I love this stuff, but I've two questions about it: (a) Assuming a lack of freezing temperatures, what sort of shelf life might I expect with it? My bottle is a couple of years old or so. (b) I know it has cleaners, but is it a safe assumption that those cleaners will be sufficient to...

Is the going advice here still a 50/50 of IPA/water? I ask because I've got DGPS + 845 sitting on my car, and I'd like to start from a clean slate and tinker with other LSPs. I don't imagine a Dawn wash would cut through all of that, and I'm not sure if cleaners present in Synwax FX /...

Anyone still a big fan/user of Synwax FX, Reflections, and so forth? Just curious. I know those products had a bit of a "yeah, they're real store-bought sleepers" crowd here (including myself, as I quite liked Synwax last I used it).

Last week, I spent an afternoon #83'ing my car, followed by 1x Wolfgang's DGPS. It was left sitting for ~20 minutes, buffed off, and that was that. The following afternoon - something like 20 hours later - I, in my inability to ever leave anything the hell alone, decided to top that with a...

Curious if it's worth it. Car's been freshly polished w/ #83 and is currently topped with Wolfgang's sealant. Durability claims go both ways with that stuff, but it's pretty universally accepted that KAIO + 845 kicks all sorts of *** in the longevity department. If WG lasts a couple...

Two things. 1: So we've got a fantastically clear forecast over the next week, prompting me to spend some long overdue time with my 7424 and my car's paint, the results of which will probably be put in C&B later. But since I've got a lazy day tomorrow, I'm wondering what I should do tomorrow...

What's the best course of action? I washed, clayed, DACPd (and did a crappy job at some spots), and decided to slap on some 845 IW. I'm thinking I ought to go back to polymers. What would be the easiest way to remove that IW? Strong Dawn wash? I really don't feel like going over the car for a...

Curious as to what OTCs you guys think are worth it. My $.02: Mothers Synwax Meg's Endurance, if only for appearance and longevity ...

Once upon a time, when I first got interested in taking good care of my vehicle (and in my pre-Autopia) days, GC was the first wax that I ever used. This was years before this reformulation I hear about every now and again here. The main thread I found about it is this one; for anyone else...

The last thing I used on my car was NXT. I've been wanting to go back to my Wolfgang DGPS for awhile, but I'm wondering how smart it is to use a straight LSP with no cleaning ability like that (pretty sure it's cleanerless...?) over an LSP that's already there. What kind of effects on durability...

Like the sig says, car is a black 2003 Corvette coupe. Wash: NXT, Eurow sheepskin. Clay unnecessary, DACP on my 7424+yellow/white CMA... maybe, if the spirit so moves me. The oh-so-fun LSPs sitting in the garage: #26 with or without #7 Gold Class, paste NXT, liquid Synwax FX AIO...

Took a couple years of Spanish in high school - never made below a 95 or so on anything. Can't speak it worth a damn now (21 years old, college junior working on psychology/pre-medicine.) Taking French in the Fall (didn't want to take Spanish again!) - obviously, applied practice and...

Dad's got a 2002 ML320, and there's some sort of extremely stubborn film on the lenses. It feels like it's on the outside and is slightly brownish/cloudy. What sort of products might one try to remove that crap? There's no rotary available, but I do have a 7424, and he has a Dremel with...

Sorry, no befores here (it wasn't even that bad before!) 1: Sheepskin mitt + GC 2: AIO by PC, white CMA 3: Wolfgang sealant by PC, black CMA Wondering about the 12-hour thing with Wolfie's sealant and whether I should go put another one on right now... Meg's endurance on the tires...

That's basically my question. Picked up three of these 8-packs they've got; I know there's been a bit of WM MF discussion here, but I don't believe they're all on the same product / were from different companies. Anyone have any comments on these?
