[25GTT]

I am more of a meguirs man, however my friend that details porchse GT3's and some of the cars for Joe Crisafio as mentioned in another thread, when polishing he uses 3M brand, the same people that do those sticky notes! apparently they have a small range of polishes aswell, though he does prefer meguirs car polish he said value for money this 3M car polish is real good. He used it on my car and seemed to come up sweet!

yeah..... i've got a bottle of that 3M glaze.... seems to work ok.... i've noticed a few guys at car shows using it too....

[25GTT]

Yeah thats the stuff!

where do you get it from? is it cheap compared to Meguirs?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Does any of that stuff to keep mags clean work? I get alot of brake dust, don't know how:p, and they need cleaning every 2 days.

I used armour all mag wheel cleaner, it then ate the painit off my brakes!!! I have since resprayed but i aint going to use mag wheel cleaner, coz my mags are polished i just use metal polisher....

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I have red anodised mags, so I don't want to use anything that might remove the anodising.

I can get meguires in bulk (4L). Its very cheap purchased that way.

Just get a few of us to pitch in for a big tin and we can refill our empty meguires bottles.

I'll get a price shortly.

Hey, Gradenko.

I thought it was just me

But then I began to think

Perhaps its his IQ that's higher

'Coz maybe he is a literary type

Using word patterns and structures beyond your hype

Or maybe he is a technology tryer

So, careful to what you let yourself sink

Grammar Police, ... well ... maybe!

Cheers.

P.S. The sentiment is fine, but watch your own grammar too: "well constructed sentences IS ...". Ahem. Perchance this should be "are". And "sepArating".

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!!

Off thread I know, but hey .....

Bugger, isn't it always the case. In future, I'll proof read before putting the smack down

Lets let this rest for now. Back to car cleaning!

oh... mag cleaning... mine are painted, so i just use the left over meguires soft wash most of the time :-)

Use white spirits to get Amourall off the interior. Don't think you should use too much, I only did a small hidden area so I could stick my turbo timer on under the dash. Didn't notice any discolouration.

Just told today by someone that professional car detailers use a capful of kerosene in a bucket of cold water to wash black cars. He used it himself for 12 months on his black Landcruiser, and it did not do anything to the paint. No streaking, water marks or anything. Has anyone else heard of this?

I use to live in the bush pretty much and travel to work everyday via limestone track with my VC Commodore, 17' rims, yadda yadda yadda... and mag cleaners are really crap, i use to clean my rims with turtlewax car wash, and then use a ... yes... silver polish cloth...with polish to clean them up spick n span

[33Spec2]

what do detailers use 2 make tyres black and shiney?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

They spray them with tyre shine. It's only good if you car doesn't move, most of it comes off after a bit of hard driving.
