    New guy with some questions

    Hmmm So far as I can tell swirl removers and swirl fillers are mutually exclusive. There are some products that contain both cleaners and fillers, but they don't generally correct as much as one would hope. Again, I think your best bet is to go with a filler like the NXT Wax. Meguiars...

    Cloudy Instrument Panel

    "Meg's PlastX is more aggressive than Mothers. Meg's is good for correction like on headlights but it will leave a slight haze " I went ahead and tried the PlastX. I didn't notice any marring, but PlastX leaves a protective film that may be covering that up. It did a pretty good job and...

    The "Mex" get all the business

    I was under the impression that the "mex" question tied into the "how much are they getting paid" question, since the post revolves around the price of the service. I agree with the other posts that the mention of race here has negative implications. I'm still giving him the benefit of the...

    The "Mex" get all the business

    How is their work? There used to be a guy at my work who came around with a 16oz cup of water and a dirty rag and people actually paid him to wash their cars. Either they didn't know what he was using, or they were just that ignorant, but I'm talking full FL sun in a hot asphalt parking lot...

    Cloudy Instrument Panel

    Okay, I just read the product descriptions for both of the Mother's and Meg's products. It looks like I will give the Meg's a try since I have it on hand. Thanks for the suggestion, I forgot I had it and the bottle doesn't say anything about instrument panels (although the webshop does) so I...

    Cloudy Instrument Panel

    Mother's Plastic Polish... Would that be anything like Meg's PlastX?? I have some Meg's on hand! Plexus... Would that really polish out the haze or is it more of a protectant? How does it compare to DP Plex-All? And can you use Plex-All on tint like Plexus?

    Cloudy Instrument Panel

    Oh btw, I have Klasse Cleaner/Protectant. Is that safe to use on the clear plastic, or will it give me more problems?

    Cloudy Instrument Panel

    That clear plastic over my instrument panel has some cloudy spots. What can I use to get them out and restore it? I think I used a cleaner or dressng on a towel and got too close to the panel. The cloudiness is along the bottom right and right edges. There are also a couple of lines that look...

    How would you clean your wheels if..

    There are also some effective citrus cleaners out there that are suppose to cut pretty well without contributing to our toxic chemical dependencies. I haven't used one yet so I can't recommend any. But since your local laws are concerned with introducing more crap into the environment, you could...

    New guy with some questions

    Since you are working by hand I don't think you are going to accomplish a whole lot of correction. I'm sure it can be done, though... If I were you I would get the new Meg's NXT Gen Tech Wax 2.0. The paste version. I think it's around $15, and you can find it OTC at places like Wal-Mart and...

    Anyone want a free polisher?

    Mockingbird!

    It was a reindeer that my boyfriend's mother gave me for Christmas. I wasn't sure what to do with it at the time... Luckily, in this case, I never throw anything away.

    Mockingbird!

    Last week, for five days in a row I came out to my car with bird droppings on it. The same type of droppings in the same exact place. Now I don't park under power lines or trees, so for the first few days I was baffled. Then on the third day, I saw him. I looked out at my car and there's this...

    Just purchased a UDM and have a question

    Yes. You should be removing product residue with an mf after each panel. The polish will/should be broken down, but lubricant and spent abrasives will remain and should be removed. This way you can see your work. Some people like to use a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water...

    ***duragloss Users.....free Duragloss***

    Sounds like the staff is recommending the swirl remover for correction. Makes sense. I too have read many positive reviews of 501, but in none of them do users speak to it's correction abilities. The advice given you by the DG staff is actually not that different than what everyone here is...

    Foam Pad Selection Criteria

    "Wool cuts faster than lamb’s wool, foamed wools are next, then foam." Where, on this scale, would you place the 'electrified sheepskin'? Electrified sheepskin wool compounding pad, spot buff wool pad, 4 inch wool buffing pad, lake country wool pad

    Paint Chip Filling

    I usually read that you're not suppose to wax or seal fresh paint for at least 30 days. In your experience, do you feel that it is not critical to wait for this period? Is it different for small chip repairs than, say, whole panels? Also, does the fact that you used hardener make a difference...

    Hello form Daytona Beach, FL

    I'd definetly be upset if this were a high end car, considering the paint touch-up experiments I've been conducting! Yes! The men in my life (dad and boyfriend) have been incredibly supportive of my new found fanaticism. This is surprising since my man has never washed his car as long as I've...

    Water spots on glass

    I used Meg's Chrome Polish, with an LC low profile orange pad on a UDM, on one half of my windshield today. Took the water spots out nicely, and leaves a nice protective coating on the surface that beads water very well. I tried PB's SSR1 on the other half. PB's can be worked longer, which is...

    Hello form Daytona Beach, FL

    Re: Hello from Daytona Beach, FL I bought an '01 Kia Optima LX for 3K. Now I know a lot of people would question putting any kind of work into a Kia. I straddle the fence with that one, myself. But it's in great shape and looks pretty sharp. So I'm just gonna ride this out and see where the...
