R & D Question for Mike Phillips or other Meguiar's Technical People

[Bill Prentice]

R & D

Mike...

Like you tought us at the clinic: The best R & D is using your head with a well thought out process and use of the products at hand.

When coaching I've learned this: Too much information can cause paralizes by analysis... Can't move for thinking... KISS..

Like the oil change analogy, think in the mindset of preventative maintenance. Don't wait for your finish to degrade to the point of needing to be machine cleaned in order to restore the beauty. Wash it often, polish and wax on a regular maintenance schedule to insure that your car always has an adequate coating of protection.

I agree that changing the oil frequently is more important than what brand of oil you use, and that washing/polishing/waxing often is more important than which products you use.

Before we get out of hand here, I in no way wanted this to deteriorate into a "wax war". I was just trying to satisfy my engineering curiosity about how products could be objectively tested, maybe to prove that the arguments on some other forums are ridiculous without said objective tests.

Sorry. I wasn't suggesting you were trying to start a war. However this thought has been on my mind and it just popped in here because there is so much discussion over how long this or that lasts. Mike is busy enough and can't answer EVERY question. My thought was just to help him out.

Sorry, Mike!

But if we just use whatever oil and whatever wax often, that's no fun No need to discuss all of these products on these forums then.

I love the fun factor of being over the top in detailing and maintenance most

No need for this... healthy discussions are good as long as everyone remembers that we have more in common than we are all different just by the fact that we're all posting to this thread/forum.

Sometimes, the anonymity of an Internet account causes people to sometimes say things they would never say if they were in nose-punching distance from the person they are discussing car wax over.
