It does have MB-Tex, and I didn't know it needed to be treated differently than others. All our other vehicles with leather come out just fine.

I've tried handfuls of leather cleaners & protectants and cannot seem to find one that really leaves the leather in any kind of "factory" condition. I've tried leather balms that leave streaks in the leather the next morning. Some make the leather seats incredibly slippery. Some of them come out...

It was meant to be funny, Bob.

Whenever I'm done with a job, I quickly spray my polisher with simple soapy water before putting it away. I cannot stand polish "sling" and colored gel coating over the machines. Just curious if anyone else does this, or wears layers of sling as war paint.

Paint code is 775. I guess it isnt

Pretty certain. It's a 2011

This past spring I detailed my entire E350, but had issues removing a scratch someone generously left down the side of the car. I have researched the MB ceramic clear, and have been looking at the Menzerna lineup. What do you recommend for product/pad/technique? I will be using a Meguiar's DA...

I believe I used Purple Power. The car was backed out of the garage and parked outside, so it was not hot when the engine was sprayed. It wasn't sitting on the engine for a long amount of time either.

I used an engine degreaser in hopes of removing some engine grime, but was left with a bunch of residue and damage I cannot get rid of. The valve covers appear to be ruined, and I'm not sure if I can bring them back to life. All the aluminum appears to be oxidized and there is a strange residue...

Ok, i will do that. Thank you!!

I have an '02 Mustang GT, Zinc Yellow (very bright) and it has small swirls. I detailed the car 2 summers ago using Meguiar's 205, and the car came out amazing. Since then the car has shown some very small swirls. My question is, can i use Meg's #3 Glaze and have it be effective in removing...

Just ordered the 845 :) Thanks for all the replies

I recently bought an 08 F150 and want to make sure the paint is protected during this coming winter. The goal here is to prepare it now, and not do much more than a pressure wash to keep the salt off. I currently use various Meguires products for my "summer" car, and use Wolfgang 3.0 sealant. I...

Made the mistake of buying a cheaper "breatheable" cover for my car. The water gets through, along with dirt and leaves water/dirt spots all over the vehicle. Ive seen the Covercraft covers listed on here. Question is, will they (or any other brand) stop water from getting through?

Good call. I used that blade once on a friends car and loved it. Havent thought about that item until now.
