Q:
I just bought a 2012 Challenger. It's black and I can't get the water spots off no matter how many times I wash, wax and detail. I want my brand new car to look brand new, not spotted! Can you help? Any suggestions? Thank you! I love your products, I just cant get rid of these spots!
A: Thank you for the inquiry and your support. Recently, we've received a lot of emails and phone calls asking about water spot clean-up. Most people probably don't realize they can easily make a cleaning solution from simple ingredients in their kitchen- there's simply no need to spend money on a product to remove water spots (unless they're really severe). Prepare a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar and either spray directly onto the surface of the car, or soak a towel and wipe down the surface. The vinegar solution breaks down the calcium build up that causes the water spots. For severe water spots, we recommend using Beyond Clay Paint Polish. You can use Beyond Clay by hand or with a machine buffer. In both cases, after the water spots have been removed, be sure to protect the surface with a good coat of wax. Barrier Reef Carnauba Wax leaves a deep, wet shine and gives your paint lasting protection.

DID YOU KNOW?
The term 'tune-up' was coined when Henry Ford was working on his first automobile prototype.
This first ignition system was very simple; one ignition coil for one spark plug, so four spark plugs would require four ignition coils. These coils needed to be adjusted to provide the same spark intensity for better idle and acceleration. As these coils worked, they made a buzzing sound. When all the coils were adjusted properly, they all buzzed at the same level - they were "in tune."

Turn Heads This Summer With Your Car's Best Beach Body 
There's nothing more American than a summer trip to the beach to catch a great tan, great surf and great times. Nowadays we know to protect ourselves with sunscreen plus lots of hydration. But have you ever thought about what happens to your ride while you're having all that fun? It's exposed to the hot sun and salty, sandy air all day long - and that can cause serious, very expensive damage to your paint. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to protect your paint and give your ride an incredible shine while you're at it. The keys are sealing your paint and then putting a protective coating on top of that. Do this at the start of beach weather and every 2-3 months thereafter. Start by washing your car with Barrier Reef® Wash & Wax. It cleans without scratching because it lays down a coat of #1 Brazilian Carnauba. Next, apply Nano Seal™ Protective Coat to seal every microscopic pore in your paint. This not only gives your paint the best possible protection from the elements and UV, but it also makes the surface more reflective - which means an even more incredible shine. Next, wax with Barrier Reef® Carnauba Wax (you can also use Barrier Reef® Hand-Blended Paste Wax or, if you're in a real hurry, Barrier Reef® Spray Wax). There is no better sacrificial layer for defending your paint than a high-Carnauba-concentration, Enthusiast Grade® wax like Barrier Reef - and you get the added benefit of a true deep gloss shine. One last tip: Each time you head to the beach, take 5 minutes beforehand and apply Hot Rod™ Protective Detailer. Hot Rod contains advanced synthetics and has super-high concentrations of UV protectants that actually last through car washes. Your ride gets the best shine plus ultimate protection against environmental damage. Sun, salt and sand are part of the fun of the beach, but they are real hazards for your car. By defending your car's paint with these Surf City Garage Enthusiast Grade® products, that paint will look as good as you do with all that sunscreen and hydration. |
Get To The Bottom Of It: The Surf City Guide To Your Tires & Wheels  As an enthusiast, you just love to shine your ride and keep your interior looking great. But whether you're doing a complete detail or just a quick one, we've found that tires and wheels are most likely to be skipped over, to be done "next time." The reasons? Concern about time, difficulty and often less-than- ideal results. That's why our Enthusiast Grade® tire and wheel products - Beyond Black® Tire Pro Dressing and Beyond Steel ® Tire & Wheel Cleaner - are fast and incredibly easy to use, all while making your tires and wheels look factory new. So whether you're doing a 2-hour or a 10-minute detail, here's all you need to do. Start by getting all the grime, oil, dirt and brake dust off your tires and wheels. Just spray on Beyond Steel, wait 30 seconds and hose off. If your wheels have particularly stubborn grime, the light use of a wheel brush will make it disappear. Now you've got a clean foundation. Let everything dry and then it's time for Beyond Black. Fact is that nothing takes a beating like tires. Plus, all tires contain petroleum, so the oil gradually leaks out over time. The oil attracts dust and grime that sticks and UV rays from the sun also make those jet black tires fade to gray. Beyond Black's Enthusiast Grade® formula is designed to penetrate your tires, not just sit on top of them the way typical tire dressings do. Its powerful UV protectants get absorbed, giving your tires long-lasting protection from the sun as well as from road grime and other environmental contaminants. With Beyond Black, your tires won't attract dust, so not only will they immediately look like new, but they'll also stay that way for weeks. Using Beyond Black is super fast and easy - just spray it on or apply using a microfiber applicator. What about your wheels? With Beyond Steel, they'll already look great. But if you've got some extra time, you can polish them up with Killer Chrome™ Perfect Polish. Ideal for all metal, including aluminum, Killer Chrome is probably the fastest metal polish anywhere. If you've got any tarnish, oxidation or surface rust - things that simply can't be washed away, Killer Chrome will safely remove them in minutes with a minimum of elbow grease. Now, whether you're ready to hit the road or the show, your ride will look like new from top to bottom. |
