      I think I allready know the answer I'm going to get, but Superior Shine, jfelbab, do you feel there is no problem using something with a cleaner in it all the time? I mean there would be no reason to use a "dedicated" dressing with no cleaners. I had a new dash on a 2002 gmc with dye (or paint ) failure, that the dealer claims was from cleaners. now I know this not to be entirly true, but I don't know what was on the dash when I got it. just want to be on the safe side and understand what I'm working with.

      Bill D,
      there is no comparison to amour all IMO. I love #40...but I wouldn't get rid of my brut aftershave for it. I think you love it, after you try it.

        Yeah, I wonder how it compares to 303. Closer comparison I'm assuming. The included cleaners concern me now too.If I get I would beusing only on tires.

          The cleaners in #40 are useful in removing any embedded dirt and grime. The photo I posted shows some 14 year old exterior trim. It still looks like it was new. The early years (pre#40) I used to use #42 but I've used #40 ever since it was released and the results speak for themselves.

          I also use #40 on my dash but I only need to apply it once or twice a year. A damp MF is all that is needed for normal dash cleaning. My dash looks like new too but it should as it was replaced once due to damage caused by a repairman while doing a steering wheel recall.

          I can only say #40 works well for me.

            Due to the cleaners this product sounds like one that can't be layered (tires) if wanted

              no. 40 is great, cleans so so well for interior dashes and leaves such a perfect shine not greasy and not glaring on window...

                I think I miss asked my question, let me try again. I love #40, I think I have yet to find something better. my only question is, would it be better to use something without cleaners in it some of the time or are the cleaners so small with #40 that it cann't hurt over time? like when we do paint.. we don't break out the #83 every time before we wax only when we need it. I'm probably over thinking this, and if I am it's ok to tell me. I just want to sound like I know what I'm talking about when I have to give information to people that doubt what I say, like a dealership for instance.

                  I declined to buy it because I'm still concerned the cleaners will not allow it to layer, say a few days or a week later. I would have used on tires.

                    IMO you can't layer a tire. with the heat, brake dust and junk on the road that the tires are constantly bombarded with, you should clean your tires when you clean your car, otherwise your trapping contaminates under the dressing. but, I've been wrong before. #40 does look awsome on a tire, FWIT.

                      I wonder if you could add more at different increments all in one day over time before driving. I suspect the cleaners wouldn't allow that

                        From Meguiar's Meguiar's *NEW* FAQ

                        1. Which Meguiar's products should I use on my tires?

                        Most people don't give a lot of thought to their tires except for how they look. Truth be known, your tires are designed to perform under extreme conditions of heat via kinetic energy transfer, high speeds for long periods of time and incredible forces of torque and flexing. That's a lot to ask from a chunk of rubber, inflated with air like a cream filled donut.

                        The science behind the modern rubber formulas used by major tire manufactures today is both complex and interesting. The rubber itself contains and ingredient called Antiozonant. Antiozonant is an ingredient that helps to prevent the exterior rubber surface from cracking, checking, oxidizing, and deteriorating. The rubber is designed in such a way as to constantly work its way to the outside of the tire and as such, continually replenish the exterior surface with fresh antiozonant.



                        After the antiozonant works its way to the outside of the tire and is exposed to the ozone in the air, it turns brown. The technical term for this effect is blooming.

                        This is why you see a brown film on the surface your tires. You can wash your tires with soap or an all-purpose cleaner and remove this film, but in a few weeks, it's back. That's because the antiozonant continually works its way to the outside of the tires every time you drive your car.

                        To maintain your tires and keep them looking sharp with a deep, dark black color, Meguiar's offers six unique tire dressings that treat the rubber with Meguiar's own special conditioning agents as well as patented antiozonants that replenish your tires' original antiozonants and keep your tires looking blacker longer than generic tire dressings and protectants. Special polymers actually penetrate and cure to the surface to form a long lasting barrier-film that protects your tires from inclement weather and exposure to corrosive elements. These include:

                        * Hot Shine Tire Spray (Trigger Spray) High gloss formula turns tires a dark black with high shine
                        * Hot Shine (Aerosol Spray) High gloss formula turns tires a dark black with high shine
                        * Gold Class Endurance Original formula leaves a dark satin matte finish
                        * Gold Class Endurance High Gloss leaves A shinier, higher gloss finish
                        * M-38 Tire & Trim Dressing Gel leaves a dark satin matte finish, available in 32 oz. bottle

                        (End of FAQ answer)


                        Because the rubber that makes up your tire is constantly in a state of breaking down and wearing out, you actually don't want to layer anything onto them. Same applies to interior and exterior vinyl.

                        A vinyl top on a car gets dirty just like the car's paint, (assuming it's driven and parked outdoors), for this reason a little cleaning ability insures you don't seal and trap dirt into the vinyl.

                        The interior is less prone to becoming dirty than is the interior, but still accumulates dust and other contaminants.

                        The cleaners in #40 are very safe and effective. There should be no reason to think that extended use of this product could or would cause any harm.

                            Thanks Mike

                            This product is a little different from what I use now. Thought same procedure could apply to #40


                            (from 303products.com) : The first treatment takes a little more product. After 10 minutes or so, on any part of the tire where 303 has completely absorbed in and dried, mist on a little more 303. When you see the tires won’t absorb any more 303, wipe each tire completely dry to pick up any excess 303.
