Just wanted some suggestions on what a starter collection of Meg`s professional stuff should include for my new PC. I go to their site, and read all everyone`s posts here & on the Vortex, and see all these numbers, and glazes and polishes and cleaner polishes, and am so confused! I have no idea which ones I actually need, and I don`t want to take redundant steps. I wanted to stick with Meg`s because I already use their consumer brand and am happy, and also like being able to buy it affordably OTC.
Just so you know what I`m working with -
Daily driver is `04 Neon, solar yellow. Paint is really in pretty good shape, just the usual light cobwebbing that you don`t see except in bright sunlight, and then it looks kinda crappy.
The rest of the cars in the family have more paint damage. 89 Ford Escort beater which is what I aim to practice on, I think lived outside its whole life... It`s like a light red metallic ["wild strawberry"] and has some scuffs where it`s been rubbed on things, heavy oxidation, some swirls.
A Sebring convert almost the same color as the Ford w/ about the same condition paint.
My fiance`s black `01 Silverado that he stopped washing or waxing a few years ago because he was tired of seeing new paint chips [!!!!] and well, we all know how horrible neglected & oxidized black paint looks. Cloudy and chalky and just ughhhh I can`t even look at it.
One more black car, my mom`s 01 BMW 3 series that she bought pre-owned and came with courtesy machine swirls from the dealer [wasn`t that nice of them??] This one`s also a little cloudy since all she does is take it thru the automatic every once in a while, and she parks it under a damn pine tree at work [against all my requests!!!]
Any help appreciated, and thanks in advance!
