    Does megs #7 contain fillers?

    Meg's M07 is awesome on SS paints, I don't think many others come close when working on these types of coatings. The best filling glaze I've used is Prima Amigo. I haven't used it on SS paint, but on CC it works great at filling in swirls when that is what you are trying to accomplish.

    3401 on an RV

    I admit I overlooked your post #3, sometimes its difficult to catch it all on my Blackberry. I also admit that I went on a bit of a rant, but did so only because I've become a bit frustrated with some replies you've directed towards me (most of which were both unsolicited and unwarranted.) I...

    Any chance you could post a picture of the damage you speak of?

    Optimum's Hyper Polish and Compound?

    Now that they've been out for a few weeks, how do those of you that use the new OPT Spray polish and compound rate them? How well do they perform? What are the pros and cons, and can you provide any links to threads where they were used in a detail. I'm curious about these.

    Disappointing products

    I initially missed this. I share your sentiment, I had three different units fail me. I've been hesitant to purchase a new V2 because of it. My PCXP and Griot's are both great though. :xyxthumbs:

    What to charge for AIO's

    I'd probably say around 135-200 dollars at the minimum for a true AIO job on a small to midsized compact (This is on the lower end, you'll need to gauge your client base.) You need to remember that an AIO will need to be worked against the finish to take advantage of it's cleaning abilities...

    My detail collection

    Love your collection, nice and tidy. Where did you get those sprayer heads, and How do you like the AGHD Cleaner?

    Overspray on vehicles

    A clay bar and lube would be my first approach. You may even find the need to use an aggressive clay if the work calls for it, which would mean you may end up polishing afterwords.

    Man's best friend, Lets see yours.

    Hey guys, I thought it would be fun to share pictures of our furry family members. Here are mine, they are both strays that I found and adopted while on routine patrol. The little one really made me work to catch him, now he won't leave my side. Here is "Watts", he was the first one I adopted...

    if you could choose only 2 polishes

    In keeping with a system, I would vote for Meguiar's Dynamic Duo of M105/ M205. Or, Menzerna's Power Finish PO203s and 85rd. The first two will obviously offer greater correction ability. :xyxthumbs:

    Does megs #7 contain fillers?

    I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. You bring up some good points though. It's always good to get another point of view on things. As far as the wax, I feel that many waxes do more than protect. Although protection is their main objective and purpose, we mustn't ignore...

    3401 on an RV

    Rsurfer, lets try and be less critical and help someone out for a change. After reading the title of the OP's thread and his question, I gathered that he only has a DA (Flex 3401VRG) to work with. Lets try and remember that not everyone owns nor has the skill set necessary to safely operate a...

    Finish Kare Paint Decontamination System

    I own and have used the Finish Kare Decontamination system several times. It does indeed work. :xyxthumbs:

    Does megs #7 contain fillers?

    I think you're missing something from that thread. Did you read the complete thread, or am I misunderstanding your reference/ post? Mike did machine polish the entire car, but only after he glazed it by hand. The reason he used M07 by hand initially wasn't to completely restore the finish, but...

    Disappointing products

    I partially disagree. I think it works great, but like you said it's super thick and sometimes troublesome to get out of the bottle. Performance is great though. This is a good thread. I disliked most of the TW ICE products. Their interior cleaner and wash weren't bad though. Not the best, but...

    Do it myself or leave it to professionals?

    I've been collecting detailing supplies for quite a while now, and if I had to start from scratch with the knowledge I have now, I'd probably purchase a kit that looks something like the following: Griot's Garage 6-inch Random Orbital Polisher ------------------------------- $129.99 Wofgang...

    Do it myself or leave it to professionals?

    For black plastic parts like bumpers you'll need a trim dressing like Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant or equivalent. You can also get the Forever Black Trim Restorer Kit for a more permanent/ longer lasting solution. Secondly, avoid going over pin stripes with the polisher, you'll run the risk of...
