    Is all the stages necessary?

    I'm probably the wrong guy to answer this, as I am a noob myself, but one thing I have learned is there is only so much clear coat on a vehicle, and (obviously) once it's gone, it's gone. With that, I feel you want the least amount of steps that will achieve the look you desire. Clearly...

    What happens if you wipe off wax before hazing?

    My uneducated assumption is that the wax needs time to set up to offer any protection. Since Carnauba waxes are derived from plants, and in their natural state are hard and flaky...there are other things mixed into the wax in order to make the product workable by the end user (and smell...

    Am I alone?

    While I was certainly impressed the first few times, I think it was because I wasn't sure how the final product was going to come out. Now that I feel I have a little more control (I'm still a bonafide noob) of the process, I don't think the results will be as jaw-dropping. Also, I've noticed...

    Meguiars Black Wax...Issues?

    Thanks for the feedback James. I didn't have this problem when I popped the seal less than 2 weeks ago, but since the product is in a metal toothpaste-like tube, and called a paste wax, not only is there really no way to shake it up, but I really didn't think you would have to. The tube is...

    Meguiars Black Wax...Issues?

    Has anyone experienced any issues with the Megs Black or White wax? I used the black wax a couple weeks ago and had pretty good results with it. I put it back on my chemical shelf in the garage, standing upright, and left it there. Today, I finally cracked open my White Wax, and went to...

    Recommended a wax/product please!

    I park my daily driver near a busy road and it seems that the car just attracts dust from all the passing vehicles, which is a lot of industrial traffic. Can anyone make a recommendation for a product that makes the surface less likely to hold this dust/fallout? I've kept the car clean with...

    Headlight Restoration- Give me the Basics!

    This was the result of the 3m kit that you do by hand (no drill required). I was very happy with the results.

    First undertaking... results better than expected!

    Thanks guys, it was well worth investing my day off. The wife was very please with the results. Maybe she'll get off my case about wanting a new car now (since I just got one!) :D

    First undertaking... results better than expected!

    Thanks!! Indeed, it felt great. Earlier in the week we had record breaking rainfall in my area, and with it came record breaking flooding...lol So the week has been a trying mess, and let me tell you that sitting on a lawn chair in my driveway with a cold brew in my hand admiring the results...

    First undertaking... results better than expected!

    Hey guys, noob here! I've been poking around for a week or so, this is a really nice forum, and the fanboy mindset seems to be at a minimum which is great!! So a few weeks ago I picked up a new Fusion, and have been spending a lot of time cleaning it up and getting some protection on it. I...
