A: Without knowing where the rust is coming from (the racks themselves or your paint job underneath) it's difficult to answer your question. If the rust is ONLY from the racks and it’s bled onto the paint, a wax with gentle abrasives should remove the stain. However, if your roof is rusting, you have damaged your paint and have exposed the metal underneath. In this case, repainting is your only option.

A: There are products on the market that are specially designed to blacken rubber and plastics. You may want to try looking for these in your local Automotive supply store.

A: The scratches on your wheels can be covered up if they are shallow, but if polishes and waxes don't solve your problem, the damage may need to be addressed by a professional or you may need to replace them.

A: It depends on what part of the country you live in: for areas that have warm weather all year, apply every 2-3 weeks to ensure that you have maximum protection from UV. If you live in an area that has seasons, use the gel every 2-3 weeks in the summer and every 3-4 weeks during the cooler weather.

A: Pull the sticker off the paint as best you can. The glue that is left behind can be safely removed by rubbing the area with a liquid or cream wax that contains solvents and some gentle abrasives.

A: There is no way of covering up the dings in your door with auto care products, that sort of damage requires work from a body shop. The same can be said for deep scratches that have resulted in paint removal. However, for minor scratches you can use Armor All® Wax-it-Dry® gel with a slightly wet towel and finish the job with some light buffing using a dry terry cloth towel.

A: The permanent solution is to repaint your car, but if you don't mind giving it a wax job every 8 weeks, Armor All® Wax-it-Dry® gel can help hide swirl marks and provide color enhancement. This product can be applied when your car is still wet after washing so it won't involve a separate "waxing step" which makes the upkeep easier.

A: Caring for new paint is tough because depending on how old your paint job is, you can do more harm than good by applying products too early. This is especially difficult since you are working with a refinished coating and not an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) coating. Best advice would be to use nothing for at least the first 3 months after painting. I understand the need to protect your hard work but until that coating has had a chance to harden, the best you can do it spray with water and only dry with a VERY soft microfiber towel. Once your 3 month period is finished, try Armor All® Wax-it-Dry® gel. It does not contain any abrasives and it has been designed to significantly enhance the color and depth of your paint. Good luck with your project and send us pictures when you're done!

A: There is nothing more frustrating! The abrasives in the wax have become trapped within the pores of the rubber so the only way of removing it would be to re-dissolve the wax in a solvent like mineral spirits or kerosene (can be found at any Home Depot). A little rubbing alcohol can also be used. In the future, try Armor All® Wax-it-Dry® gel (doesn't contain abrasives, no white residue) because when used on a wet surface, it won't stain your rubber and plastic areas.
