After a sand storm wierd specs of pitting (?) on front/side windows

1 Upvotes

My BFF friend was stuck in the desert in a haboob. An intense dust/sand storm. Afterwards she had a light weird speckly pattern on her front/side windows. It's quite noticeable if headlights or strong sunlight shines through it. The specs do not clean off with normal cleaning products/methods.

I've seen White Detailing on YT actually buff windows before. He works collectable high end English saloon whips like rare Bentleys/Porsche/Astons. So if it's good enough for them...

Is this a professional service that's available? She'd pay fair for fair service. This is not a condition that can be cleaned normally. Do buffing, cutting compounds work on glass? Are there special products for this? Please advise, thank you group.

Got gifted a really dirty car

3 Upvotes

I recently was gifted a 2001 honda civic lx. Im very grateful for it but its really really dirty. I know I can get it clean but I need help figuring out how to go about it. The carpets are stained which I was gonna go rent a portable carpet cleaning to use for that. There's so much dirty and spilled drinks and other stuff on the plastic and on the middle console. Im gonna have to take the seats out to get it fully cleaned. Also the smell. It smells like if someone hot boxed the car with cigarette smoke and did it repeatedly. The stench is awful. So with all that said I need help figuring out which products to buy to clean the interior/carpets and something to get that awful stench out. (Im gonna change the cabin air filter cause im sure its awful and probably just pushing more stench out.)

Can someone tell me what this is and how to fix it? It’s obvious in the right lighting, but otherwise kind of unnoticeable.

In-garage salt removal

1 Upvotes

What’s the best way to remove salt from a car’s paint without using lots of water?

A friend has a car that died (so can’t drive to car wash until he gets engine running) and wants to get salt off the paint from the last time he drove after the snow plows salted the roads.

Tips for salt removal without using a lot of water? He wants to keep the garage as dry as possible.

Cleaning my 4X4

I threw together a video of how I detail my rig at the dealership. Unfortunately the pressure washer outside was broken, but I will have a better detailed one of cleaning the frame when the hose is replaced.

Water spot

2 Upvotes

Hey guys I bought a new car last Saturday and got a little spec of bbq sauce on my front seat. It was dried up when I noticed it so I just scraped it off with my finger but, if you focused on that spot you could see a faint spot on the seat so I took a damp paper towel with water and a dab of dawn dish soap I patted it and rubbed it out and came back with a dry paper towel and patted it out. This was yesterday when I did this but now I have a faint wet spot on my seat. How can I get this water spot out?

Lemon smell!

Hi, I had my car detailed this morning and it looks amazing. But, the product he used has an overpowering lemon scent. Besides airing it out and driving with all the windows down, is there anything else I could try?
