Even better!

 

I was leaning towards CQuartz in the spring, but with this deal, I may need to give optimum a shot.

 

Does anybody know what this funk on my radio and clock display is? It appeared the first time I cleaned the dash, shortly after buying the truck. I just wiped it with a microfiber cloth and interior cleaner and it looked like that after. Maybe it could have something to do with whatever the dealer used to grease the interior. It was sooooo greasy when I bought it. Some kind of Armor All like crap was coating everything inside. Engine bay too, but that's a different story. Anyway, I can't get it clean now.

 

You could try Meguiars PlastX. Or Meguiars #10 and #17. But that looks/sounds like a job for PlastX.

 

Use an all-purpose cleaner. I use the one from Chemical Guys. I can't tell from the pic put is the plastic cloudy or damaged from whatever was put on it?

What kind of interior cleaner did you use?

 

looks like someone got a bit too excited about their Tacoma. Don't worry, you aren't the first, and wont be the last. lolololololol

 

Had a semi implode a tire in front of me on the freeway. A couple large chunks nailed my hood and windshield. I was able to get the black rubber off my windshield, but what would I use to get the black shit off my hood? Would a rubbing compound work?

 

you tried a medium grade clay bar? That should get most of it off.

 

So question for you guys, what's best for removing dog hair? I have a great Dane and my wife is sick of all the hair in the house and in the car.

To the point where she has brought up the idea of getting rid of him.
So I'm going to start brushing him but what do I do for all the hair already on furniture and inside car?

 

Spraying fabric first with Static Guard makes the removal of the hair a lot easier. You can use a combination of a vacuum and a lint roller to remove the hair.

 

Get new wife? Dogs will shed unless you have a breed that sheds less. Great Dane are generally short hair, so it is not as bad long hair dogs. Vacuum often and brushing him daily is the only thing I think of, other than giving him better quality food so it doesn't fall out as quick, but no guarantees on that.

 

Get a pet hair brush

 

Thanks for the help guys. My wife likes the dog and I have many photos of her cuddling with the dog when I get home at night so she isn't a hag like I made her out to be. She just gets sick of dog hair on the bed/clothes... And he's not even allowed on the furniture, just gets on our clothes

 

Duct tape!

 

You know I was only kidding, but the thought of getting rid of your dog because of the frustration of too much dog hair... imagine if you had a long haired dog... it's even worse. Daily brushing does remove a lot of the hair about to fall out. Plus most dogs like the feeling of a brush rubbing on their skin/coat... like an itch they can't scratch. Good luck to your family!

 

Anyone else have a mold/mildew problem in the windshield channel? Any remedies?

 

After my second wash of my 2016 Tacoma I see several water spots. I have used good wash, proper mitt, keep it wet until I either blow it off of road dry it then finish with the proper towel. Is there a way like to remove the ones that show up after the car is dry?

 

Polish. Simething like Megs Ultimate Polish. Cleaner wax might work, too. I hear great things about HD Speed.

 

Are the spots there before you wash?
