*Official* Ask A Detailer Thread

Ok so someone has probably asked this already but Whats the best cleaner to get dirt stains out of the TRD Sport Seats ive tried the oxy stuff but they are still there

 

I have used Aerospace 303 Fabric/Vinyl cleaner with great results. I diluted it with 4 parts water, scrub with a soft brush and wiped with a cloth.

 

Where do you get that stuff

 

I got it off Amazon

 

Any boating supply store should have it. I bought it at detailedimage.com.

i have really bad hard water/ acid rain spots on all windows of my double cab even the mirrors. i tried vinegar with no luck and moved on to more abrasive polishes like brasso. worked okay but took 2 hours to get one window decent. i was wondering if theres any strong cleaner/acid that will get my windows like new again. any suggestions?

 

not sure, maybe the claybar method would work? worked good on the waterspots all over my wife's car.

 

tried clay too and didnt work

 

well, check back here often, there are a few pro detailers that frequent this thread.

 

might try some 0000 steal wool. searched the internet and found spot-x and a few other products on autogeek but ill wait on some feedback before i buy

 

Hello everyone! Anyone know the best way to remove bug splatter? Just plain washing does'nt cut it, even with a little extra elbow grease. I just ordered a clay bar kit and I want to get my truck ready for it. Is there a product out there that is recommended or is the clay bar itself the way to go? Any advice is much appreciated....Thanks.

 

I use a bug and tar remover...spray and let it sit to siften it up, then a soft cloth to wipe it away.

 

Gonna try this...



Then this...



What do you guys think?

 

Why do you need the rubbing compound? That is a serious abrasive.

For OTC products I still think Mothers products are hard to beat.

 

The truck is bout 8 years old now...only have used the one step cleaner/wax since I've had it. There's a lot of scratches from wheeling threw trees and show good on the dark blue looks good from a far; not real oxidized but I always used the Maguires 3 step on my last white tacoma with great results. This is about the same isn't it?



Used Maguires, Mothers, and turtle, cleaner/wax over the last 5 years and nothing got comments like the Turtle Wax, every time. This last time I used Turtle hard shell wax and that shit is lasting like a mug, thought I'd try their rubbing and polish, then the hard shell....

 

Megs 3 step will work as well. For OTC products both Mothers and Megs are in the same class. Both work well. Just a matter of using the product you feel comfortable with.
