    Dano, another chart please

    Great chart but we need more. The charts I would like to see are as follows, one that had sun safe products and one that had products that don't stain the trim. I don't know enough myself but p21s wax does not stain. Maybe just add to the other one. here are a few I have found so far...

    Happy Birthday Baby

    Happy Birthday baby I'm the orginal owner of this 1985 4000S (baby) Quattro, I even imported it myself back in back in the day of grey market cars. It was (is) US legal version so consequently all I had to do was take the Fahrzeugbrief to DMV and they gave me a NJ title and registration. I...

    39001 vs 39002

    I'm practicing on my 10 year old Windstar. I know it was never detailed or polished and saw lots of automatic car washes. Anyway I started on the hood. It was completely swirled but no holograms. I worked on it for about 2 hours in small sections and am pretty satisfied with the results, I...

    I can see clearly now......

    I know lots of autopians have said it but I just gave it a try. I had used Stoner's IG and loved it but once you put a QD on top of it you will just love it. If you noobies havn't tried a QD to clean windows you don't know what you are missing.

    Claying in the rain .......

    Car is clean and wet. Light showers in cental jersey to be followed by heavy showers and 44 degrees. Clay a car in the rain, add a little soap, it is really easy and it does a self rinse. Did the whole car in 15 minutes and barely got wet. I like to just keep picking away at tasks and the...

    Trying to remove some swirls and holograms from 2004 Eternal Blue Pearl Honda CRV. Used green Sonus pad and Megs 80 and it made great improvement in swirls but the holograms were still there. Should I step up to the Sonus orange pad and Megs 80? You can't see the holograms in the first shot...

    toothpaste and smudge on plastic

    I'm traveling currently and don't have any cleaning items with me. I would imagine that plexol might be best, but I don't have any. Anyway I got a small smudge/rub on my GPS screen, which is plastic and wonder if toothpaste and a cloth is okay to use, I've heard it was good for some glass...

    ScratchX vs Megs 80

    I worked a couple of light scratches on my roof with Scratch X for about 10 minutes and applied it 4 times and sure enough it improved them quite a bit but they were still visible. Then I took out the pc and put a little Megs 80 on a green sonus pad. In about 2 minutes of working it I stopped...

    Okay, I have a beeter that I can practice on. It is a 88 Chevy Nova (it's all Toyota). It is called gray by the dealer but I think if you imagine gunmetal gray you would get the idea. It was my Dad's and never got much attention. Anyway I started working on the trunk lid, it is flat and only...

    1 Clean WS6 - why megs #80?

    I'm really sure that Lola was beautiful before you started this detail so I'm wondering why you would go with Megs #80. I've read that it is not as abrasive as the number on the bottle (4?) but couldn't you've gotten by with Machine Glaze #3. Excuse me in that I have not used #80 yet but it...
