Some products we have found.

A lot of you might already know about these two products, but we just started using them and like them a lot:

1) Turtle Wax Ice. Comes as a kit with polish and quick detailer. Goes a long way and I did my black body with it last night and Dan has done his truck. Seems to give it a very wet look and leaves no white residue.

2) Invisible Glass. I have tried Windex, Windex with vinegar, etc and my windshield was always streaky. This stuff does just what the name implies, the glass becomes so clean it is invisible. Try it, I guarantee you will like it, or your money back.

Anybody else have some favs?

I use a product called Spray Away for glass...you have to get it at the hardware store but it's worth it. I'm also partial to a product called Spray Nine that's like 409 on steroids..also available only at hardware stores..

Gibbs brand peneatrant.
This sutff is every bit as good as they say it is.
You can buy it on Ebay cheaper than you can on the website. Do a search and read about it.

No more Wd-40, liquid wrench, etc.

I'm with you Don on the Invisible Glass. I've always been a stickler on clean windows and normally carry a clean white towel and glass cleaner in whatever I'm driving. Windex at one time sold a foam cleaner that was pretty good but IMHO, the liquid stuff is just absolutely awful. BTW, Invisible Glass does come in a foam which I've found is superior to their liquid.

Got to try that invisible glass, wondering who might handle it around here....guess I'll have to look for it should I ever go shopping someplace other then a parts store.....

I use NAPA glass cleaner, it's a foam and works good but sure would like something that's better!

Here is a tip for ya:

Never put armor all on vinyl. I put it on a perfect condition dash once, about a 20 year old car. When the bottle ran out, I got bored with it and stopped applying it. By summer's end, the entire dash spiderwebbed.

Instead, use pledge spray wax. Same shine, but will not encourage cracking.

Also: for my whitewalls, I like Bleche White and a scrub brush. Does a nice job with minimal elbow grease.

i love turtle wax ice. i also use the ice car wash. for my dash i use goop cream. works great without leaving a slick film on my dash and seats.

Invisible Glass is the whip!

Also a Mr. Clean Eraser works wonders, applications are endless.

As far as wax/polishes/sealers NOTHING beats Zainos Show Car Polish and detail spray.
It's unsurpassed for shine and durability.

Meguiars makes a great dash and trim preservative, Interior Detail Master (no shine, not oily).

PB Blaster for rusted nuts and bolts.

Last, but not least, for you really domesticated individualists, Dyson Animal, everytime we use it we empty dirt from China out of the hopper!

Reynolds Aluminum foil for covering (masking) up irregular shape parts while painting.

I've used English metal restore on my old aluminum mags with amazingly good results. I have also used Bleche White with mixed results on my Harley's white walls. It worked great on any small stains, but one big one that was there for over a year it didn't do much to hide. I think more scrubbing and effort on my part might lead to success!

[firebird77clone]

my technique for bleche white on my Indian's whitewalls:

spray down both sides of tires

let it sit for about 5 minutes, then scrub it down with wet scrub brush.

rinse, and repeat as needed.
