I just saw a article located here > http://www.autopia.org/forum/guide-detailing/23740-meguiars-7-mike-phillips.html Some don't recommend the #7 on tri-stage color paints like mine. They say it works best on single stage paints.

What color is yours ? That's nice dark red, at least to my eyes anyway. I am partially color blind. I can tell the difference between red and black and white etc.. but different shades of the same basic color is hard for me to see. You know those pictures at the eye dr you see that have a...

Yes, I've had it detailed. The depth was a lot better, but the color wasn't any darker afterwards. They did a nice job, maybe I need to get a more detailed/involved process done in order to get some of the darkness that is use to have and you can see in the area's under the hood and door jams...

If you don't mind, what's the process. When you say clean, do you mean clay and degrease ? or something more involved ? I've never used Megs #7, what's the process with that if you don't mind. I could get it and read the directions, but I'd rather have some advice from someone that's used this...

Thanks, I did put them in the garage area and later saw them there. So they are on the autogeek website. You do have to double click on them to see them in the actual size though I noticed. I have a photobucket account and my own Mustang website so I've worked with pictures a bit. I didn't...

One thing I wanted to ask you all that I forgot until now, is do they have to strip the car all the way down to the primer in order to do a respray or where do they start from. Do they just wet sand and rough it up so the new paint will stick to it, apply degreaser to get it all clean and then...

No, not at this time. I wasn't real thrilled when browsing some of the websites for Mustang Forums. A lot of bull from people with profanity included smart remarks towards each other, so didn't see anything via a search on their website. Not exactly professional I guess is how I'd put it...

Southern Oregon. Never thought about that option for some reason. Take a look at my garage pics I just put up and look at my hood under the sun. Let me know if it's getting too faded for a shop to just fix the areas that need it. This color looks darker depending on the angle and amount of...

I just posted a few pics of the car in the garage area here and it's paint inside and out and engine compartment. I would have edited the last message but a message came up and said I only had 20min. to edit it without contacting the administrator. ooops...

Well, yep, I'm keeping it until I croak, that's how much I love the car. Then I hope my son keeps it as well. it's in perfect condition mechanically and interior is close to perfect as well. The door jams and engine compartment are still looking like new, so I don't think I'll need that done...

Hello, I'm wondering how much a good repaint will cost ? I want it done right of course and I've been told that this tri-stage paint job isn't the easiest to do. I have zero dents in the car and the paint isn't really bad yet but there's some areas where I used touch-up paint that need wet...

Well to make a long...story short, I did have to use the 0000 steel wool with the polish. It worked great, made my wheels look like new again. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. :xyxthumbs:

Ok, Got it, thanks. It looks like I'll try the 0000 steel wool. Do people use their car wax on chrome wheels to protect or is there a some special protectant for chrome ?

That Episode will be a favorite of mine, you bet your sweet posi rear end on that. Harley's and Mustangs have been my life - besides my Wife and Son that is, ha,ha!. I've had several Mustangs and I've got a website which is >>>Flickr: MustangsPast,Present & Ford technology

Hello, I tried searching and couldn't find what I'm looking for so What I'm looking for is a product that will remove some hard water stains on my chrome wheels. I bought it used so the front part of the wheels are fine. but the insides of the Cobra R spokes are looking pretty bad if you look...
