishes rank in the following order of aggressiveness: Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut... [Read more of this review]
