My 85's Paintjob still holds pretty good after I had the car repainted 6 years ago. I am tired of Wax related products since they leave white residue in the plastic trim parts. The current car wash products I use are from Meguiars.

IPD is advertizing "Astro shield" which seems to be around for a long time and I can see that some people swear by it. Has anyone had any experience with AS or anything they else can recommend?

I also remember a couple of years ago in a trade show they was a person who was selling a liquid type wax that was easy to apply and they results were stunning. They used to have this product on the late night marketing shows on the TV. Does anyone remember what it is?

Lastly I am trying to get rid of a smell that still remains in the car after 4 years when my mother spilled some lamb gravy in the rear carpet(lamb smell is very distrinctive). I have washed the rear carpet 2-3 times but the smell always comes back in the summer or when the weather gets warmer. Does anyone know of any products that can eliminate the odor? I have used detergent and also some carpet deodorizing sprays(the ones you have to brush after).

Thanks

Mike
