    Fill Line?

    Are all of the meguiar's bottles including the general bottle (no product label) marked in the same way? Do they all have the dilution marks and volume measurements?

    First Engine Detail +HL Dehazing

    Great turnaround on the engine! I must be honest though the HL just doesn't seem to look much different, maybe it was the way the picture was taken? What was the process for your HL's?

    When do you guys use IPA wipedowns

    :dblthumb2: Awesome, think I was just misunderstanding what people were talking about for their IPA wipes. Thanks for helping to clear it up.

    When do you guys use IPA wipedowns

    First, thanks for the responses. I guess I'm just concerned if I'm doing it right. Is there any harm in just wiping down with a MF after say a medium polish before going to a finishing polish? I only use the cleaner after the final polish before LSP.

    When do you guys use IPA wipedowns

    I have read many of your techniques on here but am always confused about when you use the IPA wipe-down. After each polish step? After the final step? before polishing? Never normally use this, kind of just use a apc/qd mix to clean the residue and lubricate for wiping off. Just wondering about...

    Boar's hair brush for swirl free washes?

    I'm interested in it but am on the fence about it. The price is quite steep. But with how much I work on cars and paint, the convenience factor may be worth it. does it really do as good of a job cleaning dirt and contaminants as its MF counterparts?

    Boar's hair brush for swirl free washes?

    Assuming one would use a proper two bucket w/ grit guards technique, how realistic is it to expect that the Boar's hair will keep the finish as nice and swirl free as a high quality MF mitt?

    Finally got the time to clean him up! (lotsa pics :D)

    :D I agree Metajames, I have driven the STi ('04 '07 and '09) and they are fantastically brilliant aside from the interior. But lets call a spade a spade, the GTI and the STi are two very different machines. For what the GTI is, its got to be one of the best handling FWD cars there is, well...

    Finally got the time to clean him up! (lotsa pics :D)

    I will tell you footwork, as I see that you are driving a subie, that I was considering a new WRX so badly. I decided to swing in to VW knowing that they were far more underpowered and didn't have the AWD. All of my previous cars (un-sporty I will say) were Sub's and the GTI took all of about 2...

    Yeah was all by hand. Wanted to do 2 coats of wax but after the first my shoulders told me not too! LOL. Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks!

    Finally got the time to clean him up! (lotsa pics :D)

    First, let me say that I LOVE TORNADO RED! Hides dirt so well! There now that that's out of the system, I took a few before and after pics. As I said above it was kinda hard to see the dirt so I really got in there with the lens so hopefully those pictures turn out. Didn't get to clean the...

    Compound and Polish comparison question.

    I agree with that sentiment. I only have experience with wolfgang duo (great results). Saw the vids on the polishing section using the XMT products and also enjoyed the results. Then I happened across the chart and thought about how close I live to Griot's. I guess AG is a blessing and a curse...

    Compound and Polish comparison question.

    Through my research on the site here I really like the Pinnacle XMT series. That being said I also noticed that on the Compound cut comparison chart (Autogeek Swirl Removers & Compounds Comparison Chart) that the XMT series has the same cut levels as the Griot's garage polish system. My...

    Benefits of foam wash guns?

    ^^ apparently us westerners don't go to bed very early ;) After looking at those I can see why Bobby G would find the hose gun more so a gimmick. It looks more like when I take my MF mitt and squeeze out some foam. The HP however really looks like it could have some bene's for lubricity and...
