    Just thought I'd share since this turned out  nice for Silver. I first did Optimum on the car but something was missing so I dawn washed 2x and started over with Megs NXT 2.0. I used my PC to apply with a finishing pad on #3. I let it cure so to speak for a couple days , mainly because I didn't...

    Applying OC (consumer version) with spray bottle and micro fiber.

    I just cannot get the hang of applying OS with a foam pad. I get high spots all the time. Maybe I'm using to much,I don't know. So I use a method using a dedicated small black Meguiars micro fiber towel that folded into sections and I just use one of the sections. I then give each panel a squirt...

    ONR kills 845 but how does it act on 1000p vs 476 ?

    In the past when Ive had 845 on a vehicle the ONR kinda killed it (as well as DG rinse less wash) , I always thought 845 was stronger than that but , guess not.    Any idea how it effects 1000p or 476s ?   Also what differences are you guys seeing between the 1000p vs the 476 ? as far a...
