I waxed my car with meguiars about a month ago and i still have that white junk in all the nooks and crannys also it got on my rubber strips(which there are alot of on my 96 ex. about the doors, around the keyhole) its hard to get off how do i get the existing stuff off and i have that turtle wax color cream and i was wondering how to i apply the turtle wax color cream (and meguiars for that matter) and also do i have to wax it after i use the color cream. I know thats a lot of questions sorry.

After you was a car and reomve the wax with a clean rag. next rinse the car using the stream high pressure setting to get most of the wax out of the cracks. Then use a toothbrush to get the rest of the wax out of the cracks. Then wash dry , your done.

I used Meguiars once...I hate that white stuff...

So, I used Zaino and I had no white stuff...

I used Q-tips to get all the stuff out the cracks.

The "white stuff" comes off w/ a detailing brush, don't use a tooth brush, even an old one because they're a little abrasive As far as the color cream stuff goes all I can say is...GIMICK :p If you wanna see what the Mequiars 3 step is all about come over to the SE MI forum and click onto the pics under "Detailing business is in full swing" and tell me about Mequiars :p

No, the colored Turtle-wax is not a gimmick. Works quite well, actually. If you drive in MI, like I do, and the jack-*sses use gravel rather than sand in the winter, you get a lot of chips. The colored wax fills in those chips with color rather than white. Now having said that, the color is not a perfect match. On my maroon 98 SVT, its actually kinda pink. But back of 5', and it all blends nice, which is a s close as that moron in the celica gts will get to me! But its a little hard to use...I use Eagle-One Spray detailer afterwards, and looks like magic! Last night I used the new Eagle-One "Wax as you Dry", and again looked great. Works best when the water on your car is 1/2 drained off. Not so good on the windows, but makes the black around the window and mirrors and rear valance look great! My $.02

You should try liguid glass it works really nice and wipes of molding pretty dame good I find

is liquid glass a trim cleaner? also does that new eagle one stuff leavee any residue on the rubber trim strips?

no residue from the eagle one when I used it.....i love the stuff, just make sure you use a very soft, lint free cloth....and change areas of cloth frequently

I've seen the Liquid Glass at PepBoys, etc and that stuff is $17.99 a bottle, I wonder what kind of a finish that leaves compared to our Mequiars/Zaino Has anyone used and what kind of results to you get?
