Anyone have an idea how to get rid off some paint stains from black leather seats and plastic (stains are white)? There is really annoying spots here and there inside of the car.. small ones but still. Last owner was a painter or something i think.
question on pad sizes. I have the Griots Garage 6" buffer, and they sell a conversion kit to go down to 5", but what about 4.5" pads? Or do I just need to get a smaller buffer if I want to use 4.5" pads?

Hello,
I have purchased a 2013 CPO 335i sportline with black chrome exhaust tips.
They look burned out and powdered soot.
So a question is how do clean them?
Also any ideas on a clean or neutral air freshner?
Many Thanks,
Rafael
Hello Guys I want to clean my engine bay like this one in the picture, I just wanted to know what needs to be covered before washing the engine with water, or is there another alternative to water that will be just as effective. I have a BMW e92 coupe ; if you can circle the areas that need to be covered with a Plastic bag, aluminum foil or saran wrap. PLEASE let me know ASAP I just got the valve cover gasket changed and need the excess oil out of my engine as it is smoking. Thank you. 4962532234_aaa0442361_b.jpg

Can you guys make a recommendation for a nano tech wheel coating? There are so many wheel sealants out there, (wheel wax, ammo nyc gelee, etc) but it appears that they only last a few weeks much like a coat of wax.
I am interested in a true coating that can be applied once and last at least a year. This is for new BBS wheels that are difficult to clean. Thanks!
I have dark green oil stains on the headers of my M42 E30, they (as far as I know) are just aluminum. Any idea how to get these out? Low power APC and a pressure washer isnt doing it.
This guide describes which electrical components need to be covered with plastic before you clean the engine bay. If you don't want to use water, wiping it by hand with a cleaner and a rag would be a start.

I use a scent diffuser that plugs into the cigarette lighter. You just put a few drops of essential oil or fragrance oil on the pad inside the diffuser and the scent lasts for a few hours.
Welcome, this is a machine capable of orbital polishing off the "hard water spots" or is a necessary camera? You can introduce a computer, pad, and the polish for this application. Clay bars and hand polishing is not cutting it
is there a good way to clean the aluminium valve cover and intake without removing them
Anybody know how to get black plastic back to normal after acetone as got on it and made it go white 😡😡😡 cheers 👍🏻
Could someone make a recommendation for wheels with painted centers and polished aluminum lips? If I use something to clean the painted centers, the lips become hazy and I'd be worried about using something too corrosive on the lips that it would harm the paint. In the past I have used Meguairs Wheel & Tire cleaner, with Autosol on the lips. I'm looking for something I can use to clean the centers and polish the lips that will last much longer.
Also, how would one go about cleaning the engine bay and the plastic in the engine bay? Can I use the same dressing as I use on my exterior trim? It however is quite creasy and needs to cure in the sunlight. I can't remember the brand, but it comes in a black container. Thanks!

Need advice on fixing a spot of discoloration on my E39 sport seat. My seats are in great condition and I heard great reviews about using Leatherique pristine clean and rejuvenator. I bought the products and used as directed. When I was using the pristine clean after the rejuvenator I had a little spot of dirt on my seat. I used a Tampco brush with a spray of pristine clean to remove it. When I did it took the dye off of the leather.
My seats have never been damaged or dyed. I was stunned that this highly regarded product damaged my seat! I was not applying hard pressure with the brush?
Any advice on how to remedy the problem is appreciated. I don't want to screw around with it myself without advice and make it worse.
Appreciate you help.

My car has PPF and ceramic coating, what type of snow brush should I use for our upcoming winter? I'm in Canada.

I want to take the soft-top off from my 1984 Baur, but I don't kno how!!!
I’ve been looking around for a little while and I noticed there are no e46 330xi short throw shifters for the 5 speed. I was wondering if the 330i shifter would be the same fit for the 330xi and if not is it possible to get a 330xi short throw shifter.
I park my X1 under a car port. It is protected from the sun except the front grill and some of the hood. What is the best way to protect the paint from the sun? I dont want to use a bra. I was told just place a large terry cloth towel on the front when it is parked...
