    Don't throw it out just yet

    Good advice. That's why I keep those little 2oz sample bottles after they're used up. They make a perfect container for products that are good to the last drop.

    Suggestions for grey metallic

    I've had beading last for around 3 months, and wash my truck about 3x per month. Since I enjoy waxing it, I'm okay with that. One draw back that I have noticed with Meg's is blushing or ghosting on my wife's midnight blue Tahoe, but I can' tree it on the light silver/gray.

    Suggestions for grey metallic

    I use BF Wet Diamond and Meg's Gold Class Carnauba paste on a slate gray Tundra. It really popped the metallic and has very gloss. I did try BD Midnight Sun on half the hood to compare it to Meg's, but couldn't see a difference and it was 8x the price of Meg's. (Perhaps it was the color of my...

    Do not use this method on your car!!!!

    I don't need to use this method because my local car dealer does it this way for me whenever I go in for service.

    3401 plate damage

    I just used my Flex 3401 with the 4" backing plate for the first time and did a full size Tundra and a Tahoe including the roofs. I am sold on the LC kit, and will keep an eye on it after reading this helpful thread. Although I'm not expecting any problems, it's great to see both the OEM and...

    Wheel Well & Underbody Spray

    I have used the 3M rubberized undercoating and really like it. I used it in the fender wells of my FJ40 Landcruiser and it holds up well. I have also used it to "freshen" the wheel wells after time. It is relatively thick, but one coat hides everything. It has a texture to it and is very...

    New convert here

    I just used my Flex 3401 for the first time and now see what many of you have been saying..............I love it! My only other experience was with a PC 7424 and what a difference. While I really like the 7424, the forced rotation of the flex is so much more efficient. I just did a dark blue...

    Wax is hazing after removal, what am I doing wrong?

    I just saw this thread after a search. I had the ghosting issue appear on the hood of a midnight blue Tahoe about a day after I waxed it. I used Megs Gold Class Carnauba Paste wax over BFWD after a 24 hour cure, and it was in the upper 80s in my garage. It looked perfectly clear until my wife...

    water less wash products

    My local Orielly's stock Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere. It's a little pricey at about $12.50, but the product is fantastic.

    How would you section this hood?

    I have a 3 step utility step that I use to wash the roof. It's not as stable as I'd like and I'm thinking about getting a Werner platform since I'll be spending so much time off the ground. I'd thought about removing the rack also as it looks like it would be easier in the long run. Good to...

    How would you section this hood?

    Thanks for the replies. I've been using a PC but have just received a new Flex3401 and want to give it a try. The roof on this thing has a number of reinforcing ridges running the length of it and I plan to use 5" pads on it. I think the roof alone, will be an all-day job.

    Anybody having trouble with Mikes new book?

    I have had that problem with other iBooks. Try closing all of the apps that are running in the in the background that you don't need. That has always solved it for me. I think it has to do with the number of system resources being used. BTW.......Mike's new iBook is great and loaded with...

    How would you section this hood?

    After reading a lot on AGO and Mike's iBook, I'd like ideas on how to best section this 2007 Tahoe hood for polishing. In particular, how should I handle the raised "muscle buldges" relative to the lower horizontal sections? I realize the OEM clear is thin and am concerned about eventually...
