    What do you think about Meg`s wheel acid for rims....as far as the water spot removal?

    Meg`s should work. I`ve always mixed my own though; Four parts water to one part pool acid.

    Poorboy, Clean Dean, Kim....all of you DC vet`s....care to throw in some of your `golden` input ?




    As it is, this is my plan for the black C230:

    *Full exterior wash (bug & tar removal, the works)
    *Claybar treatment (using 4* claylube and Claymagic claybar)
    *Light rinsing/drying after the clay
    *PC with Meg`s cutting pad using MPPC
    *PC w/Meg`s polishing pad using #9 swirl remover
    *Application of wax by HAND, using NXT & MPPP ( i will use NXT on the whole body, and leave one section for MPPP as a comparison)

    Oh yea, and i will also treat the windshield with Aquapel glass treatment....ive gotten very positive feedback from numerous clients on this service package.

    Upon completion i think ill do a review of the various products i used to give the members of DC some usefull insight.


    Thanks again.

    One thought on NXT.
    I would apply the first coat by hand ...
    The second coat (24 hours later) apply with the PC set on about 4.
    The swirl filling capabilities of this product work better when applied with the PC.
    I usually apply one coat by hand so I get all the tight areas that the PC won`t reach.
    The process could be reversed I suppose.

    She speaks, and she delivers! Thanks for your input Kim

    Dr_detail: I look forward to sharing my results with all of you, and hopefully getting some feedback too.


    Also, i`d just like to reiterate my thanks to all those who consistantely and tirelessly contribute to the endless array of questions on DC.

    Without patient, knowledgable and kind folks as yourselves, this wouldnt be the special place that it has become!


    Man....I love you guys!
