    Wheels are reminiscent of a late 70`s Trans Am, minus the gold paint of course. Thinkin` the white`s a bit easier to take care of than the black.

    Don`t know what I was thinking. Actually they don`t look much like them at all. Maybe that`s what they`re talking about when the memory fails.

    did a one step with megs swirl-x and sealed a friend`s 2014 Nissan with the new megs paint protect. the new sealant was very easy to use and left a nice slick finish. supposed to have a year of durability at a great price. time will tell. excuse the tires, but ran out of daylight after short notice.

    Can`t wait to hear about the durability. I was thinking about using this for little quick side jobs. I guess for $10 I should just pick some up though huh?

    This is some good information to pass onto you from Mike Stoops over at Meguiar`s Online.

    First off, while a 24 hour cure time is indeed important, what is perhaps even more important is that the product be allowed to sit for a week or so, and then wash the car. Doing that will allow any of the "carrier ingredients" and oils from the product to dissipate and get washed away. That then allows the true nature of the product to show through. What we`d love to see is Paint Protect side by side with the same product you used in this video, then a week later wash the car (or just the hood, for demo purposes, if you wish), and compare the results. Then wash it again. And again. Let`s then see what`s left of this and the other product.

    Remember, we aren`t saying that this product will have the tightest beads in the world, just that the beading will extremely long lasting. One is maybe a very short lived "ooh and aah" trick, the other is actually a very desirable feature of the product.

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Finally got my four Splash Guards that I bought from Ebay……
    Cost me a total of about $16.00 compared to the OEM ones for about $120 ..lolz


    Anyways, had to hurry up and get them on before it starts raining here this evening!

    All the screws and fasteners came with them….(ended up painting the screws black since they were greenish)

    Took wheels off completely and decontaminated the wheel wells with D101, D143, Iron X, and Tar X and then coated all the plastic under the wheel wells with Gtechniq`s C4

    Next, I wiped down the plastic Splash Guards with D101 and then finally coated all them with Gtechniq`s C4 as well to protect them from the elements and keep them looking newer longer.

    Wont wash the car until after the rains……….

    here are some pics of the process…..
