I think it would be an awesome idea to have a small display shelf with each of your products on it. I completely forgot to turn in my application and will have to waite for the next clinic to buy the stuff (im not that much in a hurry to go out and buy the stuff now so I can just waite for the next clinic).

Mike & Tim, thanks again for the class... that was my 4th time attending one of your great events... learning a few new tricks each and every time...

Unfortunately, I had to leave early due to prior engagements.... I didn't even get any pizza

We had a pretty good turnout even though a number of individuals didn't show up.

Can't wait til the clinic....

Here's forum member breastroker's Mercedes-Benz, (he's a swimmer),



His wheels are in need of some TLC,



We did a test spot with NXT All Metal Polysh and up-close you can see the difference... the area on the left is dull, oxidized and stained, the area on the right was polished with a foam applicator. A piece of terry cloth would give the NXT All Metal Polysh a little more cleaning power to restore these will to a mirror shine.

I have been using semichrome polish and another brand to keep the polished wheels shined. The fronts are much better; the rear wheels would stay oxidized looking.

So I was amazed when Mike was able to get a great chrome shine in just a couple of minutes with NXT All Metal Polysh.

Now don't get me wrong, Mike has increadible strong hands (wax on- wax off) and I know it will take me a couple of hours each to get them as shiny as the polished C7 rims on Mark Cummins Coupe. But this is one way to work off Turkey day.

The 5 gallon bucket is perfect for sitting on while shining wheels and using the DA buffer on the lower parts of the car.
If Mr. Meguiar is worried about lack of advertising from the pretty bag, then put the Meguiar logo on the side of the bucket! That way when we are polishing our cars in front of our houses, everyone driving by will know that great shine is a Meguiars shine!!

Again Meguiar has developed a great product.

But as usual you can't find it in the stores. I looked at the local Pep Boys and Kragen, neither had the NXT All Metal Polysh or Meguiars Clay product. Both had NXT wax, boster and wash, and Pep Boys had a bunch of the professional line of polishes and waxes.

I even convinced one guy to use ScratchX on his car while at Pep Boys.

Wayne, I can't even imagine polishing aluminum by hand, no matter how great the product. Those metal polishes are good for a booster, touchup, like you use the NXT Booster Spray.

You need metal polishing buffers that attach to a drill and some rouge. Having owned a non-chrome Harley I can appreciate the effort of trying to make bare aluminum look like chrome. Here's a pic of what a proper kit would look like and Mike can answer if Meguiars carries something like this. Notice the cone shaped buffers that would fit into the wheel openings. The stitched wheels are good for doing the larger areas that are easy to get to.

[Mark Cummins]

Another Idea would be to Use the Porter Cable and a Junk Buffer pad to clean up the rims with the Polish...Faster and Good results!

[breastroker]

Pure genius. Also old covers for the pads.

The 2004.5 and the C7 rims are mostly flat or large surfaces, so this should work great.

I only have good pads right now, but one will be used for this, too good an idea.

[Buellwinkle]

I think that you would have to be super careful with the DA buffer as it moves back and forth at high speed and you may catch an edge of a spoke or the schrader valve and damage the wheel and buffer. Stick to a regular drill and get the proper aluminum buffing wheels and rouge, it's really not that expensive, assuming you already have a drill and it's fairly easy. A well stocked hardware store may have them. The foam and wet polish will leave a mess on your tires that will be very hard to remove, if you use the da buffer, just mask off the tires before starting. You can do it Wayne, you can make those wheel's look like Mark's....

Who's gotten their Meguiar's Detail Day order yet? I got mine sitting at Fedex with signature required, arghh.

I heard a really ugly rumor that they decided to charge us for shipping, even after they promised that shipping is free. Mike, please say this isn't so!

Did you call Customer Care and ask them about this?

I'm not sure what or why a signature would be required?

Most the comments posted to our forum and other forums about our shipping and our Customer Care is positive, the few negative comments I've seen have been the exception, definitely not the rule.

Where did you hear or read that people attending the clinic are being charged shipping?

I'll forward this to the head of Customer Care and check with them tomorrow. You should call them also.

WBLynch got an invoice that showed shipping charges.

No big deal on the signature required, they provided a form to sign and they'll deliver it tomorrow. Can't do much with the product until the weekend anyway.

Can't wait to try the odor remover, put it in my dog's drinking water to make his urine odorless

Hey Buellwinkle,

My name is Jeff and I work in the Customer Care department here at Meguiar's. I could check into that for you, I would need the full name and address info the order was placed under.

Why don't you shoot me an email at Jevans@meguiars.com and I can see what happened. Everything should come UPS ground, and we do not require a signature. It is up to the UPS Driver at their discretion. Hope to hear from you!

[Buellwinkle]

My bad, I received 2 shipments today and the one that required a signature was from Cingular, not Meguiars. And no shipping was charged

I believe there's a pricing error on the Ultimate Bonnet where I got charged double the price per unit. I'll email you the details.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to investigate the issues you brought up. If there is a discrepancy with the charge for the bonnets, I can assure you it was an honest mistake and if you contact Jeff or Tim, they will go above and beyond the call of duty to make things right with you.

Thank you....

Mike
