Just an update: 10 days later and I've read lots of threads. I'm still finding stuff I needed I buy - like vinyl tape to cover the edges (yesterday) and Iron X to do before the claying (today). I think the UPS driver thinks I've hit the lottery as a new box arrives every day. Hopefully by...

I was about to add that as a newbie I'm more confused than ever after reading the thread about bird excrement removal. What is "1:1 IPA" mentioned above? Can't find IPA in the Acronyms threads. What is a simple way to remove bird poop that doesn't involve a science degree? Do I gather that I...

Interesting! I'd no idea that waxes dry out (newbie). Is there an advantage to storing wax in the fridge? During the summer, our garage gets fairly hot, but I have a small fridge in there so I could easily put my mini Fuzion wax in there. What about other waxes (bottles and carnauba wax in...

Thank you all! Eco Touch Wheel Cleaner looks like a fine choice, and I've bookmarked P21S as well. I agree that the EU is often far ahead of the US as far as this stuff goes. The 1Z products from German Einszett also look good, although nearly all the Amazon reviews said that their wheel...

hi Monica! So glad to hear that! I'm petite but have good hand-eye coordination, and I mastered a rotary sander so hoping it's at least less dusty…! I didn't realize there was a Pink Flex until today! So bummed - would have loved the pink one. I got the Flex Intro kit that came with a Flex bag...

Hi all, I'm a newbie researching products to clean my Miata. I live in a pine forest, and am concerned about washing my car and letting the run-off flow into the natural environment outside my garage. As a artist/printmaker, the last few years has seen a whole new set of non-toxic printmaking...

I ordered a Flex last week and waiting for it to arrive. As a complete newbie I'm reading the forums to learn as much as I can. I found a mention of a Limited Edition PINK Flex, and I'm wondering why pink, and why limited? I would have LOVED the option of buying a nice pink one - although purple...

Thanks MarkD51! Nice to connect with someone who understands NM dust...! Great info; will have to check out more local auto stores. (I usually only go in for art supplies like bondo scrapers!) Fortunately I can keep the car in the garage, and I have a nice cover for it now (should have done...

Thanks Dave. Will check out the Nanoskin pads. Brett - thanks for feedback! Promise I will take pics! Yes, I like good tools - comes from being an artist and realizing that quality art supplies trumps technique every time....well, no, not really, but they do help! I like printmaking, which...

Never mind last question! I think I have figured out the plan of action. I ordered the LC Flex changeable plate + 5" Hybrid pads (polishing & finishing). I bought the Wolfgang Fuzion Mini Wax kit, and a clay kit plus the pink Opti-Eraser. After I clean and clay, I'll test a section using the...

re: Wolfgang Uber/Finsihing Glaze Thanks for the tip. "Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 is a water-based emulsion with ultra fine diminishing abrasives that gently polish the paint to a brilliant gloss. Compounding swirls, mild oxidation, and water spots disappear to reveal glassy smooth...

Thank you all, what a nice group! Don't worry, the Meg. kit included the Ultimate Polish as well as the Compound (which I will use as a last resort really as I am so scared of messing up!). I also added the Meg. A3714 Compound Water Spot Remover which I assume is more gentle than the Polish...

Looking forward to learning how to take care of my 2013 Mazda Miata. We live in the mountains with snow and grit on the roads in the winter, so it's my fair-weather car. My husband's car is a Ford Escape Hybrid, and in bad weather we both drive it. But I was so fed up with the mediocre job...
