    And ANOTHER product I don't care for; EO WAUD

    I think with this one, I got the same results that everyone else gets, but I don't like the look. It's all shine and reflection, and no depth. I had to re-wax the car to get the richness of color back, because the artificial shine of the WAUD hid the redness. I gave the stuff to my...

    Clearkote's Leather/Vinyl/Rubber dressing not suitable for exterior, IME

    I've tried this product 3 separate times on my exterior trim and vinyl convertible top. It looks great, but it does not hold up to water. In each instance, the product has washed off and left residue on my paint. There are other products that look just as good and don't wash off. That...

    Meguiar's Online down, still?

    Or, is there a new address but without a redirect, or are they looking for a new host? Thanks, Tom

    Hawaiian Island Shine and Coat's?

    Both offer "Cherry Wet Wax". I'm not against repackaging, lord knows I have products that look and smell and work the same as other products, products I've purchased from some pretty nice folks and that I'd purchase again. It's in pursuit of understanding that I suggest that Coat's might be...

    Gave some cross-country advice to a cyber friend; results

    I had a guy from Miata Forum PM me for advice, and we exchanged some emails, some links, and I sent him some product samples. The other day, I got the best reward/thank you that a guy could possibly get: Nice work, Joe! Tom

    More on Ultra Car Care Products; Color Brite Polish in Direct Sunlight

    I have this Subaru that I've been driving for a couple weeks now; it's been really bugging me because it's filthy, and no one's detailed it because it's going to auction next week. It's a 2002 Outback LLBean with 65000 miles, and I don't think it's ever been washed. Never, ever. Our club had...

    Ultra Car Care Products Super Finish, used in direct sunlight!

    The actual product name is "Ultra Car Care Products Super Finish UVA Sunscreen". It is a thin liquid, about as thin as 303,with no scent. It clams "100% PURE CARNAUBA WAX". The directions say it "can be applied in sun or shade". It is mid-70s today, with a light breeze and low humidity, a very...

    LOL, I finally broke down and ordered some stuff... er, stuf

    I held off on getting a new product for... let me think... well, not counting the used products I bought here on Autopia, I haven't bought anything except mf towels since January, when NXT came out. I ordered some Stuf, and some Clearkote products today. Y'all gotta leave me alone. It's...

    Pocono Track days

    I got 2 days of driver instruction at Pocono Raceway's North course. If any of you ever get the opportunity to try this, DO IT. It's an adult Disney thrill ride that you just can't get anywhere else. We had everyone from 18 year old guys to 53 year old grandmas. EVERYONE learned, EVERYONE got...

    A nice '92 I saw at the track yesterday, some comments about process over product

    I had a couple days of track instruction, and got to meet some really great folks (I'll post that story in a few days). I also got to see some really well cared for cars, including this '92 Sunburst Yellow Miata: This picture is of a car that has just done about 1 1/2 hours on a wet...

    4 Star Gloss Enhancing Spray = Sonus Sonacrylix?

    Smell the same, feel the same, look the same in the bottle, look the same on the car. I say, they're the same product, different labels. It's a really good product, too. Tom

    Thoughts at the 1/2 way point about 4star UPC, new Sonus pads, Meg's mf towels, etc

    I'm trying some new (to me) stuff today, and I like all of it. Started with Robert Earl Keen's A Bigger Piece of Sky. Now we're at Elvis Costello & the Attractions Live at the El Mocambo. Man, this is fun. Those aren't new, though. 1) Ultra Car Care Products Body Wash (with "glaze...

    A killer plastic polish I've been using for years...

    I have no idea where I got this; 210 Plastic Cleaner and Polish, from Sumner Industries. I originally got it to clean the plastic that goes over the gauges on my Nissan truck in 1986. It's an aerosol spray that feels very, very slightly "heavy". I think I may have gotten it at an art supply...

    ColorX a good recommendation for your "Joe Average" friends

    Guys, this is one of those $5 bottles of wax that, if used properly, gets you about 85% of the way there. It is extremely easy to use, giving it a VERY high results-to-effort ratio, thus making it one of those products that your friends will thank you for recommending. I used this on my...

    Info about some off-beat waxes/sealants/polishes, please?

    First; The stuff that's now "Four Star"; is that what used to be Platinum, as in PUPP, PUPC, or is Platinum different? That name change has confused me. I got some Four Star Ultimate products, UPP, UPC, and UGE, I guess I'll call it... what do I have? 1Z Metallic Polish Wax. Does the name...

    Someone else do this mf towel comparison & report back, plz?

    I got my elite towels from Autofiber the other day; they're very nice towels. I was going to order the Micro Restore anyhow, so ordering it along with the towels made sense in some way, I forget how now. What I'm getting to is, the big blue drying towel from WalMart, in the auto section, is...

    A couple of different mf towels; Meg's and Stoner's

    Well, first I think that these towels might be exactly the same grade from the same manufacturer; the look and feel is exactly the same. The Meg's towels are edgeless, though, and the Stoner's towels are edged. Neither towel is labelled. Both towels removed Gold Class wax residue equally...

    Allard detailed by Mike Phillips featured in Sports Car Collector Magazine!

    Link to Mike's photoessay Quote from the article: "...my polling of the Allard die-hards says they'd peg a car like this at $175,000-$200,000. Even so, there's still another degree of separation between that price and the $324k that bought this car. I'll admit that I haven't a clue as to...
