Remove Paint From Windshield

Remove Paint From Windshield %

My car was just painted and I have overspray on my windshield. What’s the best way to remove this. I tried using paint center with a towel but it just doesn’t cut it. What can a person use to remove paint from glass?

Answer:

The best thing to use is a razor blade. Razor blades cannot harm glass so you literally get everything off of it. That’s why when you go to a really good car wash they use razor blades to clean your windshield. You some of that paint thinner and use a razor blade in you’ll be set to go.

Oxidized Wheels Rims

Oxidized Wheels Rims %

I have a classic car sitting in storage that I bring to car shows a couple times a year. Long story short, the wheels are becoming oxidized. This oxidation on the rims and wheels is becoming a cosmetic problem. I need to fix the issue.

What can I do to get rid of this oxidation on the rims? I’ve been looking through some books on the process of oxidation, and I just can’t find anything. What can I do here?

Messy Garage Question

Messy Garage Question %

My garage is always super messy and I need to know why that it is. It is quite obvious that its from me myself. I guess I’m looking for more of an answer as to why I do that or am that way? There needs to be some sort of an answer as to why I am a messy person when it comes to my garage.

I have thought about making rules and fixing up the place so there is more garage shelving and what not. I am always working on cars so the tools are always getting moved and used and what not.

Clean Rims How To

Clean Rims How To %

I need to find a good way to clean my new rims on by car. I have a Honda civic with chrome shoes. I just got them a couple of weeks ago and I need a good way to clean them so they don’t Peel on me later down the road.

Answer

Depending on what type of dirty your talking about, depends on what style you should clean them. We have found what works the best is to use a long dash cleaner.

It will look like a stick with a long puffy fur like features. It works the best. Use it on a daily schedule and your rims will keep up their great look.
