oldtimer Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 While we are on the subject of clean cars, can someone recommend a product for rubber? I have restoration rubber mats for my 70 Beetle (in lieu of carpet) and the black rubs off on whatever you put on it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 oldbuckster: Thanks! I really miss that rig! It was one of the best vehicles I've owned. I wish they still made them, only with today's technology and rustproofing. ricktate: It depends: What year C-RV? What color and type paint does it have? Is it metallic clear-coat or what? Do you know if it has even been repainted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On rubber floor mats I use dilluted Simple Green. Spray it on, brush it lightly with a soft brush, wait a few moments and hose it off with plenty of clean water. I use Simple Green full strength to clean my car's tires and white letters. It'll take grease (and chewing gum) out of carpet, upholstery and clothes, too.

Mothers, or meguiars has clay bar kits, good products. For the real serious detail guys, Porter Cable dual action random speed orbital Polisher does a Killer job, NO swirls, no paint burn, a finish you could shave in, deep, deep shine. Meguiars has them in their catalog, the porter cable is the same thing, but less pricey,without the Meguiar name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I say clean the car, use a clay bar, and then use a hand polish at first. Let's not get hasty and use an orbital polisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbuckster Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 You guys, a dual action orbital polisher can in no way hurt the finish of a car, unless ,you drop it on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 unless you're very careful to make sure that no small rock or debris is on the car to cause more scratches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Years ago my two brothers got together one sunny day and use the "non-random orbital" drill to wax and buff his work van and I remember vividly the millions of swirl marks. crazy fools........[] It is amazing the deep reflective gloss a little wax can do to a vehicle.
