Product credits/flames
What products do the forum members want to credit/flame? IMHO
Best plastic, vinyl, rubber product - 303 Aerospace Protectant Worst - Armor All Best Wax/Paint Sealant - Zaino, Klasse or Liquid Glass (pick one) Worst - anything labeled cleaner/wax Best Leather conditioner - Leatherique Best glass cleaner - Stoners Invisible Glass Best oil - Mobil 1 super syn Best fuel system cleaner - generic toulene General flames to: Any headlight bulb with a visible blue tint (why deliberately reduce light output just to look whiter, plus our eyes prefer yellow hues to blue - try out some sunglasses to see yourself) |

where to get Zaino
The product can be mail ordered from Sal Zaino directly
http://www.zainobros.com/ or if you cruise around the site there's a list of secondary distributors. In my county I can pick it up at Eckler's Chevrolet (famous among Corvette fans - they swear by it). His product line may be confusing, if serious about getting some contact me, or e-mail/call him direct. He doesn't tolerate fools well, but will talk and is quite knowledgable about polymer chemistry application to paint shine and protection. |

Just saw a commercial for Lucas Transmission Fix. Advertises that it will stop slipping and stop almost any leak.
Anyone tried it? I'm afraid to try it.

Nothin...i meant to say: I'd be afraid to try it.
Just wondering if anyone else has tried it? Transmission was like the 3rd word of the commercial, and i was reading the "Best News" thread.

liquid glass
I used Liquid Glass for years and it worked very well, that is until base coat clearcoat. It never seemed to adhere to clearcoat.

Put two coats of liquid glass on my wifes '02 4Runner (noticed your sig block) in Feb. Still beads up and shines like crazy (Thunder Cloud Metallic, a clearcoated color). Some users claim it used to have silicon in it, the current version does not. So, maybe the formulation has changed since your last use.

Leatherique
I have tried several different leather conditioners. My leather is still much stiffer than it should be.
Do you think leatherique will fix it? I have treated the leather about 3 times in as many months with no improvement. I even took the seats out, treated them and put them in the sun for awhile thinking that this would allow the treatment to penetrate better. No improvement.

AutoTchr
This is just an opinion, but nobody comes close on softening and conditioning. While it can't fix color issues (although they will make custom dyes) it will bring back badly cracked leather to nearly new feel.
It's pretty expensive to use regularly. Average users (whatever that is) usually use it once a year then use a cheaper product like Meguiars on a more regular basis. Check at a concours - the Bentley, Dusenberg, etc people will (if they will give any secrets away) all admit to using Leatherique. Here's their site http://www.leatherique.com/ edit: If anybody wanted cheap conditioning (but maybe not so good on smell). Rub neat's foot oil into the leather until it won't take anymore. Let sit for awhile. Wipe off excess. This is the stuff I used as a kid on my baseball glove. Last edited by lee; 10-04-2002 at 04:37 PM. |
