Gone in 60

Can't recall the brand, but if you go to costco.com, it's the only one on there. More expensive on their website - they're usually $300 even in the stores if you can find them.

I bought the system from Costco, and it works great. No spots on my cars or motorcycles - true "wash and walk away" performance.

Got a small bullseye with a small star on my windshield today. Low on the right side, so it's out of the field of view. A coworker recently had a similar hit repaired on his winshield, and it's still quite visible, although sealed so any cracks won't spread. I'm in Orange County, CA (L.A. area) and wondering if anyone knows if any particular type or brand of windshield repair that's better than another, as far as making a crack disappear as much as possible. Thank you!

Hmm.. I've got some pretty hard water. Might be worth a shot. Some people on a motorcycle forum were suggesting the Mr. Clean spot free rinse kit, but I hear that it strips wax to make the water sheet instead of bead. Do you know if there's any truth to that? I don't want to strip the wax of my car! Took too long to put it there in the first place!

The vac I'm covered on.

Anyone tried this? They're going for $300 or so at Costco. Water purifier/deionizer for car washing, and supposed to leave a spot free, "wash it and walk away" rinse. I have a motorcycle, which is hard to dry with a towel, and don't always have time to do a full detail on my cars - this is appealing if it works. Does anyone know if this works as advertised?

Use this advice at your own risk. This works best on side glass, not the windshield. It worked for me on some light scratches on a door window after a paintless dent removal guy (who is out of business now) carelessly let his tools dig into the glass while removing a door ding. Dip 0000 steel wool in some scratch remover, and polish the area of the scratch. You'll soon be able to determine if this will help make the scratch less visible, or if the scratch is too deep to deal with. After you've gotten it out as much as you can, polish the glass with scratch remover and then a less agressive polish. Note - I also tried this on the windshield of a car I did some restoration work on, to try to minimize a curved scratch caused by a bad wiper blade. It didn't work as well, and with direct sun hitting the windshield, you can see light micro scratches where I used the steel wool. You wouldn't have this problem on side glass, which is more vertical, and that you aren't staring through while you're driving.

Wow, that long. I haven't given it an hour - I'll try it. I'm in Orange, CA, normal weather here most of the time. Thanks for the help!

I've tried the Brilliant Spray Glaze. For some reason, it doesn't seem to dry on my car - I keep shaking the bottle, but even after leaving it on the car for a good 30 minutes or so before wiping, it isn't actually drying. I can wipe it off no problem, but it takes some effort to get all of the streaks off. The car is in a garage, so there's no dampness issues. What am I doing wrong here?

Is it possible to remove light scratches from chrome, and if so, how? I just bought a used motorcycle, and the only visible flaw are some light scuff marks on the chrome exhaust pipe under the passenger foot peg from shoe contact. Not deep scratches, can't feel them with a thumbnail. Thank you!

I'm looking for the best way to polish the slight scratches out of my motorcycle's plastic (lexan) windshield. The scratches aren't big, and are really only noticeable when I'm riding into a sunset, but for me, that's coming home from work every day. I've used Mothers and Meguire's plastic polishes by hand, with so-so results, but any advice would be very helpful! (also looking to polish the clear plastic gauge face on my old Mustang... Thanks!

Ok, so I just polished and waxed my car for the first time using the PC and the white and black polishing pads. Now, my question is, what's the best way to clean and store the pads for next time?

Greetings from Orange, CA! I've been buying and using Adam's for a few years now, since I got turned on to them by a friend of a friend of someone who knows Adam. I'm a detail nut, have been for years, and have tried everything on the market until I tried Adam's. I'm the sucker who bought the magic shine stuff at the car shows just to see if they worked. I'm also the guy friends come to when they get scratches, and when they need their cars cleaned up before trade-in time. Currently in the stable, I have: 2002 Mineral Grey Mustang drag/show car for fun and blowing off steam. 2005 Silver Ford Five Hundred sedan - big cushy box for hauling and long trips. 1998 Blue Civic - the wife's car. She met me just before the car started to suffer from clearcoat failure, but I've been able to revive it and make it shine. It's been a detailing project ever since. 2006 Honda 750 Aero - Daily ride to work - beats sitting in traffic! Plus lots of chrome to keep clean. I'm waiting for a new PC7424 and the new Adam's polishing kit to show up so I can have more detail toys to play with. My normal regimen for our cars is to clay twice a year, polish as necessary, and Butter Wax at least every two months. Just happy to be here!
