    Re: Still like good old #6

    Bill, I actually go to Point Roberts quite regularly, but there's nothing there but a few parcel handling services, a few gas stations.....if you looked at a map, it just looks like a geographical error when Canada & the US were cutting up the pie and where the border was going to be placed, pretty sure there was more to this...lol
    I donno of any places in Bellingham.....maybe someone here knows of a place?

    "the otther PC" lol....it's all good except for my wallet

    Andy....thanks for the thought....I offer to share my stuff with my friends all the time along with the free services I provide.....so far I only work for free lunches lol

    bmrfan....Lordco charges an arm & a leg....I'm also leary about buying from them as I do question the age of their inventory

    Greg...do you use D151 w/ a foam pad or MF? I assume you make the decison based on the paint cond?

    Those two cars I did using Meguiar's W8207/ W8204 yellow polishing pads and G110v2. Technically D151 takes everything from wool cutting pads to foam finishing pads. I've tried PRC with MF pads but decided to stay with their designated liquids: D300 and D301.

    D151 is like M86 Cut & Polish Cream with added wax protection and of course it performs super well on cured/ factory paint as well.

    I'm very familiar with the Pt Roberts 'chunk'. Yea, not much there.

    I'll make a couple of calls and see what I can find out about what is or isn't in Bellingham. I'll report back Wed morning.

    Oh, just to add, I'm orginally from the Seattle area, so still have some contacts.

    Phil,

    Here are a couple of stores to try.

    In Bellingham there is Wesco Auto Body, 1507 Iowa St, Tel=360-671-0900, www.wescopbe.com . I dealt with this company many times over the years, alway ready to help the customer. They seem to have really grown over the last few years. Never knew they were in Bellingham.

    In Vancover: Canadian Body Shop Supplt LTD. There are half dozen or so shops in the Vancover area.

    I was also informed that SOME Sherwin-Williams Paint stores carry Meguiar's product. That's a new one on me.

    For a Canadian mail order, there is www.eshine.ca .

    Hope this helps...

    Bill

    as far as #6 goes that the original poster talked about . I really love it and have used it as a base ....even a stand alone 1 step for years. It hold up pretty well , deep shine , and if you top it with #26 or #16 it comes out awesome.

    Does #6 fill in fine scratches or just darken them? And by hand, is it a quick cleaner?

    I've once tried the consumer cleaner wax and although it gave a good shine it was a bit weak in cleaning. I needed to rub hard even to get off the marks of the QD I used for claying.
