Let us know how you like them. :-)

Cheap SOC. is not extending the head gasket warranty unlike SOA. who extended it to 8 years or 100,000 Miles.
Cheers Pat.

Cheers Pat.
Pat has an annual ritual in which he removes the seats and door sills and covers the interior carpets in a plastic sheet. Perhaps a bit extreme, but we would expect no less from Pat knowing his love for a finely detailed car! His rides look better after 10 years than most of ours will ever look after 1....

Was juice trying to steal your XT? ;-)

BTW, just realized I put a link to another site in my previous post...not sure if its allowed when its a product rather than another forum. If I made a boo-boo, my apologies...perhaps someone could delete? Juice? (wouldn't that be ironic!)

I would try clay bar 1st....safest for the paint surface. You can also use it to remove other contaminents later on.
Paint thinner should be fine on the surface but it will certainly strip any wax. Stay away from laquer thinner, which may strip more than wax.I would soak the spots first, let sit for a few minutes, then rub gently. Otherwise you'll see fine scratches...especially on black.
Brake cleaner will take it off, but the unwanted side effect is that your paint may come off too. Read the back of the can...most brake cleaners I have come across warn against getting any of it on painted surfaces.
Good luck.
Jay.
Cheers Pat.
My stepmom's Outback was vandalized with spray paint and she got it out with nail polish remover.
That's a little harsh, I would have tried other milder methods first. But it did work for her.
Definitely wash the area thoroughly afterwards.

I had forgotten what color they were.

After a full wash, some touch up with Klasse AIO and a spray down with Sonus Acrylic Spray it's back to it's normal happy sparkling self. I also broke out the vaccum and cleaned out the interior getting all the little cracker crumbs my daughter has left behind.
I was also getting a bit of Rain-X buildup from wiper use so I polished down the windshield using Rain-X window polish. It's definetly worth doing once in a blue moon to remove the gunk one can't see from glass. The glass now is slippery smooth.

I've found french fries and entire cookies/crackers under the seats.

I was surprised at how well the Klasse AIO cleaned glass. On my rear side window, I had a smudge of something that had been there since I took delivery last summer. I tried everything from window cleaner to Rain-X Glass Cleaner to remove it and had concluded it was a manufacturing flaw. While I was applying Klasse today, some of it got on the window, so I figured "what the heck" and polished the glass.
Not only did the smudge go away but my windows are smooth and clean!

BTW, I couldn't see the pic in that link, likely because I'm not registered at LGT

Thing is, if I wash it today, it'll be yellow again tomorrow.
This is the worst time of year for car cleanliness! :sick:

I'm trying Imagestation as another source. Hopefully more people will be able to see it now.
Brian: Does AIO work as well as Rain-X in rolling off raindrops from the windshield? I was tempted to just keep going with AIO, but wasn't sure if it would cause streaking of chattering.

I'm going back to Rain-X for the next application.

I haven't had any issues with AIO causing chattering on the glass. I do agree it isn't as slippery as Rain-X, but it does a well enough at least so far.

I've tried the following to no avail: bug & tar remover, pre-wax cleaner, Meguiars No.5 glaze, Windex, wax, clay, and kitchen cleaner with bleach. :sick:
Any thoughts, suggestions, opinions, recommendations, etc.?
Jim
You forgot step #1.
1. Move the car.
2. Chop trees down.

-Frank
That stuff is HARSH, though, so be extremely careful if you try it, and absolutely wash the area thoroughly afterwards, too.
I would have thought that bug and tar remover would've done it.
-juice
I can't find the yellow spots anymore! I think the sun has bleached away the stain. :shades:
Swampy: I'd chop down the trees but they're at my workplace.
Jim
Best of luck.

Forecast is actually calling for rain for the next 4 days! Figures....
