MY '57 CHEVY!

2009-05-30T11:28:00.005+08:00

I just found a great picture of a '57 Chevy Bel Air Convertable, just like mine! I've been looking for a good picture for quite some time now.

My Chevy had power windows, power brakes (both limited to only 200 original cars) Silver and Red Vinyl seats and a white Vinyl top. I used Vinylex to keep the vinyl seats from cracking and peeling (they were ORIGINAL!) and also used Vinylex to keep the white "ragtop" clean and pliable so I could drop it in the summer! I used the KozaK Auto DryWash Cloth to keep her sparkling clean before every parade! This car was a favorite on the 4th of July!

When I first got her, I ran out of gas on the highway. The gas gauge was stuck on full... but the tank was empty! I could not find the filler cap. It was hidden behind the chrome trim on the left rear fin! Fortunately, a passing motorist remembered where it was!

1937 Plymouth Coupe

2009-05-30T11:20:00.003+08:00

I used to own a beautiful 1937 Plymouth Coupe, very much like this one. Mine was dark Green, with very dark green wool uphulstry and headliner. It had an electric starter, that you had to press down hard with your foot to get the engine to turn over.

My Coupe had a "Rumble Seat" in the back, which was a fold out seat that would let you sit outside, above the trunk in the fresh air!

Naturally, I would polish this beauty with a KozaK every time I took her out for a ride or a parade!

BMW M5 - A SATISFIED LEXOL USER!

2009-02-25T10:37:00.002+08:00

Lexol will keep your leather looking great... simply, easily, and inexpensively. No more cracking or peeling!

This gentleman has a 1993 Silver BMW M5, with black leather interior. Here is what he has to say about Lexol:

"Tried this out on my leather last night and WOW! Completely rejuvinated my seats! The usual areas on the driver's seat with wear, fading and even some slight cracking looks nearly new again!. The stuff comes in 2 parts, a cleaner and a conditioner. Just had time to do the one seat last night but I will be doing to whole car this weekend. Nothing better than a BMW with a well maintained leather interior.....when I haven't been in my car for a while and get back in the smell that greets me is in itself an experience worth waiting for!

VINYLEX VINYL PROTECTANT: A very easy and inexpensive way to renew and protect all your Vinyl furniture and car interiors

2009-02-23T11:14:00.006+08:00

Don't waste money repairing or replacing your Vinyl furniture or car interior.

Protect your furniture or car interior from peeling, cracking and drying out.

VINYLEX is the inexpensive solution to your Vinyl problems, and it will NEVER leave your vinyl looking or feeling oily, greasy, slippery or shiny. It doesnt change the way your vinyl looks or feels like the other products on the market.

Vinylex is made in the USA and has been used and trusted for over 50 years!

Here is what some users have said recently about Vinylex:

"Bumper Protection: I've been looking for a spray on bumper protection for my new Toyota Prius car. I had wanted something that would protect my bumper and vinyl strip from fading as well as from the dust and dirt that comes from driving on dirt roads. Vinylex has a UV protection factor built in the material. It does go on very easy and a little does goes a long way. Only time will tell as of the effectiveness of this spray. "

"Great cleaner and protector! I used this product on my BMW leatherette interior and rubber surfaces onthe exterior. Also works with plastic under the hood too! Used with a lint free micro fiber cloth and brush (for seats) you can get superior results for little money. I also used it detailing my wife's woefully neglected SAAB right before a trade-in estimate and made the card look worth much more than a previous estiamte. This stuff is a must own if you want your car looking great. And one more good thing is that I keep it in my car's trunk all summer and the heat doesn't appear to spoil the Vinylex's effectiveness."

"Great Stuff! I keep cars for a long time. My current vehicle is 10 years old, and I've always used Vinylex on it. The vinyl dashboard really looks as good as new. I used a popular silicon based product on the car I had before this one, and the vinyl on the dashboard cracked after five or six years. Like the other reviewer said - Vinylex does not contain silicon."

"Works great on the dash and bumpers! I bought Lexol Vinylex because I saw it mentioned on a Subaru owners chat room. I found that it did put my dash back to the way it looked and felt when I drove it away from the showroom. I did the black bumpers on my Subaru Forester and my neighbor, who has a classic car, came over and ask me what I used. It is supposed to keep the plastic/vinyl from cracking. I haven't thrown away my Armor-all yet, but I am very impressed with Vinylex and I will keep using it. I give this product five stars."

"Great Product - hard to find! I've used this product for years. I stay with it because it offers non-silicone protection (I understand silicone can promote dash cracking with age), non-greasy touch (nice for not slipping off the steering wheel), and a non-glossy look the to dash. Non-glossy means it won't collect dust the way most shiny products will. It has UV protection. Just try it."

You can learn more about Vinylex at: www.lexolasia.com and purchase it there if you want to. They ship the same day your order is received also so you will have the product within 24-48 hours!

Why use the KozaK Cloth? What is it all about?

2009-02-16T14:24:00.004+08:00

I get a lot of questions about the KozaK Cloth from customers and maybe this is a good chance to answer them...

What can the KozaK Cloth do for me?

It can clean and polish your car, or fine lacquered furniture, piano, mirrors, chrome, glass without water and without scratching.
Use it for dusting, cleaning and polishing almost everything in your home.

Why is it so popular?

Because it is easy to use, inexpensive, lasts over a year, and will remove all the dirt and dust from your car or furniture quickly and safely.
In your home,it will trap the dust when you dust your furniture, rather than letting it float back into the air.

How much money will it save me?

In Singapore, the average user will save about $300 to $400 a year just on car washes alone (estimating each wash costs $6.00).

Will it scratch my car or my furniture?

The KozaK will NEVER scratch your car or furniture.
It is made in the USA, and has been sold since 1926. Almost 83 years! If it scratched cars or furniture, KozaK would have been out of business 80 years ago!

Why is it different?

The KozaK cloth is made of 100% soft, all American cotton.
It is extremely thick, plush with billions of fibers that trap all the dirt and dust inside the cloth and away from the car or furniture.
The exclusive KozaK formula attracts dirt like a magnet

Isn't Micro-Fiber softer and cheaper?

Micro-Fiber cloths feel soft, but they are made in China out of plastic.
The dirt and dust stay on the surface of the micro-fiber cloth.
When you wipe the car or your furniture you are actually rubbing the dirt back into the surface you're cleaning. That scratches and creates swirls.
The KozaK cloth is woven from soft cotton and is made in the USA. It will NEVER scratch anything.
Initially it costs a little bit more, but it lasts for a year or more, and does not scratch.

Where do I get one?

Thought you would never ask! Go to www.kozakasia.com
They ship to you the very same day they receive your order

Do I get a discount?

YES... you save 20% by ordering online, and entering discount code G A B A L X

Is there a guarantee? Can I get my money back if it doesnt work?

YES! They have a 10 day unconditional, no hassle money back guarantee! Return the KozaK and you get your money back! Cheerfully! No Hassles!

Can I see it work?

Of course. Here is our instructional video. Watch the dirt come right off my best friend's dirty car!

SPLOTCHY RUBBER TRIM? - Fix with VINYLEX!

2009-02-05T12:08:00.005+08:00

I personally have not had a problem in any of my cars with my rubber trim strips getting spotted or splotchy, but this gentleman has, and he used VINYLEX VINYL PROTECTANT to fix it.... from "Detailing Bliss Forum"

"Splotchy rubber trim?
Hi, noob here. I have a MB C350 that I recently sent through an auto car wash, and my black rubber seals around the windows turned splotchy. Water, onr, laundry detergent, vegetable oil all didn't work. Wondering if experts can first tell me why it turned mottled, and second how to get rid of it. I'm thinking of trying 303, but not sure if that will work. Thanks in advance for the advice. "

The response: "Try Lexol Vinylex.I recently did a 2002 Dodge Ram with black plastic mirror housings. Stoner Trim Shine - my usual "go to" for black plastic - left it looking all splotchy. Vinylex fixed it right up.It's one of my favorite products, and one that I've been using for many years. Less expensive than 303, and easier to find."

I know, that I used Vinylex all the time to keep my rubber seals and gaskets in good condition on my antique cars. It really keeps the rubber conditioned and pliable, and prevents the rubber from cracking, without making it look shiny or oily feeling.

Give it a try!

VINYL CARE: How to keep your car's interior from cracking and peeling

2009-02-02T13:12:00.006+08:00

Vinyl interiors are very different than leather. They react differently to extremes in temperature, humidity and sunlight.

If not cared for properly, the vinyl will dry out, crack and peel. As you may know, that can be very expensive!

Fortunately, there is a very simple way to clean and protect and condition all of your vinyl... from the dashboard, to vinyl handles and seats.

VINYLEX VINYL PROTECTANT, made by the same people that make LEXOL Leather products, will safely, easily and inexpensively clean, condition and protect your vinyl.

Just spray a little bit onto a cloth and gently apply it to the vinyl. Wait a few minutes, because unlike any other product on the market, VINYLEX will actually penetrate into the plastic. (It also contains a very effective DH-60 sunscreen which filters out the harmful UV rays to protect your plastic from environmental degredation.) Then, just gently wipe it off. Your vinyl will look beautifully refreshed and new again!

VINYLEX WILL NEVER MAKE YOUR VINYL LOOK OR FEEL OILY, GREASY OR SHINY!

Unlike other brand products, VINYLEX does not just coat the surface with an oily slippery coating... VINYLEX penetrates into the vinyl.

See what the VINYL CARE Blogspot has to say about VINYLEX:

http://ivnylcare.blogspot.com/2009/01/vinylex-1215-protectant-spray-169-oz.html

Manufacturer: VinylexModel: 1215Part Number: 1215

Features: Patented liquid that cleans and protects vinyl, rubber and plastic

Reduces bloom- a discoloration from dirt associated with other protectants
DH60 UV sunscreen blocks UV rays

Low gloss finish for use on cars, boats, planes, motorcycles and household items

Vinylex gently cleans, conditions, protects and renews vinyl, rubber and plastic without leaving an excessively greasy look or feel.

DH-60 Ultraviolet Sunscreen, one of the strongest on the market, protects against fading, cracking or drying caused by age, environmental pollution and the suns ultraviolet rays.

Apply with a Lexol Applicator Sponge or soft, 100% cotton cloth, allow to penetrate the vinyl for 10-15 minutes and then buff off the excess with another soft, 100% cotton cloth.

Leaves a satin finish without greasiness and does not contain raw silicone oil. The lowest sheen product we have found. Our favorite vinyl protectant."

LEXOL LEATHER CLEANER and LEXOL LEATHER CONDITIONER

2009-02-02T12:44:00.006+08:00

Leather seats require a little bit of care... note that I say a little bit..after all, the title of my blog is "no sweat" car care, and I mean that! I don't like to work up a sweat!

If you've been following my blog, you know that I really like the LEXOL brand of Leather Cleaner, and their Leather Conditioner. I have used them for years (almost 35 I believe), and have also compared them to many other products on the market, sometimes even doing a side by side comparison.

Most of the other products coat the leather. Very few will first, foam out the dirt from the pores, which is important. leather is like your skin, and you cannot rub the dirt into the leather. You need to gently remove it, and Lexol Leather Cleaner does just that with its gentle but effective foaming action. It's also pH balanced to the pH of leather so it does not dry or otherwise injure the leather.

Then, I follow the cleaning with a thin coat of Lexol Leather Conditioner, while the leather is still moist from the cleaner. It is absorbed right into the leather, and it's formulation actually bonds with the leather fibers to strengthen, condition and soften them. It replaces the oils that were originally added to the leather in the tanning process, but DOES NOT make your leather feel greasy or oily or slippery.

And, this is where LEXOL beats the competition hands down! Lexol penetrates into the leather... most of the other products "dress up" the leather. They surface coat it, which does nothing to prevent cracking, drying, creasing or eliminate that stiff feeling. Most other products make the leather shiny, slippery or oily feeling. I HATE THAT! I hate stopping at a traffic light and sliding in my seat!

LEXOL simply restores the leather to its like new, original condition. When I do a side by side comparison, the difference is really startling!

Here is what another, fellow blogger has to say: from the "Learning Curve" Blog http://dnolearningcurveyt.blogspot.com/

"Could you suggest a good leather seat treatment for cleaning and keeping it soft and supple? Thanks. Ron? - Lincoln town car leather seat oem "

Could you recommend a benign leather seat treatment for cleaning and keeping it soft and supple? Thanks. Ron? The leather seats are not worn much, but are getting hard and may collapse if I don't treat them soon. Age is part of the problem as this is a 1971 Lincoln Town Car. Perhaps one of you could recommend a brand of leather treatment and cleaner.

ANS: LEXOL first use the leather cleaner then follow up with the conditioner both made by LEXOL.They have to be bought separately,unexcelled stuff on the market no doubt. cleaner- comes in a orange spay bottle. conditioner- comes in a mousy spray bottle. Can be bought at most auto parts stores. "

I used LEXOL on my 1971 Roll Royce Silver Shadow. My seats were just like his, dry, brittle, cracking. I had to apply a thin coat of Lexol Leather Conditioner each day for about a week. BUT... after a week the seats were supple again! Lexol will not repair the cracks that have already occurred, but it will re-condition and soften the leather and prevent further deterioration.

Many of us use "social networking" to get our idea or product positioned but lack the tools to really "mine" or "drill down" and see what people are actually saying and blogging about us online.

Brandtology (www.brandtology.com) and JamiQ (www.jamiQ.com) or their blog at http://blog.jamiq.com/ will enlighten you.

COLLECTIBLE OAKLEY SUNGLASSES

2009-01-27T17:10:00.003+08:00

I love Oakley sunglasses... they are always cutting edge, and are probably the finest lenses and frames you can find anywhere. They're tints are just incredible. They block out the burning rays and enhance your vision beautifully. They are excellent for driving or boating... or just looking cool!

I just happened to stumble upon this gentleman's blog: http://www.my-oakley-collection.blogspot.com/

He's a collector, and is selling off part of his collection at really good prices. These are new Oakleys, and if you are looking for a vintage pair from perhaps a few years back, this guy may just have them.

"Cleaned the car today.

Still needs a good clay bar day and buffer to help with the scratches.. I want it repainted. i hate when i clean up the car u notice all the little paint chips and stuff grr. I tried out some of the black magic liguid wax on the front hood and clip. I didnt noticed that much difference.

My car is the silver color. IT seemed a little deeper, but still could see some scratches on the hood. Nice and smooth though. I tired out the Turtle wax ICE interoir cleaner/shine.... THAT STUFF SUCKS. im gonna try and take it back. it removed all of the shine from the dealership detail from wheni got the car, and seemed to dry out the door pannel. VERY VERY disapointed in the product.

I used my lexol leather cleaner and conditioner.. i love that stuff. it will soften sun dried and harden leather.

Tried out rain-x new window cleaner. that seems ok. It seems to streak easier. Takes a little work to get them all away. Have to see how well it works when it rains see if it worked on the back and side window.

Need to get some interior trim cleaner treater for the plastic i was out of the mequires number 40"

He should try VINYLEX VINYL PROTECTANT for his trim. It would make it look like new again!

I just spent a wonderful few hours recently with a very good friend of mine, Winston gan. Winston owns D'Best Respray Company at Malayan Motors in Singapore and he's been in the restoration business for almost 22 years. If it's broken on the island here, and you want it fixed right, you go to Winston... hands down!

Malayan Motors sells Bentley's, Jaguars, Lexus... nice cars! Winston and I were laughing over another mutual friend of ours who has a very lovely black Bentley coupe with a dark/light Red leather interior.

Seems like this chap's son did a bit of a number on the rear leather seats and he brought the car into Winston's shop for repair.

Now, Winston like me, uses Lexol Leather Cleaner, Lexol Leather Conditioner and the KozaK Auto DryWash cloth on many of the cars he works on. From a Bentley to a humble Volkswagon, he Lexol's and KozaK's them all. And, they look great afterwards!

This gentleman expected a huge bill for cleaning the p$%**k from the rear seat.. instead we whipped out a spray bottle of Lexol Cleaner and went to work. Within an hour, the seat was clean, fresh, and conditioned with Lexol Conditioner. The smell was gone, the car was like new again, and we had a very happy amigo, smiling from ear to ear!

His driver was polishig his Bentley with a terry cloth towel... I took the opportunity to straighten him out and gave him a demo of the KozaK cloth. In less than 5 minutes, his coupe was spotless and glowing... and his eyes were as big as saucers! The road dirt was gone in a flash.. no water, no scratches! I love that cloth!

I then showed him the video from ProMedUSA's website at http://www.kozakasia.com/. He was laughing so hard I thought he was going to wet his pants (well.. actually he may have, but I wasn't about to check!!)

Here's the video for you to enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXsnYkTwjKg

That brings me to a story about my first Rolls Royce. It was a 1971 Silver Shadow, much like the one in the photo, except it was Silver with Black sides, and black leather interior.

The leather seats were getting very stiff... I bought the car in 1982 for $15,000 from a dealer in St. Louis, MO (Charles Schmidt I think was his name) and the seats had never been conditioned. They were beginning to crack badly. RR suggested Connelly's Hide Food at about $50 a pop... it didn't do S%#T to fix the seats. I tried Lexol Conditioner... used about 4 or 5 light coats over a week's time, and the seats were restored to an almost new suppleness. Now, the cracks were still there... but the leather was fresh and soft. It worked great!

Winston loves the product as much as I do... no sweat car care.. quick, easy, clean and... IT WORKS!
