Thanks, Richy, So, I do NOT sand the white paint prior to applying the clear coat then sand and buff again??? Is that correct? Thanks, Mike

Hey Richy, The local repair shop said that they could do it for me, but they thought that it would cost too much for a 12 year old car and the paint shop guy gave me small 2 containers (1 white and 1 a clear pearl) and told me to put them on separately. BTW, I did go to a local Advance auto...

Anyone???

Sorry, yes you are correct; I meant to say 205. Thanks, Mike

Hi, I would like to know if there is a big difference between what I have on hand which is the "XMT Ultra-Fine Swirl Remover 1" and "Meguiars 105" and the job that they do? Thanks, Mike

Great work. I had a quick question about a stone chip in the size of a pea that is chipped down to the primer on the top part of my rear passenger door just below the window. My question is I have a factory pearl type paint job on my 2000 Acura TL (pearl white) and it has 2 stages of touch up...

Nice Job!!! What process and products did you use for the engine and engine bay? Thx, Mike

Here is what I use: And I mistakenly said Meg's #1 and #2 when I should have said steps #1 and 2 of the Meg's "Deep Crystal" system. Sorry guys.

They are the maroon bottles and what I think asphalt was referring to is IF I decided to purchase a machine polisher then I would use Megs 105/205. Mike

Hey Asphalt, I appreciate the info very much!!! Anybody else have suggestions as well? Mike

I appreciate the info and that would be my next line of questioning...what machine polisher, pads, other waxs, polishes and etc for machine waxing will I need? A good beginner laundry list of items that I won't outgrow in the next couple of years. Thanks, Mike

Actually starting with Megs #1 then Megs #2 and then Megs # 16 or Megs Gold class or Megs Carnauba Wax. This method has been good to me over the years. What are your suggestions? I am willing to learn and I am all ears!!! Also, am I missing something on machine polishing my car? Does it...

Not right now...do not own any machine polishers yet. I am somewhat new to this and am not really sure what machine polishing can bring to the table without incurring a decent amount of money for the machine, pads different polishes etc! Thanks though and why do you ask?

Well, if you do get a new windshield then you can keep the old one to practice your craft to find out how to do it next time...IF there is a next time!!!

Thanks everybody for your answers!!! This is my first post and I accidentally came across this website about a week ago and it has been a great resource. Thanks again and Happy Holidays, Mike
