    PC and Megs #2 -- Couldn't wait

    Bought a PC from Lowe's and was waiting patiently for my Sonus Pads and Paintwork Cleaner from Autopia store. Couldn't stand it, so I used a bit of Fine Cut Megs #2 on the supplied polishing pad and got to work on a couple of scratches that I thought were a bit deep. Magic! They're either...

    product storage

    Which products can be safely left in an unheated garage all year long? Some products say do not allow to freeze, but most don't give useful info. My wife thinks all this c**p belongs in the garage not in the basement or anywhere else in the house, so it would be helpful to know which can be...

    Help! Black plastic mirrors

    After reading through the older messages, I decided to try some of the sample 303 I got on the black plastic side mirrors of my Dodge. I wiped it on and then buffed it off. Looked fine for a day. 2 days later: Dull! Blotchy! Can't seem to get it back to the old shiny black plastic look...

    buying older cars

    I am impressed by the wealth of knowledge here and would appreciate some comments. Am thinking of getting a well-used Lexus or Infiniti 4dr sedan. Perhaps something from 1995-1997 with 50-60k. How bad is it to look at those LS400s and Q45s with 90,000 or even 100,000 miles? Can you...

    old polyglycoat

    I was in the basement and forgot that I had an unused box of this stuff (one bottle each of prep and sealant) that I bought at a closeout for $3 from Kmart or Target a few years ago. Comes complete with 4 year guarantee . :D Is it really horrible stuff or is it just a typical mass market...

    four star pro

    Can't find this with a search: What's the difference between UPP and Four Star's Polymer Sealant in their Professional line? So far, quite impressed by the look of UPP both alone and with Megs 16.

    tag on JT intern MF towels

    I really like the quality of the towels I got from JT intern. Good towels, low price. But how do you get rid of the stuck on tags on the green 16x16 towels? I ripped a hole in the first towel whose tag I removed. Tried washing the others and then using tweezers, but still haven't...

    1st try with #16

    Just wanted to thank everyone who encouraged me and who suggested I try Megs #16. Great stuff. Easy on and off, and a nice warm glow. Here's part of the trunk of a 98 Dodge Stratus ES, after wash, clay, DC Body Scrub, Duragloss and then Megs #16. I'll be playing with other combos soon on...

    disposable cloths

    Has anyone heard of these disposable polishing cloths? Are they any good? http://www.microfiberplus.com/accessories.htm They might be useful to leave in the car for quick touchups. I have a new minivan and kids run in and out. Thought this might help mitigate the inevitable messes...

    best dark color?

    Just for my info: What is the consensus regarding the best dark color from the standpoint of ease of care and minimal swirling? My impression is that black and red can be a PITA to keep in good condition. My metallic gold/beige seems to hide swirls pretty well. Thx.

    wheel/hubcap cleaning problem

    I have some sort of whitish gunk on one of the wheels (looks a bit like blobs of plaster or hardened plastic) that have stuck on (center and around it) and can't be removed by my normal washing and scrubbing. I think that my wife bumped it against a wall at one time and didn't do anythng...

    Hello all. I'm new to this group after lurking a while. I'd like to know if anyone offers samplers with small amount s of different waxes or polishes? I would also pay to have one of you with extensive collections of stuff send me about an ounce each of various waxes. I mostly have store...
