Any shampoo will work. I normally use Megs Gold Class as I have a far bit of it to use up and I dont use it on the car, but NXT will be my next one to use up after that!
I put 3 or 4 capfulls into a small 600ml size spray bottle.
No probs. VM works great by PC to anyway so you will be sorted.
I tend to use both the VM and then the RMG on mine when the PC is out or just the VM when working by hand.
Nattys Blue x 2 straight over a glaze will work fine, but will get nowhere near the protection and durability of the EGP, so you will need to wax once every 2 - 4 weeks.
Out of the Megs #7 and Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze, both look great, you will be hard pushed to tell much between them...
Applicator pads are normally foam sponge. But you can also get ones covered with Microfiber. For polishing fthe yellow Meguiars foam ones work best for me.
Removal as Justin said a microfiber towel works best, though they come in a whole range of colours. I like the orange Poorboys Mega Plush...
Ditch the sponge as it will grind the dirt into the wheels and cause the marring you are seeing, use an old wash mitt just for the wheels.
Rinse the dirt of first with a hose , Spray the wheels with Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner or Autoglym Engine and machine cleaner and allow it to attack the...
SRP does fill, but does not leave surface oils in the sense of a true glaze.
I use glazes under M/seal Justin, as it is more akin to the likes of Poorboys EX-P which does not seem so surface fussy as the likes of Autoglym or Klasse. But in the same token will never give the same durability.
Clay bar wont polish them or do anything other than remove bonded on contaminents. By hand - You can polish them as you would the paintwork, using either the same products as you would on your paint or a dedicated plastic polish.
If they are really pitted it is also possible to wet sand and...
No point - EGP wont bond to a glaze esp. not Megs 7 or VM. You will need to get a different sealant and compromise durability or go straight from the glaze to your wax, again reducing the level of protection.
EGP needs an oil free base to work properly.
Photoshop - Choose Save for web, the resulting file has the data stripped from it. The fact it does it actually annoys me, but will do what you want it to.
I have a few.
For me - Over Carnuba for ultimate looks Pinnacle Crystal Mist or Sonus Carnuba Spritz.
Anti static with looks nearly the above looks, Chemical Guys Synthetic Detailer or Chemical Guys Speed Wax. Both lack sightly the looks of the two above slightly and are not quiet as user...
No one can offer me all the products I need so I will be taking advantages of all the great offers the numerous traders give us CS members. Each one has something essential for me.
