  • Hi from Bolivia

    I was looking for a source for replacing my dwindling supply of Meguiar's and found this site.

    I live and work in Bolivia where I own an import/distribution company. We import automotive and industrial lubricants and coolants from the US, as well as the complete line of Donaldson filters (air, oil, coolant, fuel, etc. - automotive and industrial) from about 21 countries at the moment.

    I spend my work time on the imports and teaching people how to lubricate and care for their equipment, including plant audits and root cause analysis of machinery/engine failures. My spare time is spent restoring cars, which is where this site fits in.

    No links allowed here yet, but if you google "richard's corvair" you will see the first car's 30 month restoration and links to the two current project.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

        Thanks.
        I like that El Camino. Wish I could find one here. It would be next on my list.
        Unfortunately we cannot import any cars older than 3 years.

          Similar to your concern about the Mag Polish, I'd be worried if I couldn't find any #7 Show Car Glaze.
          It's the main reason why the aged lacquer on my Camino still looks respectable.

              Thanks,
              funny thing is when I chose the Meguiars products I really didn't know there were so many. Gets confusing after a while and don't remember the specific name of the Meguiar's product I used to do this a few weeks ago (it's in my other house, 450 miles from here). I can't really complain about the shine, and when I get back to it each time after a month or two of sitting, I can blow most of the dirt off with a leaf blower.

                That's the truly great benefit of spending a little time here. Thanks to the information and advice shared freely by other enthusiasts as well as the knowledgeable Meg's corporate folks, such as the honorable Mr. Stoops, you learn the specific differences or similarities in products and are able to match up a best product to a specific need or problem.
