I've also been using Meguiar's D120 for years and think it is among the best I've used. If you are not seeing good results I'd suggest trying with it with NEW microfibers. If you are getting streaking, it might be due to something left in the towels after laundering.

I have a Bose radio in the garage that sounds great and I listen to XM via a iPod/iPhone base adaptor.

It looks like clear coat failure to me as well. 1994 = 21/22 year old paint. You can chase this for a while with polish and maybe a coating but if you are planning on restoration, I'd budget for re-paint.

You are not missing the spacer washer on the backing plate by chance?

I use a pink eraser along with a knife to cut the eraser to a sharp edge for tight seams. This pulls the residue right out.

Many, many years ago, my first paying job was for a limo service. The owner only allowed me to use kerosene in a bucket of water to wash his fleet. They were washed almost daily so wax was not needed. Kerosene did prevent rust pretty well and after washing and a gentle cotton towel buffing...

It is a cream when applied to the applicator sponge but a couple squeezes and it turns into a thin liquid so does not block any perforations when applied.

I use Leather Masters Protection Cream on my heated and ventilated seats in my Lexus. I've been meaning to try Meguiar's protector but have not seen it yet. I like the fact that it stops dye transfer from jeans and leather belts.

I use LM Strong Leather cleaner diluted 50/50 with hot water. Part of the CHAT method of leather cleaning. C=Chemical Cleaner or Detergent H=Heat A=Agitation T=Time, as in dwell time. With any cleaner, I use a wrung out cotton towel to remove all traces of the cleaner/detergent residue prior...

FWIW, None of my bottles of UQW are like a cream, nor are they any thicker than my jug of D156. Sounds like you may be comparing ULW rather than UQW.

A couple more tips I recall from Mike... Use a towel to break the surface film that has semi-dried and use another towel to buff. If you have hard to remove areas use some more #7 to re-dissolve it and buff it off. Great product for older single stage paint. I used to apply #7 OVER my LSP...

I want to win 303!

Young pups... ;) I'm 72 and still detailing. Maybe only one a week now. The key for me is to stay physically active. I do about 30 minutes of exercise and light weights to loosen up and I jog a mile every morning to slow muscle mass from disappearing and stay fit. After age 40 we all...

This is more than just how I use the i-devices but this whole system just works really well for me. I use my iPhone 6 to take before and after shots of the vehicles I do (inside and out). I shoot close-up photos of areas where correction may likely not be possible. This becomes my Vehicle...

Lexus has announced an extended repair on some vehicles with this problem. They are replacing the sticky dash and door panels on the following vehicles. ES 350 2007-2008 GX 470 2003-2008 IS 250/350 2006-2008...

I'd take those units to your nearest P-C service center (most ACE Hardware stores) and have new brushes installed and have the gearhead cleaned and lubed. Have the power cord checked along with the speed switch and they should last for years. These models may be old but most were built in the US...

Don't overlook Meg's Ultimate Quik Wax (a sealant) a.k.a. D156. Inexpensive, fast, doesn't dry white or stain trim and can be used in the sun. No streaking either and it last two to three weeks. So easy to use (wowo) that I use it after every wash.

With proper washing and drying you could just apply Meguiar's Paint Protect (claims to last 365 days). Wash every couple weeks and spray with D156. Really easy and inexpensive process for a daily driver that takes very little time.

There is an extensive forum thread about this product on the Meguiars forum. I haven't used it but the reviews of the product seem interesting. It was not recommended for use on glass over there.
