It was applied to the whole car with a Meg`s yellow foam pad. Waited a few minutes (weather wasn`t warm at all) then I took one of the 50 new MF towels that I ordered recently from Winner Circle Detailing products and wiped it off section after section. These new green towels are very very nice btw.



To remove #16 is not hard at all. If you apply a little more then a thin layer - it just needs a bit extra buffing. I love #16





No need to panic about #16



Btw, when in a hurry, I use a damp MFT to remove SG. Works every time.



To know how a product really works, I always look for advice from the long time professionals on this board.

Try to do the same to save yourself from unwanted headaches.

Off Topic - I am a Michael Schumacher fan. Don`t like Montoya at all. Sorry.

Sorry!!! I always do the same thing for the headliners.....



Woolite mix sprayed on a MF towel and I rub it back and forth untill spot dissapears.



I should have taken pictures of the left rear pillar - the plastic/vinyl was full of these black marks, like on the headliner - even on the back door.



There were 3 spots by the door handle that wouldn`t come off, no matter how hard or fast I rubbed. I will call the owners tonight and ask them what it is.



I want to thank Sean and of course Scottwax (and all the others that list it as one of their "go to" product) for suggesting the Woolite mix. What a life saver! Thanks guys!

disasnguy - thank you!

Very nice! Clear, wet reflections on silver! Great job on the headliner too, those can be pretty hit and miss because you can`t get too aggressive with pressure or products.



Another application option with #16 is apply it a fender or two at time then remove, much the way you would use S100 or Souveran.

Thanks Scottwax, that is how I applied the first coat of #16 last week.



As far as the headliner is concerned, the quality equaled my car`s I`d say,so I was able to use some pressure without worrying too much.



Watch them call me tomorrow complaining about a loose headliner ;D

Looks great!



Very wet and reflective.



Headliners are always fun. I usually charge extra for them because of the time I have to take with it...Did you?

[Thomas Dekany]

Thanks Sean - I usually don`t charge extra for it, but honestly I didn`t notice it until this morning when I started the inside. Didn`t take too much time to get it clean.

$150 is what I charged her and as I mentioned before they are my massage clients. Others would pay $200.00 with the headliner detail. Which should make you wonder about your prices. You should charge extra imho. Your work is worth more.



They asked for a "handful" of flyers - others are interested at her work. See what happens.



Thanks!

i didn`t get that...?

[Thomas Dekany]

Montoya and Schumacher are Formula 1 drivers. Schumacher being the best and Montoya? Not on the same level as Michael. Then again no one is
