The leveler did not work for factory Toyota 2013 touch up paint drying after a day for me. I've been waiting to try out this system (color paint and leveler) on my 2006 Mazda later today if I have time. If I have time today, I will post results of my usage experience.

Might be late, but if the paint is as soft as my '13 Toyota RAV4, a white LC flat 5.5" pad with Menzerna SF4500 does a fantastic job removing swirls and shallow RIDS (using PC, GG6 or Rupes LHR 15 ES). It also makes the metal flake in the paint pop really well. You will be pleased!

303 is great for the interior, it lasts long and protects well. Not so much for exterior as it doesn't last too long and can be washed away from the rain.

MF will give faster cutting (correction) and foam will polish down better (newbie too based on what I read. I use foam all the time, but yet to use MF). I used LC 5.5" flat white pad with SF4500 this weekend with a Rupes 15 and was really impressed with it. Taking the pad off the Rupes BP was...

About $130 with shipping ($74 for the buffer and $56 to ship). I don't know if there's a duty tax to pay.

Totally agree!

So, is it pronounced rU - pez or rU - peas?

Rupes LHR 15ES, 16 Rupes foam pads and Metro Sidekick. Can't wait to try them out this weekend.

Lowepro micro trekker 200 backpack served me well for almost 10 years and it's still in great shape. I went on a trip to Europe seven years ago and bought a Lowepro slingshot 200 AW for that. Since that trip, I went back to the backpack since that could carry my SB900 flash, two lenses...

Great find and thanks for sharing. Must head out there after work :xyxthumbs:

I'm Rick, count me as a Meguiars fan!

+1 :p

I've always had good luck with MX-7, but outside of Hawaii, I wouldn't know where to get this.

Very nice well thought out list. Enjoy your early Christmas present! :xyxthumbs:

The CREE bulbs are a lot brighter than stock IMO. See this thread http://www.rav4world.com/forums/125-4-4-exterior-2013-model/112017-cree-led-backup-light-bulbs.html

I had hazing on the hood from the Collinite 845 about three hours after I applied and wiped it off. I read about this and seems common. It's been 80 degrees all day and car is parked in the garage so I didn't think I would run into this problem. Used QD and wiped it down again and all is good...

License plate bulbs were VLED's found here http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/miniature-wedge-base/194-168-158-led/white-5k/5k-white-high-power-led-bulbs-194-168-158-1-pair.html Reverse bulbs were CREE 5w T15 LED's found here...

Just finished with the 845. It is more work to take off by hand than Menzerna Power Lock (both applied by DA buffer). I'll have to see how it holds up. It does shine well, but so did Power Lock. At this point, I could live with just using PL. 303 Aerospace Protectant is not a cleaner...

I have a '13 RAV4 in Spruce mica (dark green with gold metallic flake). I use a GG6 with Menzerna SF 4500 on a white 5.5" flat LC pad to remove light swirls from and give the paint that extra "pop" if or when needed. I use Menzerna Power Lock sealant and it really looks great. I am about to...

No noticeable smell to me.
