Vinyl is the carefully prepared hide of virgin pampered Arctic Naugas. Many Naugas must die to furnish enough material for just one interior panel. The dash, door panels, seatbacks, and numerous other interiors/exterior trim pieces are usually vinyl.
Why use an exterior rubber/vinyl protectant? The two main reasons are to improve the appearance and protect the tire or trim against long term damage. Use a rubber or vinyl protectant on only unpainted rubber or vinyl.
Brake pad squeal is one way to warn other drivers that you and your car are about to arrive. If you make enough noise, they think they are about to become intimate with a runaway garbage truck (pedestrians will yank small children back from the curb).
There have been tremendous amounts of advertising and “hype” about overspray clays. Overspray clays have been around since the 1930s (No, they are not brand new.) What is new is the marketing of a product for a use other than it was designed.
Problem: “The wheels show whitish discoloration….and small streaks “. This problem is not unusual and may be the result of several factors. The most common cause is your friendly local car wash. Many automated car washes use acid to clean the wheels and tires.
A paint protectant is nothing more than a clear, sacrificial coating for the painted, clear coated, powder-coated, polished, chromed and almost all other areas of your car except the unpainted rubber trim parts.
Car covers can help protect your car parked in the great outdoors from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, bird droppings, wind-borne particles, sun fading, the claws of animals and even the prying eyes of thieves.
The repair of a scratch and a chip are the same. A scratch is merely a chip on uni-directional steroids. The only problem with a scratch is that it takes more time to be able to blend in the new paint.
Any product used to clean should be gentle and any product chosen to protect your top should be specifically designed for your type of top. If the top is dirty, then use a gentle, pH neutral car wash and rinse thoroughly with lots of water and allow to air dry.
There are two basic types of convertible, cabriolet or soft tops. Most American cars, Japanese cars, and Targa Tops are vinyl impregnated or vinyl coated fabric. The vinyl coating provides both waterproofing and protection against the elements.
You should always use the least aggressive cleaning product/method possible. If you wash your wheels frequently and keep up with the accumulation of brake dust, a simple car wash solution may be enough.
Cleaning leather is best accomplished by using a specifically designed, quality leather cleaner. Of all the products I have tried, my two favorites are Lexol pH Cleaner and Leather Therapy Wash. Both are pH balanced and effective yet gentle.
A paint protectant is nothing more than a clear, sacrificial coating for the painted, clear coated, powder-coated, polished, chromed and almost all other areas of your car except the unpainted rubber trim parts.
Why should you clean the engine compartment? Rust prevention, early oil/fluid leak detection, early belt wear detection, and cosmetics are among the prime reasons.
Cleaning your paint does not mean washing your car. It means using a pre-wax cleaner to remove oxidation and contaminants, add emollient oils back into the paint to improve brilliance and prepare the paint for wax. There are several pre-wax cleaners on the market that will accomplish one, two or all three of these functions.
How often should you wash your vehicle? The answer is wash as often as you wish, but usually, once a week is sufficient. Dirt and contaminants should be removed before they have a chance to attack or permanently attach themselves to your paint. There is almost no such thing as washing your car too often.
