TW Bug/tar remover-- I HATE IT!!!
Megs Natural Shine (weather seals)
Megs Hot Shine Gel (tires)
Megs NXT wax (old stuff- for the roof instead of using #21 up there)
Megs Hyperdressing (all over the place)
Megs APC+ (engine bay-- diluted. Smells Orangy-Fresh!)

Megs Plast-X (headlights, taillights, 3rd brakelight)
Megs #21 Synthetic Sealant

After seeing what you did to your pony, I am thinking about detailing a buddies black stang just so I can have the gratification of working on a black car...They always look SOOO much better when cleaned up than silver...(But mine hides dirt better! )

Thanks, I appreciate that. Silver definitely does hide imperfections.

Why Thank you, too Boss! (Coming from you, this means a bunch-- you are a legend...)

What sort of stuff do you reccommend?
I was trying to get rid of some old product...Thus I am lining up at least 2 more details this month for friends to get rid of some of the stash (mostly accumulated freebies and OTC products)

Oh Lord! #80 was a pain with all the wind-- It felt like just as soon as I would get to working it it would dry up! Same for #9.

The real killers other than that was everything in spray format... overspray EVERYWHERE!!! ARGHHH!!!

Thanks for the kudos, BTW
