Did you know that today there are computer screens that can be rolled up like a big sheet of plastic. I'll bet that 20 years from now, they could create panels that cold be adjusted for glossiness, reflection, color, even graphics for advertising. No more need to polish or coat with any chemicals.

My first time detailing. Working on our older cars before taking on the new lexus. I clayed my old accord and polished with meg 205. It looks amazing. Am i really going to notice the difference if I go over it with Meg 105?

you should try Menzerna FG400... and yes OC 2.0 is permanent.

I'll look at fg400 for my wifes car, which is next. I just need to get the honda ready to sell this month. Claying & polishing already took 8 hours, as it was in bad shape. What happens to oc2.0, though, when it's scratched or marred? How do you repair it?

My mistake. I used 105 and was wondering whether i'd be able to see the difference if i went over it with 205? I suppose i should, since I have it, but the surface looks good already

. i've switched to Optimum products for ease of use and it's alot less time consuming and their product line is amazing.

#1 OOC = optimum opti-clean:thumbup :
#2 ONRWW = optimum no rinse with wax
#3 ONR = optimum no rinse
you can't go wrong with either one but i like OOC the best. top it with OCW when you're done. my wheels have 2 coats each of the Wolfs Rim Shield. i clean my wheels & tires with Eagle One A2Z wheel and tire cleaner (great stuff) i dress them with Eagle One tire shine (great stuff).

Ordered a gallon of ooc concentrate and the wolfs. Thanks for recommending. Here's maybe an interesting question. I'm heading to Palm Springs where the avg temp is 104 in June. Along the way, there's a 20 mile stretch where cars can have their front end covered with smashed insects. If you don't clean them off that night, they'll get baked onto the car the next day. Any suggestions? One person said he covered his front end with ivory dish soap before driving through the bugs and was able to hose it off. I suppose soap won't hurt anything

) areas and hose off. it's either that or cover the whole front of the car in painters tape.

maybe i'll try both. put the soap on when we're near the buggy area, but have some opc in the trunk in case it's necessary. what other supplies do you take for a long road trip? when you go for service, do you let the dealer wash your car or tell them no? i just went for the 1,000 mile check and let them do it, since they hand wash, but they didn't dry it well, so i had some water streaks.

It's leading to 22ple. i bought enough for my car & my wife's car and plan to apply it soon, before the trip to CA. i need to expand my knowledge base before i to the 22ple. I did sidetrack for a while, though. Since we've sidetracked, ,though, what cigars does everyone enjoy after a long day of claying and polishing, in preparation for applying the 22ple? how about an Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva?
