Default where to start?

ok i have tons of questions so ill get right to it.

1. i have blue vinyl stripes on my stang and theyare starting to look dull and get horrible water spots, what is the best wax to use on them? Im not sure if using regular car wax would be good on them or not.

2. My stang is white and i'm noticing that there are alot of like orange and other assorted colored dots...(very very tiny) does anyone else have that problem with a white car?? If so how do i get rid of them, just by waxing??

LAST QUESTION PROMISE

3. So the state recently decided it would be a good idea to re-pave all the roads around my house so every time i drive my car i get tar "strings" down the side of my car... what is the easiest way to get rid of them, my dad said use charcoal starter [&:]. not so sure that one is a good idea.


*plus where can i buy all this stuff? just like walmart or pepboys????*

I carry everything you need for your situation.

1. Poorboy's Pro Polish will work great on your vinyl stripes, it will clean them up and take those waterspots off. It is completely safe on them. Then just top with a wax or sealant. For white I would do a sealant like Poorboy's EX-P pure sealant. It will really make your white paint "Pop".

2. The orange dots you are seeing is railroad dust from when your car was shipped. They show up more on white vehicles. It is actually tiny rust spots. Claybarring will remove all of those contaminants from the paint.

3. For the tar problem Stoner Tarminator works awesome, you can also use WD-40 to help take it off.
