First, sorry but no digital camera tonight. I'll post pics tomorrow. I'd been told by Meg's tech support that I couldn't layer #20 over #7; Mike and Tim, however, say that I can. So, I redid my hood that way. First, no surprise to anyone: #7 alone looks UNBELIEVABLY good. If there was a...

I was in A&A Auto parts today, looking for some Autometer gauges, and I wandered over into the "products" section to see what interesting stuff they have. Hmmmm. Mothers. :up Always nice to see a quality product among the Turtles and Armors. Chip repair kit; :D good to see it in the stores! OK...

I got a chance to try this today. 75*, low humidity: perfect. I applied it according to directions, by hand in a circular motion with a terrycloth applicator, to the hood of my (single stage) red Miata, over top of my #20/#26/Paste Souv. After applying... the applicator had red on it...

Got the package today; I opened the bottles and used small amounts. Initial impressions: First, I found out that it's "Gri-oh's", not Gri-ought's". 1) Window Cleaner. I'd be really surprised if there is anything other than isopropyl alcohol and water here. Probably a proprietary ratio...

For my Miata. I held off for 4 years, I just couldn't hold off any longer. Tom

Uh, some regular readers might notice that I'm working my way through the Stoner's Sampler. I am impressed as heck with these two products (actually, I think they are the same). Trim Shine is a milky white vinyl protector (how unusual!), available in gallon containers, but as part of the...

In composition, action, appearance, durability? I tried the search, but no matter how I configured my terms, I couldn't get relevant results, sorry if it's a repeat question. But, the products appear similar but not the same, I'd like to experiment with them. Maybe they could be...

You might have to be off your rocker to buy some ofhe tools and hardware, but IMO, the chemicals are right around what other "boutique" brands charge, and some are less. And, most people agree that the quality is there. 128 oz Speed Shine, $30; not a bad word about this product, and many say...

Strange stuff, these products. Do any of them have a place in the Autopian world? Interestingly enough, maybe one of them. Both the Stoner products are polymer/wax blends. Bead Max "contains a proprietary blend of natural waxes and synthetic polymers..."; Speed Bead "contains a proprietary...

This is a superior product in appearance. It is very natural, very attractive. However, it comes in an aerosol can. This makes it easy to apply to the tires, but I got little drop marks of overspray all over my car. (I applied it in the garage, there was no wind). The instructions offer an...

As part of an ongoing investigation of the Meguiar's line, I decided to strip my Miata of its Souveran and apply #20 followed by #26. At that point, I might top the #26 with Souveran again, I don't know yet. My thinking is, polymer, topped with wax/polymer, topped with wax...? It seems like...

What's the diff? The product descriptions use almost the same words, but in different order, to describe the product; it's as if one was cribbed from the other! So, I've used #7, but what makes #3 different? What is the difference in how it is worked, how it looks, and what you can use with...

I am very pleased with the ease of use and the appearance of this product. I applied it with a foam applicator; a small amout saturated the applicator, and then a spot about the size of a nickel was enough for each panel. It went on with no problem. I waited the requisite 20 minutes, and then...

Before:

He got the car at the auction. It's sweet, but someone buffed it, like, Swirl Mark City. I can't stand to look at it. He powder coated my cam cover on my Miata, so I'm doing this to return the favor. Is the car clearcoat/basecoat, is what I'm wondering, and, if so, can I go as agressive as...

We got a lot of info from Mike over the last few days. I felt the need to turn imagination into experience, so I decided to polish up the wifemobile. It had last been done over the weekend of the 4th, with Liquid Souveran: for those interested, LS is an easy to use "wipe on / wipe off" wax...

http://www.moreshine.com/M002kit.htm I was going to post in "Good Deals", but I'm unfamiliar with anything other than IG. The kit is 12 cans: IG, "Speed Bead", "Xenit", "Carpet Cleaner", "Trim Cleaner", "Fabprotex", "More Shine Less Time", "Bead Max", "Tarminex", "Gust", "Trim Shine", and...

I'm a perpetual noob, trying to add to the community here; any more experienced guys and gals, please get me back in line if what I'm saying is wrong. If it's been said before, or doesn't need to be said and this is extraneous, delete it. I've always been a fan of using lots of...

I ain't gonna slag 'em just because they're a Turtle Wax product; IMO, they're a "find". No scratches, no propensity to hold onto dirt. They are super soft, very gentle, hold lots of water and rinse out with a lot of "bloom". A couple bucks each, anywhere fine Turtle Wax products are sold...

Like everything this perpetual noob writes, some of you know this and some don't. I can't say I was impressed; overall, it seems like a waste of wax to me. The car is Souv pasted. I wax it every couple weeks anyhow. I tried about an ounce of souv liquid in a bucket with an ounce of...
