    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    So you are diluting Meg's HCW 3:1 with water?

    Specifically for wheels because I am assuming you already have a base coat of something?

    I am intrigued...

    Yeah a member here on AG, from another country and I can't remember for the life me, posted about using this way. IIRC he too wasn't too impressed with this product (terrible directions) and found a use for it.

    Anywho I have Sonax sprayed on there from months ago and just kept topping them up and since I have plenty of Meg's HCW to use, 3/4 of an undiluted bottle, I'm using it up for my rims. It does make cleaning them easier but then again I stay ontop of my carWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Also I read that IGL Premier has a shelf life and since my bottle is plenty expired, according to a member, I've sprayed this product on the rims too. Both products I spray liberally, let sit for quite some time and then rinse off. I have to say my rims always look good, easy to clean and bead pretty well!!

    I have full strength HCW on the rims of the Tacoma and the Lexus

    I started with the Apex method of dry paint, barely misting an applicator with water, and a SMALL spray of HCW spread as far as it would go and buffed off

    I have to say I liked it immediately

    I have been using the spray on and pressure wash off method for topping off at maintenance washes but feel I am wasting 75% of the product out of the sprayer since it's so globby

    I am going to try your method and see how it works

    In the name of science and stuffs

    Thanks

    See your post is my problem with it, not you but others had to figure out how to use it...UNACCEPTABLE! Not only that but the sh!tty leaking bottlesWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? The directions don't say you've gotta lay down the product first AND THEN it can be used as a spray on, hose off product but even then, it's just too thick and doesn't Mist, all over the boardWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Since this I've used/liked Adam's Guard and Gloss and recently Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax, which I'm on my 3rd bottle of right now! This is the most under the radar product out there, maybe Turtle Wax should hire a sky writer or something What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yeah even Meg’s own videos failed to get the whole picture across and a couple of them flat contradicted each other

    I know Waxmode has a method as well that’s a variation of the Apex and it’s probably pretty good as well but it’s totally off label, just like Apex

    I hear you on the sprayer

    Reminds me of 15 years ago and the new Optimum Hyper Polish

    Spraying that stuff was soooo frustrating

    More of it went into space than on the pad

    I got to where I just sprayed the panel

    I have some TW WetWax but I have a few sprays of some Optimum Spray Wax to finish before I break it out

    I will certainly keep you posted

    It's the only TW product I have bought since I was a teenager (I'm 65)

    I like the simplicity of their Hybrid Solutions product line and as stuff in my arsenal gets depleted I think I will pick up more of their products

    Have a great rest of your weekend

    They seem to spread and remove the spray on wipe off products a lot better than the Eagle Edgeless. I always had an issue with the Griots 3 in 1 and the Ceramic Speed Shine leaving streaks behind. The Plush Edgeless seem to remove the product better without streaking.
    I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.
