    Official Meguiar's Crew - Fanatics and Chat Thread

    I hate to ask stupid questions, but sometimes I get lost on the acronyms. What does DUB stand for? I looked at Meg's website and can't find a wheel cleaner that fits DUB. I'm always looking for a wheel cleaner that actually does remove brake dust, and right now I'm still looking. Just for the...

    Official Meguiar's Crew - Fanatics and Chat Thread

    Please add me to the list. My first name is Jeff. I've been using Meguiars products for years to buff out my paint jobs. I was always a loyal 3M user until the owner of the paint store I get my supplies from suggested I try Meguiars. I just checked, and I have 16 different Meguiars products in...

    Perfecting my Car: Wetsanding to Remove Orange Peel, and Wheel Repair

    Make that 4-6 mils. I don't know what I was thinking. Must have been an air bubble in the brain.

    Perfecting my Car: Wetsanding to Remove Orange Peel, and Wheel Repair

    If you go through your clear coat it will be a lot harder to get out bed. OEM clear is so thin at 2 mils. When I do a paint job I put on about 8-10 mils of clear. You can wet sand that to your hearts content and not go through the clear.

    Reload Streaks No Matter What I Try

    Thank you for all of your responses. I tried Reload on my dark silver DD over the weekend and it worked great. That car is coated with Cquartz. I also used it on the wheels which have no coatings or wax, and it worked great on those too. It has to be the WDGPS that it isn't compatible with. No...

    Reload Streaks No Matter What I Try

    I have searched on reload and streaking and have tried all of your suggestions, but I still get streaking on my black car. The LSP on the car is WDGPS. Is Reload fussy about what you use it over?

    New Member- 2014 Shelby GT500

    You're going to like your new toy. I have the exact same car right down to the color, and I love it. I was showing a friend just last night what happens when you nail it in either 1st or 2nd gear with the traction control off. Mine is garaged and only gets driven when the weather is nice so it...

    Menzerna FG400 or Meguiars 105?

    This is a fantastic review. Thank you for posting this. Based on this I think I will order some 105 during the current sale. I already have FG400.

    Best practice final buff after applying UPG+

    Isn't it frustrating when that happens! I used a cotton diaper one time thinking it couldn't get much softer than that and it scratched too. I have given up trying to keep my black car perfect. I wouldn't have any clear coat left if I tried to keep it scratch free under an inspection light.

    M100, M101 or Ultimate Compound on Rotary?

    Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are intended to let people know what chemicals are present from a safety standpoint. It affects things like ingestion, shipping, storage, etc. It has nothing to do with pad selection.

    Menzerna FG400 or Meguiars 105?

    I will always use a polish after compounding so I am most interested in the compounding ability. I should probably give M100 a try. I've been using FG400 and really have no complaints, but like most people I was looking to save a little money.

    Menzerna FG400 or Meguiars 105?

    Anyone have a preference for one or the other? I am using a Flex 3401.

    Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating or Glasss Coating?

    Thank you for the input. Does anyone know what the shelf life is for the glass coating? PBL says it's good for 40 windshields which will last me a looooong time.

    Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating or Glasss Coating?

    Pinnacle Black Label has both a surface coating that is supposed to work for all surfaces or you can buy a specific coating depending on the surface (glass, paint and wheels). Does the glass specific coating do a better job on glass than the surface coating or are they the same? The same goes...

    GG 6" DA Polisher Taking out spider web scratches?

    Which one of the 3M rubbing compounds did you use? I've been down pretty much the same road that you have and can tell you the other products you used are for final polishing and won't get rid of the swirls you have. You might want to try one of the previous products and a white pad on the area...

    Flex 3401 - Hallelujah!

    Can the hybrid pads be used on the 4 3/8" Flex backing plate or do I have to go to the backing plate system with the 4" backing plate?
