    What carnauba waxes won't stain trim?

    Thanks for the help everyone. I am careful when I do it and tape off everything, but with as much as there is on this car, most of my details are at least have one polish step because by the time I clean the dressing off the trim with APC (so the tape will stick), tape, wax and reapply...

    What carnauba waxes won't stain trim?

    I thought that was the way things were going, but wasn't 100% sure. I'm not very familiar with Dodo, which of there's would be recommended for a black metallic paint? Thanks for the help everyone :xyxthumbs:

I recently made my first forray into the canauba world with Meguiar's Gold Class and found that I like the carnauba look a lot better than the high gloss look I got from NXT or Ultimate Wax. I only have one real issue witth the Gold Class...

    2012 Volt - Full Correction

    Setec- How far do you live from where you work, you can get 35-40 miles on a full charge, and after that the car still gets mpg in the upper 30s when running on gas. It's not a cure all and people that live in urban or more densely populated areas do get a bigger benefit from the technology...

    2012 Volt - Full Correction

    So nice to see a response like that. It was a fun program to work on. It really is a breakthrough technology and strategy that doesn't get the credit it deserves. BTW, thanks for your purchase and keeping me employed :-).

    New or Classic?

    I don't know how old you are or what your favorite car is now or was as a child, but my advice to you is to find the fun car that REALLY tugs at the heart strings, no matter what age, and buy it if you can afford it. You will have no regrets. It might be today's latest exotic or yesteryears...

    Difference(s) between Meg's Final Inspection, Last Touch, and Synthetic Spray Detailer?

    I don't know much about #34. But I use a lot of 135. It can be used for removing light dust and fingerprints and leaves behind a very nice high gloss, sealant type shine. It also has some of Meguiars polymer technology in it that helps boost the water beading of whatever wax you currently have...

    Bird poop residue - Time for DA polisher?

    You may or may not need a DA, but regardless you are going to need some kind of polishing compound to try and level things out around the etching. I'm most familiar with Meguiar's and it's easy to obtain so I would pick up some Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish, give that a try by hand with...

    Thank you to all you AutoGeeks out there.

    Thanks guys, I guess I should've anticipated that question. I came in at the tail end of the 2008 Cadillac CTS launch and was actually the lead for the 2009 V-Series (Sedan and coupe). Shortly after that launched, our team won the business for the Chevy Volt and I took that from development to...

    Meguiar's QD, UQDNX2, or Quick wax?

    What are you looking for? Durability or the "wet" look? If you're looking for durability I would actually recommend looking for their Ultimate Quik Wax. It's available at most Walmarts and other big box stores and does a good job of water beading and leaves a pretty nice shine. Try a bottle and...

It also happens to be the last car my dad worked on at Chrysler and my company is the OE supplier for the exhaust. So that car is particularly near and dear to my heart. I plan...
