Thank You both. I had some luck using Meg’s Scratch-X by hand. But in those spots I now need to polish out the swirls. I tried to call Meguiar’s today but it said the call center is closed due to CA COVID restrictions. I’m guessing it’s been like that for a long time. Dave

I saw several videos where they used Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener diluted 50/50 with water to remove stubborn water and bird dropping spots. I’m looking for the consumer equivalent since I can’t find the small qty I need locally. I have a black 96 SVT Cobra Mustang with otherwise excellent...

OK, I'll give that a try. Normally I wouldn't use a machine to apply but for 2 reasons. 1) I have a lot of pain issues from 3 back surgeries and a failed neck surgery and 2) for me my wife's Murano is a big vehicle to detail. I was spoiled by our Subaru Outback and my 96 SVT Cobra is not...

If you were to go this route, which of the Sealants would you use? I will be buying and mixing with the DG 601 and when I get the time probably topping off with Collonite Wax. I'll be applying the Sealant with a Griot's GG6. What pad and speed should I apply the sealant with? Thanks.

I know this is a 2 year old thread. Hopefully I'll get some views and suggestions. I'm convinced to try Dura Gloss after reading this and similar threads. In the past in prepping the daily drivers for sealer /wax I would Wash with ONR or something else if car was really dirty, then Clay Bar...

Just an FYI. I haven't tried this project, it just arrived in my inbox today. Plans for garage lighting using inexpensive LED Strips from eBay. http://www.instructables.com/id/Inexpensive-Garage-Lights-From-LED-Strips/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email Sent from my iPhone using...

Ch17: I'm not a total noob, but I hadn't corrected the swirls in the soft black paint on my 96 SVT Cobra Mustang in over a year. I too used UP, because I didn't want to go with a more aggressive compound. I had the exact same issue, even when using my softest MF towels. I posted a similar...

When not using Colonite I top with Croftgate Quick & Slick. It leaves the surface very shiny and extremely slick. It's a spray and wipe that you apply sparingly and wipe immediately with a MF cloth with a spray on it. I've obtained even more shine by applying with a DA and a finishing pad. I got...

I've used Griot's Garage All in One Sealant with a Lake Country Orange [emoji521] or White Pad on 3 daily drivers with good results. For winter ❄️ I top with Colonite 845 and get almost 6 months out of it. I'm located in PA and we get some harsh winters. Over a winter I have had the GG AIO...

Thank you, I have both Ultima products, UWWP & ULTIMA Spray Car Wax Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

Gotcha, wrong terminology. What's the best thing I can do to get the most shine from the UPGP. Hand buff with my best MF towel, or use my DA with some product, a QD, Spray Wax, etc? Thanks again, Dave Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

After a wash, clay, wash, Ultimate Polish, some scratch correction, and an rinseless wipedown I put down a coating of UPGP. Then reading about layering it, I laid down 2 more coats, 3 on the hood and front quarters. Once this all cures I'd like to do a final buffing or jeweling to a high...

When I have the time I'm going to do a full correction and either coat it myself or have a pro coat it. I've had 3 serious back operations with hardware and a failed neck operation. So a full correction for me takes a few days. 1-2 panels at a time. I pushed it for Carlisle and have been...

My supply is New In Bottle, but about 2 years old. Bought it on a BOGO. Is that the New Formula? Also I went to Carlisle with 1 coat. Got many comments on the Shine. But can I now carefully wash and add 2 more coats? Thanks, Dave

Probably saw you and didn't realize it. The Boss area was very close to the SVT Cobra area, and the all important Porta Potties, [emoji90]
