    Water Spots on PPF

    Hello everyone I have got some water spots on my paint protection film. I always wash the car, rinse, then dry with a leaf blower & microfiber drying towels. I assume the spots were caused by not drying the water off fast enough? How can I remove these spots now? Thanks, John Scott

    Wheel balance weight adhesive

    I have what appears to be adhesive tape from a previous wheel balance job on the barrel of one of my wheels. The tape is kinda thick, and white. My wheels are black ( factory finish) and the white really stands out. Any ideas on how to safely remove this? Thanks!

    Usefulness of foaming a car

    I m confused about the usefulness of foaming a car. If I’m just going to turn around after foaming and go through my regular washing progress, why spend the time foaming. But if I could foam, rinse and blow dry with my leaf blower, that would save time. My car has ppf on entire hood, front...

    Car Wash Products

    There are so many car wash products available, and a lot of them are very expensive. I’m kinda confused about what to use. Both of my cars have a ceramic coating. Is a car wash product made for washing cars, ph neutral, no other additives ( wax, etc.) good enough? Or should I use the wash...

    Tire Treatment

    I have posted about tire treatment before and feel like I have a good understanding of how to prep the tire for treatment . I have been researching what product I want to use on my tires after prep. The car is always garaged, and mainly used for just road trips. I want a matte finish, and long...

    Tire coating

    Mike I have read the review you did of Tuf Shine cleaner and coating. This was in 2018, on a orange corvette. I would like to ask you some questions: 1. Should brand new tires be driven awhile, or could I go right into my tire project? 2. Th kit comes with a applicator, you used a stain...
