It's a little of both, really. It's only driven on nice days when the grounds and roads are dry, but it is usually driven 2-3 days a week. I care for it like a garage queen, but it does get used.

I was in your shoes not even a week ago. No experience with a DA polisher, and was totally lost in a sea of compounds & polishes. Do yourself a favor, if your brother is OK with it (or you both split it) buy a Griots Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher, a 5" backing plate, a few 5.5" orange and...

Hi all, Now that I am nearly done compounding/polishing the car, it will soon be time for wax. For years I've used Meguiars waxes, and been perfectly happy with them. (Gold Class, then switched to NXT 2.0 ~2010) Usually I apply Liquid Glass, then that on top of it. My new car is called "Ivory...

Liquid Glass Car Care Products, Auto Polish Finish, paint sealant, paint protection, car wax, nautical liquid glass, wash concentrate, protectant Now it's back? :confused: On back order though. That's OK, I can be patient. :D

I don't know, but I'd really like to find out. I called their number, went to voicemail, haven't had a call back yet. Liquid Glass has excellent durability, I usually apply a coat every few months, and it always stays tightly beaded. I hadn't used LG (or any wax/sealant) on my old 1994 for a...

Is there a thread on this? Curious to see what else what cut. Dang. :( I can't say I'm really surprised, I think I was the only person in the area to buy it from the local stores here.

I know it's a tad expensive, but it's totally worth it. Best sealant I've ever used. First time I used it was on a beat up old farm truck that hadn't seen anything but the occassional DAWN dish soap wash once in a blue moon, and that pinkish hazy paint looked like a deep glossy red after just...

Hi all, I'm building an order for this coming week, and I can't find the Liquid Glass Auto Polish in the store anymore. Did they go out of business? Their website is down too. I swear you folks had some just a month or two ago. None of the local auto parts stores carry it now either. I can...

That's next. :D

Hi all, Been quite busy, haven't had a ton of time for compounding, but here is one more Before and After... (well, After/Before, I guess). You can see on the left how much more detail has been restored to the tree branches and bush leaves, compared to the right side of the hood. I'm...

Hi all, Shaun, sending you a PM shortly, I greatly appreciate your offering of services. :D First off, thank you all so much for the assistance. Didn't have too much daylight to work with, but with the hour or so I did have, I went to work. All I can say is WOW. I mean, for my first time...

Hi there, I mean emblems like this: Lincoln "Cartier" Gold Emblem | eBay It's a gold plated plastic emblem, there are several on the exterior, saying Cartier, Town Car, etc. I just grouped in the wiper arms, rubber, etc.because I also don't really know what to use with it. Unfortunately...

Hi all, I apologize if this has been posted before (it no doubt has, but I'm likely not using the right search keywords) but I am wondering what all you folks use to protect the little trim parts that cannot be waxed easily? For example, My car has script emblems on it that say "Lincoln"...

Hi ski, Thank you for all the assistance here and via PM, you've been most helpful. It's on the way! Griots Orbital, 9 pads, 5.5 backing plate, and Optimum Compound/Polish. Let's just hope it's as user friendly as it's been stated. 8) Thanks for the help all!

One last question before I order: I see the Wolfgang Swirl Remover states that it is designed (more or less) for Ceramic Clear Coats, which my car does not have. Will using it damage my clear? What user friendly, well respected products would be good to use if the Wolfgang Twins are not...

Ok then, Griots it is then. Now, I'm going to get the combo with the Wolfgang Twins, and 3 pads for $169. What else do I need? A member here said I would need a total of 4 orange pads, and 4 white pads (and a grey one, if I wanted to wax with the DA).....what brand of pads are best to get...

That's the kind of response I was looking for. :D I'm fine with buying something that is more efficient at doing it's job, but when there is also a (higher) danger of damaging the paint, I'd hate for my lack of experience with a DA ruin a perfectly nice car. Here are a few photos of the...

Hi Dave, Thank you for the response, (as well as everyone else, just replying mainly to Dave at the moment) here is what I know. The car itself was very well maintained, lived it's life in a garage, and wasn't driven very regularly, and only in nicer weather (your typical "little old lady...

Thanks! :D I might have both of those in the shed, just have to remove all the junk to get in there. Actually, I didn't realize a new PC could be picked up for $120 shipped, I might very well pick one up. Is it a good tool for a beginner to use? If need be, I'll buy a hood at a junkyard...

Hi all, I recently picked up a real nice garaged Lincoln Town Car that looks beautiful, aside from the fact it appears to have been treated from time to time with a brush-style car wash. The paint still shines really well, and looks new, but when the sun hits it just right (or especially...
