Customer Review :
Clears up polycarbonate head lamps
This worked great. The headlights on my Honda Civic were turning opaque resulting in poor visibility at night. I read about the product in Trailer Life magazine which prompted me to give it a try. It only took me 1 hour to do both headlights and they came out like new. If you have problems with your polycarbonate head lamps turning opaque then I highly recommend this product.

My reaction O.O!
Obviously your not going to get a brand new headlight unit with this product, but you can probably sell your headlights on eBay in condition as VERY GOOD!!!
I don't think there is a product out there that can restore your head lights to brand new condition...at least that is what I am getting from other reviews that complained about that issue.
I HIGHLY recommend this product.
Consider spending 16 dollars before trashing your old head lights or even selling them on eBay in the condition it is. You wont regret it.

a nice surprise
I bought this on a whim hoping that it would make a difference! My headlights were completely foggy and you could barely see them. When we finished I could not believe the difference, this is awesome for the price and works!!!!

Headlight Restoration is a SUCCESS.....
I have added a picture to the product page to show the results of the product. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to remove any yellowing/oxidation from the vehicles headlights. It will improve night time visibility, as well the vehicles appearance. Just make sure you follow the instructions by the tee, if reading is a problem for you then go their website [...] and watch the video. Purchase additional kits for extreme yellowing. I found that I used the 3 pads ( sandpaper P800/p500) per headlight to get the results shown on the product page.

Restored the unrestorable
I used this product on a 15 year old vehicle with fogged over, yellow headlights (it was originally clear and white). The instructions are in color and extremely detailed so that you will not miss any step in the process. It was easy to use and took about 30 minutes per headlight. One important bit of advice: make sure you do have a drill that is 1200-1600 rpm so that it works properly, anything less would not be enough; and anything more would be too much.
There is nothing bad to say, it works and works well.

Customer Review :
Durable, quality product
This is a very durably built nozzle, with great thick rubber group and a spin that feels really smooth & solid. I can imagine this thing lasting for years. The only drawback I find is that for those who turn it on and off frequently, there is a decent amount of friction involved in turning all the way off to all the way on, so it's not as quick to use as a trigger shot.
Rating :    
Bon Aire Hose Nozzle
I heard great things about this nozzle so I am trying it out. Used it only once and it is great. Easy to use and the water doesn't drip around the connections. Bought some for others too.

Bon-Aire Hose Nozzle
Absolutely the finest hose nozzle ever offered. I saw a live demonstration of this product at a trade show. The cost was almost double of what Amazon has to offer on the exact same product.Bon-Aire Original Ultimate Hose Nozzle (Aluminum)

Great Nozzle
I love keeping my car clean, so I'm always washing my car. I used to use a cheap metal one with a trigger for years, but it was getting a little beat up and I always had to watch that I don't scratch my car with it or drop it and spray myself. With this nozzle, I don't have to worry about either. I love that it turns off in both directions. It seems very solid and should last a very long time. It doesn't quite spray 40'. I guess it depends on the pressure from your hose bib. I do sometimes miss the trigger because you have to use two hands to turn on and off, but that is a minor inconvenience considering all its advantages.
Rating :     
FANTASTIC
I run a dog boarding business out of my home. I have been searching for a hose nozzle that is very powerful and the Bon-Aire Ultimate is the best I have ever used. The powerful spray gets my job done faster than ever. I bought 2 but realize I need another. My handy man used it to wash the car and he loved it as well. I can't wait to wash the dogs with it when the weather warms up. It took me three months to make a decision to buy these and I am not disappointed at all. I recommend this product, don't waste time thinking about it you won't be disappointed either! Thank you for the helpful reviews! Inlet Professional Pet Granna

Editorial Review :
Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber produces amazing mirror-like shine on all finishes. The thick, deep, dual-sided microfiber pile has three time more absorbency than traditional terry towels, and safety edging eliminates the possibility of scratching. It's prewashed for maximum absorbency and is safe with clear coats.
Customer Review :
Amazing..
I have tried so many microfiber towels when drying my car or removing the wax and finally found these. They are worlds ahead of any towel I have ever used. They suck up the water faster than those "shammy" towels that are supposed to hold tons of water, which really surprised me. They also leave my car so shiny after it is dry--it is like I spent hours detailing my car when it was only minutes. You must buy them. It only takes about 3-4 of these towels to completely dry my car so a little goes a long way. Worth every penny.
Make sure not to over-dry them and don't use fabric softener or sheets, it will affect how much/fast they absorb.
Rating :     
Good stuff, but never has a chance to use
Come with some car wash kit, however, the was kit bottles broke, and this towel was contaminated. Never has a chance to use it.
Rating :  
Good, but wash before initial use.
As with any brand new micro fiber towel, if you are drying your car, you'll notice "lint" left behind after you wipe. They won't hold much water either, I have a MINI Cooper and I was constantly squeezing water off the towel to keep drying the car, and even then, I had to use a second one to get rid of streaks. Word of advice, don't use these to clean glass, it was a nightmare for me, I had to redo my windows with Invisible Glass and regular paper towels. They did however, work great for waxing, I was able to wipe off dried wax with no problems.

Meguiar's quality
Puchased for Automotive and Motorcycle cleaning. A great product at a real good price. Perfect when you just want to wipe off a few smudges, or light dust, or use for drying towel.

A far better microfiber cloth than others I have used in the past, they are big.

Editorial Review :
Quixx Paint Scratch Remover permanently removes scuffs, scrapes and scratches from all paint surfaces. TUV certified.
Customer Review :
Lived Up to its Claim
I am a very picky person and as a 25 year purchasing director, I problably require much more persuasion based upon fact or credible supporting references to sway my opinion. I received the first scratches on my new black car the third day I owned it. Needless to say, it irritated me everytime I looked at my otherwise great looking car. The scratches would almost draw me to them, so finally, I felt I had to stop driving myself crazy and was compelled to find a way to resolve it (the scratches) without going to a body shop or guessing what product at pep boys or the dealership may work. This product (Quixx Paint Scratch Remover) actually was easier to use than the instructions explained and performed at the level it made in its claims. I had several deep scratches (metal shown) that this product blended seamlessly and quickly. The final polish step provided that closing bit of confidence that the repaired area was now sealed. The product worked so well and easily that I started looking for scratches on my wife's car. The only suggestion I have is to make this product available in a larger format (more contents and support pieces# for those that are now believers, can have a provisional amount available for future use. I saw a separate website for a 5 step product that I felt utilized this same or similar process with similar chemicals or formulations#but it had a few more steps and I am not overly mechanically inclined nor felt like spending an hour learning the process (correctly or errantly#. That said, I also did not feel like spending a $100+ dollars on speculation. The Quixx product positioned itself at a price point worth taking a chance. It absolutely satisfied what I needed at 1/6th the price point. I do not know what other variables may make this product work or not work for others #age or type of paint, cleanliness of area being repaired.....)all I know is it worked well for me.

Doesn't Work as advertised
I tried the product. I have very minor scratch and it did not remove it. I wouldn't waste your money.
Rating :  
Works very well!
This product works very well. The scratches that were in my car were quite deep on the hood, but the 2 step process made it nearly imperceptable - at first. After a few car washes, it has come back a little, but I am still impressed as to how much it reduced the severity of the scratch. I suppose I could try sanding it, but that is a scary proposition.
Rating :    
great for shallow scratches
The product worked great on very shallow surface scratches. I had 1 deeper scratch which I did not attempt to buff out with the very fine sandpaper they provided.
Rating :    
The best in the market.
If your looking for an easy scratch off from your side door,hood.This is the best product ever.We all dread coming back from shopping or groceries and notice that scratch from your door.I notice that immediately when I came up to open the door.I find it inconsiderate,disrespectful,and bad upbringing to those people who does'nt respect other peoples belonging.well,anyway Quixx did the job,got rid of the scratch with the repair #1 (tube) and mirror like finnish with #2 (tube).This product does'nt hide the scratch like most other brand,it actually gets rids off it.Very easy to use.Just follow the enclose instructions.There are some scratches that needed a little more applications then other,but it got rid of it.I save $100 dollars to some detail shop that he was charging.It got rid rid the swirls,rake scratch (people passing by to close).Through my experience...never take your car to a car wash,"turn off engine let the big turning brush does the work",ya right,more scratches then you can count,Do your yourself a favor and your car's finnish...just do it by hand.

Editorial Review :
Zwipes microfiber is a great new technology, with many applications that includes your automobile, boat, RV or motorcycle. Cleaning with microfiber products is fast, easy and environmentally friendly. It is sometimes described as having a magnetic attraction to dirt and dust. Zwipes products attract and instantly remove dust like a magnet. From Glass, stainless steel, chrome, paint, plastic, and wood you can clean with a simple rubbing motion. The miraculous fiber eliminates the need for cleaning solutions. Microfiber contains over 90,000 fibers per square inch, and is the softest and thickest of all microfibers. It is especially effective for trapping particles with static electricity, thus eliminating the need for cleaners and detergents. It is designed to adhere to a surface, literally clinging to grease, oils and film. Each cleaning cloth measures 12" x16". Perfect for the garage and even in the kitchen.
Customer Review :
Just OK
In my opinion, these microfiber cloths are only just OK. When I opened the package, I found bits of lint stuck all over them, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, and I was distributing the lint wherever I wiped with the cloths. The quality is also just so-so: they are not very thick and not all that soft either, but they're sufficient for wiping things down. While I'm not as happy with the cloths as other reviewers may be, the price is great for the amount you receive. However I genuinely don't think they are as amazing as many have made them out to be, and while I will continue to use them in an effort to decrease my paper towel usage, I definitely will not be buying anymore of these in the future.

Zwipes
Super absorbent. Great size. Very soft. I use them almost daily and wash them as much. A couple seem to be wearing out so I will have to wait and see on the durability side. Overall I like the product an if they are durable enough for my needs I will gladly continue to buy and use them.
Rating :    
Even Vince from Sham-wow prefers them!
I'm not sure if praising cleaning towels means having Manly Points deducted, but these little towels are amazing. Extremely versatile, they can be used for everything from washing the car without risking micro scratches on the paint to washing dishes. They're reusable, of course, so make much more sense than wasteful paper towels. Microfiber cloth is electrostatic by nature and so attracts dust like a magnet. Their design also allows them to be effective in removing many types of dirt without the use of any additional chemicals making them safer for use especially with households that have infants and children or persons with allergies or hypersensitivity to chemicals. They're more absorbent than a sponge and since you're more likely to toss them in the washing machine than a kitchen sponge, they're much more sanitary, since the kitchen sponge is said to be the most germ infested location in the entire house. Even the multiple colors they arrive in is a plus if you want to designate one color for car use, one for kitchen only and one for misc. cleaning. As with any fabric product, it's always a good idea to do an initial laundering before using them to dry or clean anything food or kitchen related. Don't use fabric softener, though, when washing them as the oils in those products will clog the microfibers and reduce the cloth's effectiveness. It might be noted that microfiber is made from synthetic materials that are petrochemical based and so are not biodegradable and can emit toxins when burned. Also, towels used on sensitive surfaces like your car's paint, should kept separate for that use only, since other applications might embed particles in the fibers and make micro-scratches more likely. This is one high tech product that really makes many low tech chores a lot easier and more effective.

Great Cleaning Cloths
These are great cleaning cloths. They are more absorbent (which I like) than other micro-fiber cloths that I've tried and they don't leave any lint. There are a great deal.

Question : What is a good car care center to get your car maintenance done? Is Meineke a good and reliable place?
have you been to Meineke? what was your experience there? What about other places like Avis Lube, Jiffy Lube?thanks
Answer:
Might look for a local gas station garage whom has been there for quite awhile. These usually have customers whom will not go to anyone else to have their service done. These people generally treat you like a good friend and will let you know what should be done now and what you may need in the future, say they do the tire rotation and balance for you and notice that your brakes are getting thin but not at the point that you have to change them today, they will say that maybe next time you come in for your next service that you might want to think about getting the brakes done at the same time. In my experience most shops like Meineke, Jiffy Lube, don't really car about the customer and will try to push for unnecessary work to line their pocket books.I agree with Frank for I am an independent mechanic.
