Coming from a black car (BMW) to a more silver colored car (Infiniti)...for me it was a godsend. I don't like the extended maintenance required on black cars. Some do, I'm not one of them.

Thanks for the responses. I have done trim on my roadster and it works great, but it just seems to fall flat on tires. Maybe I just need to get something else.

bump for advice. How do you guys use HD? Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Typical dilution?

Honestly I'm not sure, it has been awhile since I last mixed some together because I'm kind of afraid to use it. I've seen the stuff used on many cars nicer than mine with fantastic results so I'm curious as to what I'm doing wrong!!

Hello, I was curious if I'm the only one to have this problem. I'm using Meg's HD to do my tires / trim on my car and a lot of times after I apply it, the tires turn into an awful milky color after the HD dries. I don't have pics I'm afraid, but it isn't a pretty medium-gloss look I'm...

I don't mean to double post, but what would be a good Meg's glaze to apply before I apply wax? Should I shoot for something with a light cut in it? I see M0716, M0616, etc. Would love some pointers. I'm sure the OP wouldn't mind knowing too :D

I use the Meg's Detailer Line products as well. Hyper dressing, wheel brightener, APC, etc. You control the strength so the flexibility is amazing especially with what you pay in price. I bought this stuff two years ago and I'm still using it!

Here is my car with Griot's Best of Show Wax (used Griot's clay and orbital to do the detail): Bead

I have their "Best of Show" wax on both of my cars right now... Surface feels smooth and it is very easy to maintain. Beads pretty nice as well.

This will be my first try at a heavy correction. I have done wax only passes with my Griots with very good results. I don't have an orange LC pad, but I'm thinking I may need to get a couple for this correction along with some glaze. Thanks again for the tips everyone.

Wow. I hope one day I get that good at detailing.

Hey, check out this chart autogeek has on the hierarchy of a full detail. That should answer what you are asking I think!

Alright. I'm convinced. I'm going to pick up some glaze to help out! Thanks for the tips. I bought the car with 114k miles and the paint was rough since day 1. I'd like to take a serious attempt at making it better. :buffing: I agree! Thanks for the tips and links.

Really? The deep scratches would be lessened? Heck I'll take anything with the mileage it has. Now let me ask this: I am thinking LC Pads M105/M205 Then should I go straight to wax or use a glaze first? Would there be a good benefit to do a glaze before the wax? Sorry if that sounds a...

Hey everyone, Just curious about my paint... It is pretty bad in parts. Lots of deep RIDS and some spots were the last owner tried to use touch up paint to fix it but failed miserably. I plan to polish using Lake County Pads and M205/M105 (using a Griot's polisher), but I'd like to get some...

Really? Oh man, I just wasted $20 on one of these things... dang it :( Thanks for the pointers.

I hate to bump an old thread, but I just got a Duo Spur for "On the Fly" Pad cleaning, and I plan to polish my car this week. Duo Spur Wool & Foam Pad Cleaning Tool: Scrub dirty pads clean with this multi-pupose cleaning tool! I only have 6 LC pads (each a different color), and honestly, I...

Amazing work. This car is one of my all time favorites. It isn't the fastest, but the sex appeal, emotions you get when you look at it, etc. is just undeniable.

Wow!! Car looks showroom new. I was thinking it had about 50k miles or something really low on it.

I'd definitely be doing waterless, as it is about 30 degrees here in KY!
