I didnt have much time to search so I needed to make a thread, sorry.

On the rear near the trunk I see small rust spots? How can I remove these? With a clay bar?

My dash has sort of a hazy whitish look to it from using crappy armoral and other cheap interior cleaners. What is a good way to remove that and restore to a deep smooth black look?

I have a steamer for clothes, ya know you steam the shirt and it gets the wrinkles out...Is there anyway I can use this to steam clean my carpet. IE use it and follow up with vac?

How can you clean the old looking rubber trim up? Not just using back to black but really cleaning all stuff off the top layer...

Without a buffer whats the best methond for removing wax?

Thanks

rUST SPOTS ON TOP OF THE PAINT? Not a rusting panel right?

Clay then polish... A cleaner wax may also do the trick. And a buffer is not needed to remove wax. Alot of guys around here do that step by hand using a microfiber towel or two. If you apply the correct amount and let it set in the right amount of time, it will come off pretty easily.....

Check out Autogeek.net for how-to videos.......

Use a dedicated interior cleaning product or a solution of Woolite in water. Do a search here or on Autopia.org to find a recommended dilution ratio.

Apply the wax thinly. It will be easily removed with a microfiber towel.
