    Heresy - I Say HERESY!

    Last night while in the garage smoking a cigarette I spied a spray bottle of - please forgive me - Turtle Wax Express Shine. I had not used this product for over a year - at least since I subscribed to this forum. My black Santa Fe looked pretty good with two months on the last coat of EX...

    Meg's #81 Hand Glaze

    I re-worked my black Santa Fe this weekend and I used Hand Polish for the first time. OH BOY! What a SHINE! The glaze really brought out the finish after working with SSR2 and VM. With the swirl removers the finish was pretty much free of major defects but it lacked, how you say? "POP"...

    What do I do Now?

    While workers pulled up old flooring to install hardwood in the Kitchen and Family room, I worked on my black Santa Fe. The car looks really nice now after using my new PC to use SSR2, and (I hesitate to admit it) VM to get the finish the best that I have ever experienced. Now what? I have...

    3M Gloss Enhancer

    My black Hyundai Santa Fe has never looked better! It's going on six weeks since the last coat of Poorboy's EX was applied. It has rained many days in the interim. After each foray into the rain I have cleaned the car with Poorboy's Spray and Wipe. The car has not had an automatic or...

    Am I the Only One With Problems of Streaking With CK QS?

    I have a black Hyundai Santa Fe. Five weeks ago I put the third and final coat of Poorboy's EX on the vehicle. From that datum point there have been rain days and always I have used S&W to clean up the car - followed up with a variety of QD's. Of the lot - Showtime, EO, Platinum, 3M Gloss...

    3M Gloss Enhancer and EX

    3M Gloss Enhancer QD works really well with EX. The 3M product contains trace amounts of carnauba wax and a couple of types of alcohol. The combination seems to have a synergistic effect with EX. The black Santa Fe looks better today after 5 weeks than it did the day I finished with the third...

    Yet Another Use for Poorboy's Spray & Wipe!

    S&W removes white polish stains from rubber and plastic trim. A tiny spritz of S&W on a microfibre towel and a brisk rub on the stain and it's GONE. I use S&W as a waterless wash after driving in the rain, on tires and wheels, glass (Inside and out) and, lightly misted, as an effective quick...

    I Need Help!

    I just got delivery of a PC and the Meg set of three pads. I have both DACP and 3M SMR. My dilemma: Which pad with which product? My black Hyundai Santa Fe was delivered last November and I have been trying to take care of the finish. I just finished claying and using Mother's Pre-Wax...

    Mother's Sealer & Glaze

    In anticipation of recieving my PC, pads and DACP, I've been "playing" with my black Santa Fe. I tried Mothers "Scratch Remover" with a Wal-Mart RO. Works pretty good! Forrest tells me that this is a "rebadged" pro product. It did sort of minimize the swirls on the hood. Again, it was...

    Glazes

    I have a black Hyundai Santa Fe. The paint is mediocre - at best. I don't own a PC, so I do everything by hand. That said, I know that I can't really remove swirls, but, if I'm lucky, I can hide them. My question is really two-fold. First, please compare "phase 1" products. IE: Meg's products...

    Autopia Concours Buffing Towel

    In a previous thread I extolled the virtues of EX as applied to my Black Hyundai Santa Fe. I feel that some portion of the credit for my satisfaction with EX on this car is due to the Concours Buffing Towel. The "sinful" tactile feel on the material just begs to be rubbed on the finish. I...

    EX Expectations - Fulfilled!

    It's been about two weeks (a long time in Autopian terms) since the last layer of EX on my Black Hyundai Santa Fe. Only now can I give an unqualified :up :xyxthumbs. For really the first time can I say that I am truly satisfied with the looks of Hyundai's mediocre paint. The Black is truly...
