My wife took the Benz out this morning...in a snow storm. Guess I can put my detailing supplies away for awhile. She was wearing her seatbelt and only got some seatbelt bruises. Maybe I'll look into a different color this time.

Saw it for the first time last weekend. Has anyone tried the FX wax yet? I read somewhere else that it shines more than Reflections. I'm very curious as to how it would look on black.

I've noticed a few recent threads about little stone chips on the edge of hoods. What about using one of the <shiver> colored waxes that have been around for awhile? Seems that if I were to really clean the leading edge of all wax, Qtips and alcohol, then apply a coat of black wax, buff, then a...

I had received a sample bottle of TC polish a couple of months ago, and to be very honest, when I open and sniffed the bottle, I really wasn't too anxious to try it on my black car. Well...Sunday was a beautiful day in New England and I was out early "playing". I decided to re-do the driver's...

Guess I'm a little confused. I just saw the thread with the black Civic with pix. Can we use VM under WG??? I was going to re-do my black car with AIO then either WG, UPP od SG. However, the Civic pix looked great with VM. Won't AIO strip the glaze from VM? I kinda thought that the solvents in...

I'd like to try Klasse SG..(I have AIO), but it's not available locally. Are there any equivalant sealants to SG? I currently have Insulator Wax on top of 1Z GW...nice but IW tends to let pollen stick to it. Paint is black so it gets very hot..wax gets soft...sticky. I have access to UPP, WG...

I got a chance to do some experimenting this weekend. After a full wash-clay-MG, then Insulator Wax treatment of my car, I kept seeing the bottle of Wax as you Dry sitting in my supply box. I took a little , tiny spray bottle..filled about 1/4 with WAYD, and added 3/4 of water...shook well and...

My car has had WG Gloss or NXT on it for the winter months..now I want to try something new for summer. Black Benz paint. The plan: wash....clay...Megs #3 Machine Glaze....#16 paste wax...another coat on Sunday. I've never tried this combo before. Anyone think this is OK, or should I change my...

I have now used the spray protectant twice on my tires. This is the first time..ever..that I really didn't NEED to redo my tires 1 week later! This is a remarkable product. If the tires are really clean, I just spray this stuff on and leave it alone ..for at least a half hour. Then a lite...

I did my black Benz with the WG pair a couple of weeks ago. My hood leading edge has a lot of little tiny chips that have now turned white...as though they have been filled with wax residue. First..how can I get rid of the residue, then secondly...what can I put on the hood to prevent this from...

I have a few of these and I've never used them...these are the waffle type black pads. Are these any good to use for polishing???

I'm going to my AB supply store later today..I need a final polish..something similar to 1Z Metal polish. Can someone recommend something in the Megs line? I have Megs 82 and I'm not too thrilled with it.

I'm going on a cruise in 2 weeks and we start out in San Juan. Anyone know of any stores that sell things we can't get in the US? I guess I'll be there with a few hours to kill before we sail and I'd love to do some shopping.

Got some Megs 82 SFP..tried it Sat on my black Benz. Ok..but not too clear..tried my sample of 1Z MP..yikes!! Clear..bright..deep. Tried a few other things..nothing seems to work as well. I'm looking for a final polish..you know..deep, wet, glossy, etc. I only have a little sample of 1Z...want...

I got a few hours to do some polishing on Saturday. I just got some Megs #82 SFP. Used it with a Meg's 8006 polish pad..worked OK but not as nice as 1Z MP. I found that I liked Perfect It III MG more than the Megs. What other polishes would you recommend for a black Benz..I'm looking for that...
