    Giveaway! New DP Products!

    I honestly haven't used any of the DP products as of yet. I've ordered some of the "higher line" products for my red car based on recommendations. I saw the new product intro from Nick yesterday morn and immediately started thinking about coating my wife's silver Elantra with the new paint...

    Meguiars Ultimate spray wax.

    Yeah, there's a thread on it somewhere in here. A guy kinda documents his visit. I'd only seen one guy in the store, Paul Knopf, I assume the owner. This past weekend there were two new (I hadn't seen em) guys. They carry the mirror line, and a lot of the retailer line, ordering the rest in...

    Meguiars Ultimate spray wax.

    I don't know how wide spread the Mirror Glaze stores are, but the one in Louisville carries it. I got a gallon on Saturday for 35 bucks. I hadn't used the ultimate quik yet, but I knew from the reviews that I couldn't go wrong. I did the wife's Elantra Saturday and my Milan on Sunday and I...

    Tires and tire pressures

    So you put more than an inch additional width and more than an inch worth of tire height on your wife's car, after over inflating the tires and causing a blow out? Did you do this research and decide a 245/50 was a good idea or did the dealer recommend this size to you? I'm not trying to be a...

    help me pick a compound

    Start with your d300 and a mf cutting disc. It's; a great compound and finishes extremely well, especially if you're not wanting to go 3+ steps. Try something else IF than doesn't work, I bet you'll be surprised by how well it does. Otherwise, you're just putting your project off for a week...

    Cleaning leather question

    I use the Megs d103 APC+ on my Mercury leather and wife's Hyundai leather, have yet to see color transfer. I go 1:10 as well. Spray, massage, light mist to re-wet, fingernail brush to agitate, the wipe with clean mf. So far so good in our cars. Try an area of the back seat, at the bottom face of...

    Any experience with used car purchase details?

    Claying really is a piece of cake. It will be time consuming the first few times, the clay will stick to your hands and gloves, and you will drop your clay at least once (do NOT re-use dropped clay!) But once you feel how smooth that paint is, it's all worthwhile. Break the panels up the same...

    Vacation Spray wax find

    I got the Griots speed shine too and I really don't like the product for anything more than a clay lube, and once it runs out in that area, it won't be replenished. I've tried to like that as well as their machine polish and BOS wax but I just can't get over the hump with them. The wax does...

    Need help with everything

    I'm with Theo, if you need correction, try the D300 with the megs mf cutting pad. It's not too aggressive and has a good work time, and often you can follow right up with the sealant. It doesn't sound like you're an every weekend, after every storm kind of guy (please correct me if I'm wrong) so...

    Critical Details: Subaru Outback 2.5XT - Foam Cannon

    That had all the build up, suspense, and climax of a Tarentino flick! Great video and musical chord!

    replacement for megs hotwheels

    I use APC+ at 4:1 every weekend on wheels, tires, and wells and I really do get good results. It doesn't foam at all when using my Daytoa and Mothers brushes, which really threw me off at first, but now I rather like it. Doesn't seem like there's as much slinging of the product when there's...

    Yellow Nissan 370Z Wash&Wax---Pinnacle Sig ll Wax !!

    It must be a secret ingredient on that engine because just about everybody wants to know the process and somehow we still find ourselves asking. Kinda like colonel Sanders, it got hooked up with the secreet recipe, and like a greasy fried chicken, we can all comment and congratulate but won't...

    Please help me fill in the gaps

    Just a quick note in the Megs M21, it's a good product but can stain trim and hates the sun/heat. It's actually a bit better to use the consumer line with the Ultimate Wax. Same easy on, off process but won't stain and isn't as temp sensitive. It really is the newest longest lasting paint...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    You know your car looks good when not even a Wal-Mart parking lot can drag down the depth! I couldn't be happier that I found the AG community when I did!

    Window Tint

    Thanks! I def think it looks good, now it better serve it's purpose! Yes, full warranty for fade, peel, bubble and non abusive scratching. I know that last one is subject to interpretation but I really do feel confident that if I mar it in my window or track felt cleaning, that I'll be taken...

    Window Tint

    Well gentlemen, and ladies if there are any. Here she is all cleaned up after a day at the tint shop. Suntek Carbon (even with the one recommendation against Suntek, this line has exceptional reviews and performance) 25 all the way around. I got talking to the shop manager and owner and they...
