Never used water in my radiator in my life.

Straight prestone coolant.

wut????
why would he drain the rad?



i need more depth what should i use on my paint for that depth?
i straight up clayed n 845 last time

gonna strip clay n wax then seal

seal then wax....if you want you could try my combo

Klasse AIO, Klasse HGSG and then 845.

[pioneer]

I have no idea why he would have drained it/taken it off...because he didn't paint anywhere there and nothing needed straightening to warrant taking it off. Been holding this in some months now, I never visited him again because I am too young for jail.



Wanna try my HD wax ontop the 845?

HD wax won't swirl your paint.

Doh hadda declare nun skybox handles everything

[cinco]

i feel i will try Rainmans advice

[pioneer]

So wam yuh eh like how I talk dey?

[cinco]

u tryin an gimme yuh shiddy hd wax i tort yuh did was meh fren

[nemesis]

Umm... eh? How would HDWax swirl your paint?
And if you want more depth I believe you're supposed to be going more towards the natural oils and waxes rather than towards synthetics. Both Klasse products are synthetic and the 845 doesn't have much natural compared to some other waxes I believe. Granted there are some synthetic products that do give some depth, I've not seen any that can compare to oil based pre-wax cleanser topped with a wax yet. What color are you working on again? If it's a light color don't expect depth from anything. If it's dark, try some more oil based products. There are very very many around. HDwax would probably look better than the 845. Don't use it on the 845, rather replace the 845 with it and see what happens.

Pioneer : A good question is why do you use straight coolant in your radiator. Ent you supposed to use 50/50 with water?

[cinco]

no the prestone is premixed
and its white paint see the last page

[nemesis]

Premixed. Makes sense.
Oh, you eh getting no depth outta dat. Most you could do is go for a less plastic looking shine. But it eh go git depth.

thats as best as ive got it so far

[nemesis]

That not bad. Not sure how much more you can expect from white. Another thing that makes the world of difference is the actual paint. Maybe it isn't quite what you're looking for. But I honestly wouldn't expect to get much more from white.

[pioneer]

Yeah premixed nemesis


cinco try de HD wax, it doesn't swirl paint you phaggot.

neexis : Have used the Gold Class quite a bit and it will work fine for maintenance washes. Also goes reasonably well with foam guns. It's not the most concentrated on the market, but the price and ease of acquisition make it a good call.
As for the Wash and Wax. I've not used the Meguiar's version, but I would say that if it does have real wax in it, and you have a wax on your vehicle that's prone to hazing if layered or if it gets too much moisture while warm etc, then don't use the wash and wax in that case. Will cause streaking, hazing, all kinds of stuff. Only one way to know though. I actually use this to test if a wash and wax actually has anything in it to add to the finish. Put on a very sensitive wax, then foam with the wash and wax, leave a few mins, rinse off and blow dry and see if it streaks badly.

Thanks man. I was looking at Megs new car kit which has the Wash & Wax. All the other stuff looked good.
Contents:
• Meguiar's® Ultimate Wash & Wax.
• Ultra plush microfiber wash mitt & Water Magnet™ .
• Microfiber drying towel.
• Meguiar's® Ultimate Liquid Wax with a soft foam applicator.
• Supreme Shine™ Microfiber Towel.
• Endurance® Tire Gel & applicator.


Car was only delivered a week ago and I washed it once so far. I can't say what treatment was done to it (other than buffing off the transport coating).
I'll check out what's available locally... but basically I'm looking for some products for maintenance washing, cleaning tyres/rims and a lil interior touch up.

[nemesis]

Not too bad a starter kit. Lets see though... I don't particularly like their wash mitt, and the Endurance Gel is a matter of preference, I myself find it way too shiny. Otherwise the wash and the wax etc would do you well to start playing. And of course the more cloths you have around the better. The drying towel works well if you have good beading.
Are you looking strictly at kits? There are advantages to buying in kits for starters, but independent purchases may give you better choices most times.
And are you bringing in or buying locally?

[nemesis]

Some recent work. Love the red.

I'm considering whats available locally before I bring anything in.

Beading is ok for now... I just realised how shitty my old chamois cloth is.. esp since I was able to see all the water marks left behind. So definitely need a better drying cloth.

I'm not necessarily looking at kits.. It the kit components arent making that much sense, I'd just buy them individually.

any special recommendations for metallic silver like the optima above? Both vehicles look great btw

The detail gods spared my life and sent me back to earth to rid the earth of hideous swirl marks.

Lucky thing i did the details. I also wish her the best of luck.

I did not mind, as i had to make sure the both surfaces was in pristine condition for the photoshoot. I hope MG man did not take any photos of that, cause i may really be heading to detail heaven. lol
