  2. Re: Which is more effective: Megs 105 or Menz Power Gloss?

    Well there's a silver dollar sized spot of failed CC and a 6"X8" patch around it that's just soaking up the polish. It's hard enough getting 105 off but this is ridiculous! I keep wiping and still...
  3. Re: Which is more effective: Megs 105 or Menz Power Gloss?

    Well let me tell you guys I finally found a good use for that Ebay clay I bought two years ago. I don't know what half the $hit on that roof was but between the corner of plastic razor blade and...
  4. Which is more effective: Megs 105 or Menz Power Gloss?

    I've got a really badly oxidized roof to do on my new to me SUV and have both products to use with a yellow pad. They're the strongest I have so I'm wondering which one is more effective?
  5. Re: Menzerna Final Finish II-Grit Removal Designation

    I have a bottle of what's called Final Finish with no number designation - it's an orange and blue label - and on the back it says 1500-2000. I can not find this polish anywhere online and there's...
  6. Re: How to prevent Micromarring while removing polishing residue

    I've been using Megs 105 for the first time these past couple days and it's a huge PITA to get off. I have to use something to help remove it or it wont budge. I tried optimum QD first but it...

    Re: How cold is too cold for polishing?

    Actually if the air is 50 degrees the metal body has to be 50 degrees. It's a common misconception that metal is colder. It feels colder to the touch based on the differences between how fast metal...

    How cold is too cold for polishing?

    I've been having some problems getting a hood shined up and I was thinking about how cold it's been in the garage lately and how maybe that's having an effect. Normally I work in the spring/summer...
  9. Re: So how much oxidation can Megs 105 take off exactly?

    Oh well I have no 101 and the yellow pad won't be here till Wednesday at the earliest. I've gone over the really bad strip down the center of the hood four times now with both types of orange pad...
  10. Re: So how much oxidation can Megs 105 take off exactly?

    Hey guys. It's definitely clear coat. I have gotten better results with 105 and an orange hydro pad and two ful applications. It is getting shiny, but the worst parts still look kind of dull. Almost...
  11. So how much oxidation can Megs 105 take off exactly?

    I'm doing a 97 land cruiser in fairly good condition I guess, lots of swirls, but the hood is a whole other story. It almost looks like flat paint thats extremely dull, especially over the straight...

    Re: Washing Towel Frequency?

    Which towels? Waxing towels? Yes. Polishing towels? Yup. I think the only ones you can skip a wash on would be a drying towel, but I still wash mine 98% of the time just to be sure it didn't pick up...

    Re: Semi-Glossy Tire Shine Product that.....

    I've been using forever black but it's not very shiny. Before that I used the Optimum product and it lasted a while and had a nice sheen to it.

    Re: How to get dried wax out of cracks?

    I bought a megs detailing brush made just for this in an auto store. It's brown and has three different kinds of stiff bristles on it. It's VERY effective. No matter where the wax has been stuck...
  16. Re: Dealership offering "Polysteel Enviromental Protection" really?

    Well it's a "poly" polymer product that goes on "steel" cars so the name is perfectly normal - in marketing land.

    They wait till the next generation who hopefully never heard of dealer paint seal ...

    Re: Sealants

    I was using the same two products and then went to Pinnacle LS on top of the Wolfgang DGPS and it looks really deep now. The WG was very good, and lasts longer than just about anything, but the LS on...
  18. Re: Acceptable way to measure if I've used enough soap?

    I use one of those 3oz looped measuring cups from AG and follow directions. Using too little soap is one problem but using too much will strip the wax faster, and I don't like waxing the cars more...

    Re: Will APC or APC+ affect sealant?

    I put a coat of WGDGPS and a coat of Pinnacle LS on mine. Unfortunately not all surfaces are shiny to begin with of course, but where they are it's like glass now. People are always surprised by...

    Re: which MF towels for QD?

    My favorite towels are the ultra plush Pakshak towels.

    The big Cobra gold 530 is nice too.

    Re: Recommendations for Toyota or VW paint?

    I have a Silverstone grey VW and really like pinnacle liquid souveran wax. It's super easy to use, goes a long way, lasts a long time and looks fantastic. Lots of jetting and depth.
    For cleaning I...
  22. Baking Soda solution for emergency bird poop?

    Sometimes when you're not home part of the poop will be really stuck and won't come loose with just QD and a towel, unless you rub hard and risk scratching the paint. I wonder if carrying a spray...

    Re: Detailing Non-Black Trim?

    Yeah cleaning is a good idea. Some of the haziness could be old wax that shouldn't be there.

    Re: You paid how much for that wax?

    Some products in general are priced higher just to give the perception that they're better. This applies to any category of product, from women's shoes to car waxes I'm sure.
