Why did Meguiar's get rid of the D103 APC?

10.34 miles

Is it the New Look Tire and Trim Gel? I have it and it looks really good on tires and plastic trim. I've only used OTC stuff before this, so I don't have a lot to compare it against. My only small complaint is that since it's oil-based, it seems to attract bugs and dust. My next tire/trim...

I have some kitchen cabinets to clean before I sand/paint them. I have Meg's 103+. Has anyone used it on wood? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything and it sounds like it would clean as well as TSP, which is usually used for cabinets.

I got a pack at Lowe's. They are blue.

Nitrogen has nothing to do with fuel mileage. Keeping your tires inflated to the right pressure does.

Nitrogen will not extend the life of tires. Keeping them properly inflated and rotating them will though.

The idea that the ride is any different with nitrogen is a myth. Completely untrue. Also, the nitrogen itself doesn't increase fuel mileage, but keeping your tires inflated at the proper pressure does. I would rather buy a $10 digital tire gauge and just check the pressure every couple weeks...

Last week I washed/clayed/polished/sealed my truck. I used CG V36 polish and Menzerna Powerlock. I only applied one coat of Powerlock mainly because I was running short on time. I need to wash the truck this week, so is it okay to just wash it and add a coat of sealant a week after the first...

I will say I bought Chemical Guys grit guards. Not sure if they are any different than the rest of them.

I have two Lowes blue buckets and my grit guards fit perfectly.

Stand in the bed of the truck to do the rear part of the roof. I have to do that just to wash my Tundra with a mitt.

SLP makes some bad-a** exhausts. I had their Loudmouth catback on my '03 Mustang GT with a catted H-pipe and it sounded awesome. Little bit of a rumble at idle and it was nice and throaty. I love my truck but I miss that car. I will have another Mustang one day, hopefully an '03 or '04...

If you're going to do any correction, just wait until you can wash, clay, compound/polish, then seal/wax. I think you're wasting time waxing then going back and removing it to do correction. That's just me though. From what I've read, a paint sealant will repel dust better than wax.
