fixed. I was typing too fast and said glaze instead of wax. The best glaze is really the kind you get on a Krispy Kreme...must have been on my mind.

****ing krispy creme went out of business like 3 years ago in new york JA, way to make me want something i can have.....
oh, and thought i'd share this here instead of making a thread about it. I went to go look at some apartments for my grandparents just now, left the top down thinking nothing of it. I wasn't parked under a tree, or nothing, and I've only really just started seeing birds again. anyway, i walk out of the leasing office maybe 20 minutes later and there's a big old white nasty lump of white and brown bird **** on my back seat...... :mad
i drive the car to cvs which was like...... 7 feet away it turns out, connected to the apartments, and got baby wipes for $1.67 that will now forever remain in my glove box, my weapon against bird ****.
can't a cracka eva catch a break? FML

i found the best spray stuff ever! FUKKEN wax its the best for windows paint etc.... my wife even uses it in the house!
Yeah I have seen it, and its awesome. I am going to get one soon, the Makita is getting to be a bit much for me, and I only use it for heavier jobs, and the PC is too slow.
:lol at the tag team, now im in!
I am bringing my equipment when I come down, and I will make you oooOoOOoooOOOo and AaaAhAAa at your car.The thing that really sucks....is that being white...I don't get the "oOoOooOh AaaaAAaAAAaH!" that darker colors can get. Mine just looks clean. White has no depth.
Looks great.These are old pictures but after a detail ... I like Black the best ...

To an extent thats right, but I have tried a LOT of **** and let me tell you, nothing you can buy at advance compares to Poorboys, Pinnacle, Menzerna, ect. If you want to look the best, you have to spend a little more.

I know man. I've been eye balling it for a long time. As of right now, the G100 is getting the job done and quite well on my car. I just have a problem on anything other than Ford, GM, and Dodge. Well, I take that back, it's not really a problem. Once you start getting into other foreign makes it shows it's weakness. I think the Flex would be able to handle that stuff, possibly even BMW clearcoats. I'm not sure. I've been using a Makita for a while on all of that stuff.
Thanks !!

while we're all threadjacking...
I went around looking at cleaning supplies... cause my car has a ton of swirls...
I have 3M rubbing compound... would that be fine to buff out some serious swirls... or would this Meguiars stuff be better? Meguiar's Direct SwirlX
I was told 3M was a great brand for rubbing compound... but I was not all that impressed last time I used it... but I could have been applying it wrong...

no I have an electric random orbital... it's a cheap 1 speed but it's all I got as of now... I actually ended up buying this anyway Meguiar's Direct Swirl Remover -, cause I wasn't impressed with the 3M when I used it last year...
and yeah, I was reading the two write ups, which is what got me going to look at some different products in the first place... just figured I'd ask here instead of starting another thread for a quick question since everyone else was hijacking it too...lol
the write ups are really helpful... the only thing that I have lots of questions on are the different products... cause there's so many of them, haha
for example...carnauba wax... I was looking for that cause I read it has a better look than synthetic, but all I could find was "carnauba cleaner wax" are they all cleaner waxes? because I've heard cleaner waxes can cause problems...
