Hi all, While not exactly new here, I definitely haven't been around in a while. Around 2002 I did enough research to decide I needed a PC 7427, Klasse All In One, Klasse Sealant Glaze, 3M Swirl Mark Remover, a jar of S100 (re-branded P21S paste wax), and a tub of One Grand. I just ran out...

Last thursday we got one of those amazing springlike days that enables you to go outside without getting pissed off. Here's what I started with:

Check out this Miata Forum thread. Seems like a good idea, maybe get a little more life out of a rubber part that fails pretty often but is not exposed to UV. Think 303 would help in this instance? Thanks! Robert

Some recent posts recommend a 24hr dwell time. It's long been accepted that a 24 cure time between coats is a good idea. So... dwell 24 hrs, buff, cure 24hrs more? Or... dwell/cure 24 hrs, buff, reapply? R PS- I'll be doing the second regardless, just curious about what...

OK, suppose just for the sake of discussion that you had several layers of SG on your car and that despite a resonable wash schedule you'd built up some crud that normal washing couldn't handle... AIO has a good rep as a paint cleaner, so you'd like to use that to get after the nasty bits...

After the 'depth' thread I want to try Blitz, but I don't need a whole can. I've got some S100 to trade- who wants to try it? Mail me direct... Robert

Decided that I've got enough SG on the Miata and I wanted to move to the S100 topper (that's the cheaper 'cycle version' of P21S). Put a coat on last night, real easy, then drove around for a bit. Today I want to put another coat on but the car is a little dusty. Can I just QD with CP then...

This really made my day. It's kind of long but worth it. This weekend was spent mostly putting a new motor in my gf's civic. Took a long time, and I was really tired when I got done today about 3p but my Miata was _dirty_. It's a 94, 45k miles, a cool green/blue flip called Montego...

Normally I air-dry mine but I see that some use the dryer. The reason I don't do that is that all the other stuff that goes in there gets a Bounce fabric softener sheet and I figured that that would leave a residue which would then get transferred to my MFTs. For those of you who use...

Ah, vacation. You come home tired, relaxed, and happy. Then you realize that the huge tree in your neighbor's front yard has dropped about 2lb of flower-bud covers on your freshly Klassed car, and that while you were gone they've gone through about 7 wet/dry cycles... These bud covers...

I thought about ordering these from www.containerstore.com but the shipping was more than the bottles themselves. A quick netsearch revealed this: https://store.nalgenunc.com/store/ Go to 'Dispensing Bottles'. The last two digits of the part number is the size in ml, about 30 ml = 1 oz...

Well.... I TRIED to heed the warnings! Got to the SG step of the clay/smr/aio/SG routine last night and applied it with my PC. What I found was that even if I put small amounts (like 4 drops) on the grey CMA pad the machine deposited waaay too much for the first 12-18" and that it was hard to...

Pricing out clay locally, I can get a big Clay Magic bar (??grams) with no lube for $26, which seems very expensive (comments?). I could get the Mother's kit with their QD and an 80g bar for ~$15, and the Meg's kit (similar contents to the Mothers) for $11. I'd buy the Meg's if I thought it...

It took awhile, but I went all the way back through the archives and now I am fired up to get my 94 Miata looking killer for the summer... I've got a big order coming from CMA and intend to get a PC at our local Lowes this week. It's really great to have a place to come to where most things...
