    you can`t search for some of the acronyms like #6 or #7 because it`s too short. I`ve tryed ways but can`t seem to find the key. Any tips on how to search for some of these?

    That`s a limitation of the software for the shorter terms like that.. But for two character terms you can add a * to the end.. Like 80*, 83*, etc. You`ll get some extra results that way (i.e. 800), but it`s better than nothing.

    Megs#7* (No spaces)
    What gets overlooked too often is that one must be a student before becoming a teacher.

    For 2 letter searches, use the * as a wildcard. The search function will pick something up.



    Example:



    Instead of #7, use #7*

    For #80 try:

    *#80 or #80*



    Or try:

    Speed and Glaze



    For #7 try:

    Show and Glaze



    For a good link on #7 try:

    #7



    IMO, if you don`t have #7 you really don`t need it. Other products do what #7 does but they also serve other purposes. For instance, #80 will produce a similar gloss to #7 but it also polishes. VM cleans and also serves as a glaze. That is one reason why it is being discontinued...



    I used #7 when my car was still `curing` from new paint. I`ll use it again under a carnauba when I feel like it. But if you don`t have it, don`t buy it...

    I tried using the * as a wild card and it doesn`t work for me. It seems that any of the uppe case on the numbers don`t count in the minimum. using something like meg#80 without spaces did give me some returns though.



    Thanks
