(Please note that I am not affiliated with Meguiars in any way, nor am I making any profit from this post) Background: I washed with Megs GC, clayed with Megs Overspray Clay and washed again with the Megs. I applied S100 Shine Enhancing Paint Cleanser to the entire car using a PC with...

I'm about to start using a PC to apply SEPC and I needed a little help. I want to remove some light surface scratches from the clear coat and was wondering what speed I should run at. I'm using the Griots Polishing Pad to apply the SEPC. I know SEPC isn't a strong polish so I assume I...

For those that don't know I recently decided to show my car at concours events. Since this decision I've found that my car has had much more garage time which makes it easier to keep clean.;) Well this weekend I'm going on a 800 mile round trip to meet with other MB 500E enthusiasts and...

Can anyone suggest a product that can be easily wiped and remove from the surface of an engine block. I've managed to clean the whole engine bay and everything looks new except for the block.:( My block looks like dull aluminum (not white) and I really want to get it looking new again...

I have lower fog lights which have glass covers ($60ea:eek: ) and they are pitted and yellow. Does anyone have experience repairing glass lenses and are there any products which can be used to "sand" the glass? So far the only option I see is replacing them :( , if anyone has any tricks up...

In my quest to find a leather condition that not only works good but smells good I decided to try Griots Leather Care. First some background information on my leather. The leather is 11 years old, in good condition (no cracks, couple of minor scuffs) and is dyed perforated black leather...

I started with a search but nothing really came up covering this direct subject. I've been cleaning the battery area (in the trunk) and have replaced the battery tray, clamps and bolts. I have cleaned up the battery and it looks new again. The only problem I have now is the clamps that go...

So I have yet another questions and I hope this is the right place to post it. After scrubbing my wheel wells and brake calipers I was left with a dilemma. My brakes pads look horrible, they have very light surface corrosion and uneven color. Worse yet they are very noticeable with my new...

So I'll be entering my first concours in less than 2 weeks and I have to ask what is proper attire for a a show. Can I wear shorts, jeans or slacks? Also how on earth do you guys/gals keep yourself clean when prepping the car. I'm worried that if I'm wearing a pair of Khaki's they will be...

Need some advice on removing dried SEPC which I managed to get into some very tight trim areas. :doh :( I've already tried wooden toothpicks but they are too large and can't get in far enough into the cracks to remove the polish. Is there anything else I can use that won't damage the...

Well I finally decided to upgrade my wheels and tires. The car originally had 16" Rims with 225/55 Tires, I changed to 17" EVOII Rims with new 245/45 Bridgestone SO3's. Here's a pic:

7 Hours, a bottle of Simple Green Automotive, a little Griots Undercarriage Spray, some PigSpit and whole lotta elbow grease. Here's the drivers side rear well before:

So I'm getting closer to finally showing my car in a concourse and I've wondered how the following changes to my car will affect my score. I was hoping those that have shown could help me out. 1. Modified Grille Assembly.....This is custom and was never sold with any model year. 2. 17"...

Well I did a search and only found one thread that referenced this product. Has anyone tried this product and how does it hold up to the excessive heat produced by the brakes? Since I'm running out of Zaino I'm wondering if this is a better alternative.

I've been using the S100 SEPC and Carnauba for the last month now and have had phenominal results. The paint looks absolutely great, wouldn't have learned about this one without the help of Autopia. But........ Since I've been browsing this site I've seen many here rave about Klasse's AIO...

Warning.....Long Post I've been "seriously" working on my engine for the last couple of weeks and I feel like I've hit a wall. After seeing a few pics of some pristine engines I thought I would put together a list ot things I've done and compare it to what others are doing to get the...

I'm going to buy some exhaust paint and just had a quick question. For those that have done this in the past do you find it easier to apply using a spray paint or with a paint brush? Also what type of surface prep should I do before applying this paint. Thanks for the help.

Well I'm just finishing up with touching up a bunch of small nicks and chips on my cars paint and I'm left with this question. Can I go ahead and apply some SEPC and S100 to the dried touch up paint or should I wait 60 days? I read Davd B's tips on touch up paint and it sounded like it was...

I finally own a car I love (1992 500E Mercedes) and I want to start entering it into Concourse shows. The question is how do I find these shows and how do I figure out which category to enter. The car has a few minor reversible modifications such as European Spec Headlights, a custom grille...

Ok I've done quite a bit of searching on this site regarding this product and still have a few questions. I've already started cleaning the underside of my car and will eventually do the wheels wells. I want to finish with a product that will leave a satin like finish (not too shiny) but I...
