Re: Saab 9-3 Aero

Car looks great. Have you had any experience using M205/105 in the sun? I really want to give it a shot, but all the work I do is outside.

Re: Saab 9-3 Aero

Wow man! Makes me want to go back out and actually detail my wife's 2003 Saab Linear with the Sport package. heh Ours is a dark, army green. Looks black from far away, but really cool up close. Great job. I should really start using a rotary more eh? heh

Both work well in the full sun unless you use too much, then #205 especially has a tendency to gum up in some areas. Wipes off with a damp towel and doesn't appear to affect defect removal. The big advantage for me is being able to check for remaining defects and holograms without having to move the car in and out of the sun. Plus the sun will bake out any oils that might be hiding any remaining defects or holograms.

pampos-nice job on the Saab, the difference is like night and day!

Re: Saab 9-3 Aero

That's great news, I'm going to see if I can track some down locally, I've got a black F350 in the next week or two I'd like to try it out on using the KB method. Thank's a lot guys.

Re: Saab 9-3 Aero

What about dusting of the product though? All of my Meg's stuff dusts up something terrible in direct sunlight on dark cars. The only product I've used that doesn't dust up at all is Optimum, though, to be honest, Meg's and Optimum are all I've tried.
