Thanks Moe, the rotary brush idea looked like a good way to get directly behind the spoke to clean the flat area of the rim, but not having used one, I dunno!

 

The brush I suggested actually bends in any way you want to get behind caliper, in between rotor and caliper, and behind the spokes of the wheel. You can't do all that with a drill, it has to be done by hand.

Try this kit...it'll have all the right brushes and cleaner to get you started:

Moe,
Do u sell a quick detailing spray that can be used between washes. Something to shoot the jams and stuff. I have used mequires(sp?) and Speed Shine, but am looking for something better.
Thanks
Jim

 

Hi Jim...One of the best detail sprays, that's actually a spray wax, is Einszett Spray Wax. It can be used after each wash to preserve the wax already on the car and it also adds an excellent shine to the paint. Pair it with their Perls Shampoo and you'll be in shine heaven.

Hey Moe, what is the difference in the EZ Detail Brush and the Daytona Speed Master?

I'd rather you buy the ez-detail brush since we sell them in small and regular size

Cool, will do! I have the Carrera Sport wheels, so I'm thinking I can get the "regular" in between the spokes OK, what's your take? Also, what do you recommend as a coating to prevent brake dust collection, such as Rejex?

 

Yes..the regular ez detail brush will be perfect. The small one was designed to get into really tight spaces such as engine compartment.

Rejex is great as a sealant on the wheels to prevent brake dust. Make sure you treat ALL parts of the wheel and even the calipers. Use a mild wheel cleaner like P21S Wheel Cleaner as your routine cleaner and your wheel will look better than new for years.

Moe, while I'm at it;
In my search for a 997.2 I noticed a number of Ventilated seat optioned cars with what I would call a stain of the vent holes. Most were black, but the punching operation leaves the holes lighter in color, white or light grey, if you will. That makes for a nice contrast when new, but if there is spillage (or if you take your neighbor for a test ride, there may be some "other bodily fluid" leakage) that shows up as a dark spot area that is really just a stain of the hole lining.

My question is, do you think something like 303 Fabric Guard would work to repel the staining, and would it be safe enough to use on the leather seat? If not, what else would work well?

 

The areas of the holes that are stamped are merely the leather depth of hide. This area is going to change color due to wear and tear. You're going to be sitting on the holes, rubbing the small circumference of the holes against the exposed surfaces, and your body oils will also have a factor in the wear as well. So what I'm getting at is you'll have to accept the wear and tear aspect of the holes. If you do spill something, you can clean the area, let it dry, maybe use a toothpick to gently poke through areas that may be clogged, then condition the leather. That would be my best advice.

 

Hi Moe: Here are some photos of my 97 Prelude weekly driver that has sat outside for the last 5 years or so: Very severe damage to upper facing panels, but primarily the hood. I think the clearcoat is still there, as you can see from certain angles. How, if at all possible, can I correct this embarrassment? I have all of the Menzerna products and pads that I purchased from you. Is there any life left in this paint, or should I not waste my time?? Thank you in advance!

 

YIKES!!! I'll tell you this....great room for improvement. The answer is YES..you can make it better. I can say this because I do see some gloss on the paint, which tells me the clear is simply oxidized. I forget what pads you have and which polish. But you'll need a yellow, orange, and red gp ccs pad. You'll need Menzerna SIP and Super Finish (Nano Polish PO106), and a good polisher like the FLEX. If you don't have a flex and have a pc, you'll be OK, it'll just take longer and the result won't be as good as a flex.

Here are the steps:

Polish: Menzerna SIP/GP Yellow Pad (optional of Orange Pad/SIP doesn't do the trick)
Polish: Menzerna SIP/GP Orange Pad
Polish: Menzerna Super Finish or Nano Polish/GP White Pad
Wax: Apply a sealant like einszett Glanz
ENJOY: Grab a beer or a glass of wine and stand back at the new prelude

 

Moe: Thank you for the quick response. I knew you were going to ask! I should have stated up front what I have:

Menzerna SIP and NanoPolish
Orange and white pads
PC

I am almost tempted to purchase the Flex just because I am so lazy about upkeep on my cars other than the GT-3. Thanks again.
