Auto Detailing Secrets? What's Your Secret?

[mztykal]

Ok somethings wrong. I registered for the Autopia forums and there are no posts. I refresh, cleared my cache, and I can't see any posts. It keeps telling me "no posts in the last XXX days". But I look at the time stamp on the main page and there are posts and people viewing the forums. I'm lost!!!

Did you reply to the email they sent? I've been going back to the same open window since I logged in the first time, so I'm not sure what would happen if I tried a fresh session.

For you guys using armor all... ick!
[Momma Boucher] Armor All is the Devil! [/Momma Boucher]
Get yourself something that won't dry up your plastics/rubbers and cause them to crack... 303 Aerospace protectant is some of the best... if you want a armor-all-like shine then get Vinylex.
www.properautocare.com - Great place to buy stuff from... I placed several orders from them and each one shipped the same day and got here 2 days later.

You can still use armor all... just try to keep it out of the interior and use it on wheel wells and possibly under the hood. Not on your tires or dash and especially not your steering wheel.

Looks like I'll be using Roger's engine cleaning tips sooner than I thought. I had to get under the hood to put a new hood latch in. Picked it up at the dealer and installed it, but it's still too hard to close, IMO. While I was under there, I saw the "detailing" job by the dealer wasn't so great after all, and there was another mess I didn't care for... Ugh!
