I consider my car to be a hobby too. I am not trying to be mean or anything, i am just woundering. It seems like every week djomlas spends many hours doing something with his car. Weather it be painting the wheels, putting those red sticker things on the back, claying his car or taking random pic for the heck of it. But as as long as he enjoys doing it i guess it cool.

I'll throw in my 2 cents here and say that I'm tired of using the Meguir's stuff. The scratch X is a pain to remove (and the results weren't all that great, maybe I'm getting picky), the polish and carnuba was also tough to get off. I love how easy the combo cleaner/wax is to use but I don't think it lasts very long.

I'm looking for a new set of potions to use so anyone have advice on easy to apply and remove? I do all my stuff by hand for the time being.

Djomlas, I do think the Meguiars 3 step process did a good job. Do you recommend multiple coats of the step 3 Wax/polymer ? I especially enjoyed doing my color roll bars. They look great now. The step 2 moisture color booster seems to have actually helped.

PerfectLap, I know that Turttle Wax is old school. I had meant to pickup Duponts polishing /rubbing compound but grabbed the Turttle wax instead. I saw white polishing compound and didn't pay that much attention to the label. I figured they are all the same chemicals. Do you remember Dupont Rain Dance? I used to use that stuff from about 1974 when I started driving (on my Red '73 AMC Javelin) to 1992ish on my Black Toyota Supra Turbo, man was that a sweet car.

I am almost to my 100th post! So that means they'll let me use a picture of my car as my Avatar now right?

SoCal,

I put so many coats of Rain Dance on my Black '84 Mustang GT that the car took on a blue hue. I loved that stuff!

Cruisin' the mall, blasting U2, checking out the honeys' Jordache Jeans in my Blueish-Black Mustang. Thanks for the flashback, dude.
