what do people recommend for scratches in windows (it was like it before i got the alero)

new glass? dont really think you can fix scratched glass..

what the best product to help clear headlights and tail lights? is there a how-to? i couldnt find one.

Stuff is AMAZING...takes work but it works

i just noticed how that was the only post about lens cleaning so i wanted to ask.

With the Blue Magic headlight restoration did you sand them down or anything?

Negative. Just follow the instructions on the box.

3m Ftw

Actually you can. I'm not sure if I would do it on size window glass though. they make kits for windshields (to remove the pitting). It's a lot of work, and I've never personally done it. Presumably it would also work on a side window, but I might want to actually remove the glass part to do it. Someone on eBay sells the kit to do it.

I've only ever used Blackfire products with a random orbital. Long process, but the car comes out looking GREAT! I'll probably do a full detail soon and post some pics.

Zaino everything. If they sell it, I have it. Prices vary deending where you buy it, but I go to The Barber Shop in Square One in Mississauga for supplies. Detailed professionally for 10 years **over 10,000 detailed vehicles under my belt** and have used everything under the sun. Dollar for dollar, best I've ever used, Zaino products are amazing

I use nothing but meguiars products i have a box in my car just for all of my cleaning products for exterior, wheel, leather cleaners, waxes, polishes leather conditioners. I even have meguiars polisher and buffer.

Zaino FTMFW. I only us their stuff and I can leave my car dirty for a month and it still looks perfect and deep glossy. I get compliments all the time on how clean my car is.



Now that is one badd shine

i just bought meguires quik detailer

i use nothing but meguires here. except black magic liquid tire shine, that stuff is the bomb. but the meguires quik detailer i dont like. it left streaks all on my car.. thats the only product i dont like from them, so now i clean my car almost every day with meguires quik wax, it works wonders. i never let my car get dirty, im a huge clean freak when it comes to the outside of my car. i feel happier driving my car when its clean so i clean it every day. lol

jhubbz, your car looks flawless in that pic.

Ouch!1
 

I use Mothers Clay bar for this type of stuff. 12-15.00 here in Canada.

My better half says I pay to much attention to mine! LOL

got turtle wax ice detailer and i didnt like it.
doesnt look like it did a thing

Got "Armor All" gift pack for christmas... excited about the exterior tire shine, rim cleaner, car wash and microfiber wash pad but a little unsure of the interior stuff... heard bad things about using armor all on our dashboards, anybody have any feedback?

Ive tried just about everything the one I really like is meguiar's their products are affordable and work great my alero get washed and waxed every week and I take a clay bar to her once a month.

Oh yea and meguiars new wheel shine works great you just wash your rims off real quick spray the foam on and wash it off and leaves them shining

I buy all my stuff from detailersdomain.com
