Just wanted some suggestions on what a starter collection of Meg's professional stuff should include for my new PC. I go to their site, and read all everyone's posts here & on the Vortex, and see all these numbers, and glazes and polishes and cleaner polishes, and am so confused! I have no idea which ones I actually need, and I don't want to take redundant steps. I wanted to stick with Meg's because I already use their consumer brand and am happy, and also like being able to buy it affordably OTC.
Just so you know what I'm working with -
Daily driver is '04 Neon, solar yellow. Paint is really in pretty good shape, just the usual light cobwebbing that you don't see except in bright sunlight, and then it looks kinda crappy.
The rest of the cars in the family have more paint damage. 89 Ford Escort beater which is what I aim to practice on, I think lived outside its whole life... It's like a light red metallic ["wild strawberry"] and has some scuffs where it's been rubbed on things, heavy oxidation, some swirls.
A Sebring convert almost the same color as the Ford w/ about the same condition paint.
My fiance's black '01 Silverado that he stopped washing or waxing a few years ago because he was tired of seeing new paint chips [!!!!] and well, we all know how horrible neglected & oxidized black paint looks. Cloudy and chalky and just ughhhh I can't even look at it.
One more black car, my mom's 01 BMW 3 series that she bought pre-owned and came with courtesy machine swirls from the dealer [wasn't that nice of them??] This one's also a little cloudy since all she does is take it thru the automatic every once in a while, and she parks it under a damn pine tree at work [against all my requests!!!]
Any help appreciated, and thanks in advance!
