...hmmm...there is some stuff I disagree with, but in any case, I am not editing the document. I have too many other projects (ie: I am writing a book right now, and I have a deadline...) that will prevent me from working on the sticky... RP is editing it, and has made a LOT of additions/changes/deletions. Plus, there are a few others additng to it.
BTW-- for those of you who dont know me, I use Megs products mostly due to cost and ease of use. I am VERY familiar with their lineup, and there is PLENTY of help here on their lineup. I LOVE Poorboys, but it is too pricey. As for the other brands out there (Menzerna, etc), I dont have the funds nor the time to order that stuff to try it out. Since I am happy with the products I use now, why change? Not that I fear other stuff, but I cant afford it... (Anybody wanna donate to a learning fund for me?
)
For the open ended stuff:
QD: PolySlick #425 is fantastic (or so I hear. Never used it. Cant afford to have that AND the other 4 QDs I have)
Interior: Get Megs QID as far as I am concerned. I have had GREAT results with this stuff. Everybody I know LOVES it.
Dressings: Get water based, not solvent based. No silicone. IMO, Hyperdressing is the best stuff on the market.
Glass cleaners: avoid ammonia ESPECIALLY if you have aftermarket tint (turns it purple). IMO, stoner's Invisible Glass is the way to go. safe for all windows, works like a charm, no complaints whatsoever.
APC's: Search on here for it. There is WAY too much for me to type on this topic in one reply. Heck, that would easily make 2-3 pages... RP can do that.
Leather: To be honest, I am by NO MEANS an expert on leather-- I have worked on it 2x. Once on a Lariat and once on a BMW. Search around for that stuff. And whoever writes that section needs to email me with their info because I could REALLY use it sometime... So, do a search. (I definately will before another leather interior...)
Metal polish: there are a couple of really good threads about this now... Check those out if you need the info for now. Basically, do the S-X test to determine if cleared. If cleared, treat EXACTLY LIKE PAINT. If not, use something like NXT all metal Polish, Heavy Metal Polish, Hot Rims mag/Aluminium polish, brasso, etc... I have cleared rims, so I dont mess with it. I just use the mag/aluminium polish for my toolbox...I got it for free (product testing), so no complaints...
Washing: I wrote the sticky before I heard your theory on this, and I 100% AGREE with your method (I switched after that email). I just havent been able to revise the text.
Wheels: Agreed. I start with a grunge wash mitt and wash water. If that doesnt work, SG at a 1:1 with water. If that doesnt work, straight SG. If that doesnt work, I go for a sweet rim cleaner that works wonders (but I rarely use for fear of not knowing what chemical it is-- Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner). If that fails...I call the customer. BTW-- after SG straight, I go for an old chunk of clay.
Clay: Go for an explanation. I need to get my uniforms ready for tomorrow.
As for the last couple of paragraphs, I read them, but I dont have any more time, and my computer battery is dying. I will respond later, maybe...
