[Robert Palmer]

I'll detail your Jeep if you buy me the supplies. The detail will be free. :)

[iJeep]

Okay, How much are we talking about?

Nice write-up! Do you have any impressions on the Meguiar's #7 Glaze and it's purpose?

The #7 glaze helps to fill in and hide scratches and swirls.....

[blackpepper]

Ok I bought a bottle of it and I'm still trying to find a use for it, lol

[Scottina06]

use it on your whole truck after a clay bar and before the polish

scott im slightly confused... why did u use #7 before #9? i've read that #9 would remove #7 if used afterward.

[Scottina06]

I was recommending to ryan for his situation. He doesnt have a PC and the other products

[B.P.O.D]

ooooo ok got ya!!! :) i used the new swirlx on a test spot by hand and its awesome!!!!

do you have to wash your car in-between steps?

[heehawbus]

i used the new swirlx on a test spot by hand and its awesome!!!!

the new swirlx is so much better than the last version, not a pro product by any means but it works nice by hand

[Scottina06]

I'll tell ya what sucks.....scratchX! It is almost useless

[heehawbus]

I'll tell ya what sucks.....scratchX! It is almost useless

aint that the truth, ive got half a bottle left if any one wants it.. for free,, :rolleyes:

[Scottina06]

I have it in the squirt tube and I was thinking of trashing it. One of those blonde moments when i bought it I guess???!!!!

[B.P.O.D]

swirlx is def nice and works well for anyone who doesnt have a porter cable

[Scottina06]

they have anew one called "Ultimate Compound" anyone tried it?

[B.P.O.D]

not yet but i did see it and might try it if some of my swirls dont come out with swirlX

[blackpepper]

I need to get some canine scratches off my door too bad scratchX is so useless... Joe said you need to strip all the wax to really get it to wrk but I tried and nothing happened :(

I think my dog loves me too much...

[B.P.O.D]

try swirlx and ultimate compound wtih a foam applicator!!!!

[Matt]

Very nice write-up Scotty! Now get those pics up!!

[TimmyB]

Im lazy, finally bought a clay bar kit. I picked up the turtle wax clay bar kit, with the liquid clay bar and the actual clay bar. The liquid actually works great at removed baked on dirt and swirl marks. I only used it in 2 areas since I was just testing it out. Pus I dont have any good wax yet, only a spray on detail wax so I didnt wanna go crazy just yet till I pick some stuff up.

[Scottina06]
