I know with this new Super Duty there is a ton of chrome from the grill, to the bumpers, to the emblems, to the running boards...

DO yall treat them like paint? or something else?

I was just planning on using what I use on the paint (minus the #80) so use #7, then #21, Then #26...would that give it any extra bling? or just make it super protected like the paint?

Thanks guys (I know I promised no more questions for awile )

 

What all the Orange County Chopper and Harley guys use. If you ever watch OCC, once in a while, you'll catch Wenol Blue sitting on one of their work benches.

Watch it all the time...to tell you the truth I had never noticed that...hmmm....I am ordering some right now...You think some #21 and #26 over that would make it pop even more or would that be enough?

 

Nah......The Wenol will be plenty of protection. It also stops corrosion. I'm beginning to wonder if some of the Megs stuff is becoming a bit antiquated. There are simpler ways that provide better durability, along with easier applications. Obviously some will argue tooth and nail, but facts are facts. The other two hot detail forums out there ya hardly ever see Megs prods. mentioned. Occasionally their cleaner polishes, but that's about it.

 

What other two "hot" detailing forums are you referring to?

 

probably showcargarage....and....??

 

I'm guessing showcargarage and autopia

But nonetheless, if the chrome you're referring to is from the factory, then it's clearcoated, and should thus be treaded like paint. Now, if you have aftermarket crome, check to see if it's cleared, and if not, the OCC stuff or any other chrome polish will work. But if you use too harsh a polish on our chrome, you will dig through the clear and cause problems.

 

Yeah its from the factory...like the grill, emblems, cab steps, bumpers...all from the factory.....

 

RZ - it's true that there are a lot of good brands out there when looking at top shelf detailing products, but I would hardly say that Megs is outdated and ready to be laid to rest. I think they're very much up to date and have some great products.

 

Oh-- BTW-- The chrome on the grill is plastichrome, and should never be compounded, as far as I know. Same for emblems.

Step bars and bumpers are cleared.


And Meg's isn't outdated; they have plenty of die hard users in the D-Line, and a bunch in the a line. The difference is that with Megs, they're always the fallback in case the hype product at the time fails. Many peopl will try the new things in town, but always rely on Megs. It's hard to beat a company with that many people, experts, chemists, and testers out there. They simply have and will dominate the car/boat/RV/wood care industries. Everybody has hear of them, and everybody knows they're a good name.

 

Now don't get things to far out of context here. I did say SOME of the Megs products. Taking into consideration a lot of other shine products on the market no longer stain vinyl trim for example. Another example--no cure times involved. That means a lot, for ME anyway. I have other things I need to do, and if I can eliminate a step, whatever that step should be, and get the same or better results, then I'm looking at that as a time saving bonus. This is just a casual obesrvation on my part is all, nothing more.
