mix that 8oz into a gallon of water..Distilled water and there you go..you have 1gallon of quality instant detailer for 9bucks. same price as the megs stuff but you get MUCH more.

Ok, here are my results, I used:

XMT Swirl Remover #2 w/ a Green pad on my DA
http://www.autogeek.net/xmt-fine-swirl.html

Poorboys Polish w/ Carnuba w/ Green pad
http://autogeek.net/pbpwc12.html

XMT Glaze w/ Carnuba w/ a Gray pad
http://autogeek.net/xmt-carnauba-finishing.html

Magueriers Gold Class paste (it's all I had, going to order some 'show wax' in the spring)
http://autogeek.net/meguiars-gold-class-paste-wax.html




I'm pretty happy with the results, going to keep applying thin coats of wax as I have time.

The pic is the roof of the car.

I just did my car today..I gave it a quick over with a Hydrotech tangerine pad with menzerna 85RD..then poorBoys black hole..I didnt get around to waxing it cause I was tired..I didnt take any pics cause it never came out of the garage..Maybe in a few months once weather breaks I can take it out from hibernation

I personally am a fan of Adams products. Almost no one that has used any of his products has complained, and the one or 2 who have get a 110% money back guarantee. http://www.Adamspolishes.com/

hey 'runner', you ever use a california car duster? I have one for my bike, but that's a different animal. just kinda wondered if they are safe to use.. Also, do you ever use a self service (splash and dash) type car wash, wondered if the high pressure will mar the paint. I'm pretty picky, and I'll wash with a low pressure hose at home if it's warm enough.

I use the California duster on my car all the time..its probably my most used tool.
No my mustang doesnt ever go out when its raining, or anything..it only goes out during summer on nice days..it is only ever hand washed and maintained by me. I use those do it yourself stuff on my beater car but I really dont think if your just using the spray gun bays its going to harm anything..as long as you dont use the brush.
