    Meguiar's Paint Protect (spray version)

    Going to have to try this again with a better bottle. Tried some and it jammed the sprayer I was using. Then again it was a cheap sample size sprayer.

    Wonder why Autogeeks don't want dealers washing your new vehicle? LOOK at THIS! #Ooops

    What's sad is that so many cars go through this abuse at the dealer. When I picked up my new C250 the dealer was so confused when I asked them not to wash it. Lol even the GM came out and was like "to be clear, this is the first time a customer has requested that we DON'T wash the car."

    Top 5 Worse Car "Uprgrades"

    As an 18 year old who's super lucky to have a Benz. I can attest that I hate when I see fake badging like that. Makes me ashamed to see other people my age or even older ruin an already respectable car.

    Hello AGO!! Collinite 845 filmy haze.

    That might be the issue. Often times new paint jobs have overspray just as a side effect of being in that kind of environment. It's always good to clay before waxing as it insures a truly clean surface for the wax to bond to.

    2007 335i Spa day

    I notice you didn't list a finishing polish step. Were you able to skip the step due to the nature of the paint and color? Reason I ask is because I'm doing a silver 3 series tomorrow and would rather not waste time on doing a polishing step if the MF pads and some UC could finish out ok.

    Who's staying up to preorder the new iPhone?

    I stayed up and ordered mine because my iPhone 5 refuses to charge even after it's 3rd battery swap so I've basically given up on it. Excited though for the new features because I love the way Apple lays things out. I've have owned a few androids and every generation of the "non S" model iPhones...

    Show 'N Shine: 2006 Honda Civic - CQuartz Finest (College Prep Package)

    Wow nice job on that Civic! I started college last week and I will say it's quite scary parking near people who really couldn't care less about their car. On top of that having to park in the dirt overflow lots at times is terrible! But I can truly attest to your statement about marketing to...

    WOW! Super generous thing of you to do! I've never tried a coating but would absolutely love to try CQUK (but not opposed to opti-coat;)). I would also love to do a show n shine or whatever else you would want me to do! I should mention that I have a lease that I could put it on but it will be...

    Microfiber Towels

    Oh god not this again. Be ready for arguments back and forth. But to answer your question I'm a costco user and I find them ok. Now I don't do this professionally just my DD, family cars, and a few family friends that pay me. Are they perfect? No, but I think they are pretty decent especially...

    Giveaway! DP Power Wash + BLACKFIRE Total Trim & Tire Sealant

    I will gladly do a review! I haven't tried a product from either line but I'm most interested in Blackfire Crystal Seal as it seems like it would be a nice blend of appearance and ease of use. As for the DP line, I'm interested in the paint coating since I've been looking at a variety of coatings.

    I love using Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax on my white C250

    polish out wetsanding with griots garage polisher?

    That may work, never tried that but I will say that I've knocked out 3000 grit with Meguiar's microfiber cutting disc and M105 with no problem at all.

    Is it better to polish by hand or by machine?

    Machine is better, in particular a Dual Action polisher. A DA is better because it spins fast but also has an oscillation motion that prevents damaging your paint. By having this kind of power, the machine can cut defects faster and insure more uniform pressure and cut than you can do by hand.

    is it safe to appy carnuba wax on top of synthetic wax?

    Yes you can apply carnauba wax on top of a sealant. But most carnauba waxes don't last very long so you'll likely want to apply every 2-3 months if you want to keep that carnauba look.

    Don't throw it out just yet

    I always cut my bottles and scrape them so that I can transfer every last drop into self cleaning bottles.
