Very long and disgusting story short, my dog had tummy troubles on a ride home from airport, and I think the smell might kill us all. I've spent 2 hours trying to clean it all out, but it still smells absolutely terrible. Like I'm seriously thinking about leaving the keys in it and seeing what happens.
Failing that, who in town can clean out a leather interior and make it smell at best neutral again?
Okay, I know the title sounds weird but, this morning right after I washed the damn car, a bird (I assume it was a seagull) decided to take the biggest shit on my car. The thing is, my neighbourhood is full of berry trees so the poop was purple, like really purple (pic 2), so when I went to wash it off with the pressure washer it left a stain on the paint.
I could not get it off.
My car is old (26 years), the paint is destroyed by the sun so I think that helped the stain become "permanent".
Is there anything I can try to get the stain off? Painting the entire hood white again is not really an option since it's quite expensive and it's not worth it due to how old the car is.
is this mould!! also how do i get rid of it? i have tried everything from scrubbing the surface constantly with many types of antibacterial sprays to using a wet vacuum but nothing seems to work!
Please help...
About to deep clean my wife’s car as we head into nice weather. How do I clean this plastic without scratching it? I made a mistake on a different spot and scratched it up using windex and a microfiber cloth.
Hi. I got a preowned 2024 Haval H6 HEV. When it rains, the wipers leave a haze on the windshield for seconds before it disappears. If the wipers are continuously running, the haze remains there all the time. How can I get rid of it? I’m not too comfortable with dealing with it myself. Any service recommendation would be great. Thanks!
Hello!
I am currently shopping for my first pressure washer and I’d like a machine that can be repaired either by a small engine shop or by myself.
I am looking to stay under 1000$ for the machine itself and for a machine that can run on 15A outlets. Therefore, the active 2.3 comes to my mind (the kit from Carzilla).
I was looking also at the cheaper Stihl RE 130 Plus but its compatibility with 3rd party accessories is very bad.
The Kranzle 1622 is also incredible and would totally be perfect if it wasn’t 1700$CAD and I think it needs a 20A breaker too…
Thanks for your insight and advice!
25 rav4. Went to clean the dusty dash with a clean microfibre towel and these showed up. How do I get rid of them? I tried some megiiars dash protectant which didn’t seem to do much. Help!!!
Hello, I have these many white scratches on the black trim of my car but they are not "deep". Is there any way to make them disappear or reduce their appearance as much as possible, please ?
Folded my middle seat down on a phone charger unknowingly and it’s left creases in the leather. Can this be repaired? Car is 2019 Mazda CX-5
My car has a little change cubby that had something spilled into it, coins and such have since stuck into the little cubby and won't budge. What should I use to break up the stickiness and clean out the entire tiny little bin? Its about its about the length of 2 fingers long ways and an inch tall.
Recently just bought a bunch of stuff to start detailing cars, is this a good start? And any recommendations on what to get next?
Recently got a lightly used 2022 CX-5. Noticed this mark on the plastics near the volume knob. You can feel it with your fingernail, but nothing seems to flake up. Tried various interior cleaning solutions. Does anyone recognize this and have any solutions for removing?
I have been getting more into detailing recently and one thing i’ve noticed is most people focus on the obvious stuff first like seats, carpets, exterior, windows, but there’s always one area that gets completely ignored until it’s really bad. areas like steering wheels, cup holders, door jambs, under seats, and trunk spaces
I cleaned a car earlier this week where the cup holders basically turned into a second storage compartment lol
also I realized how much little details change the overall feel of a car. even when a car isn’t perfect, once certain areas are cleaned properly it instantly feels newer.
I am curious what area you guys think people neglect the most when cleaning their cars?
I always use micro fiber towels and make sure nothings on them. The only new thing i used last time i washed the wheels was a microfiber paw mit. But im not sure how long these have been on the rims. I mean it looks like a dang scrub pad was used. Guess only good thing is my wheels are black so its not to noticeable. Whatd be the best way to try an get those out?
I have a brand new 26 plate Audi Q2 black edition - she’s gorgeous!🌟 However, now needs a wash & I’m being told not to take it to a normal car wash due to risk of scratching also they don’t spend time “detailing” - whatever that means. So anywaysss, opened my boot & I have an Autoglym lifeshine kit box:
Wheels
1 x Custom wheel cleaner
1 x Instant Tyre dressing
Glass
1 x Fast glass
Interior
1 x Interior Shampoo
1 x Autofresh
Exterior
1 x Foaming car wash
1 x Rapid ceramic spray
I think I got given this because I had the car coated in ceramic?
Long story short - CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW I SHOULD WASH THE CAR MYSELF THIS WEEKEND? Like, what goes on first😭😭 - everyone’s saying 2 buckets & shall I get a microfibre mit… I do have a hose
