I'm guessing that due to the oily feel it has fillers in it that help hide minor imperfections in the paint. Using a buffer heats it up and helps it adhere. Trying to remove it by hand would be tough. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to adamc44) Post #: 16

It gets rid of most swirls on my car. I also got some PlastX polish, that works well too. Just went shopping a little today. _____________________________ 95' Honda Accord 4 door, EX, 4cyl Auto Transmission 181k http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2495815 NGK Iridium plugs; NGK Wires Hornet Security 2 12" JL Audio W1 with excelons in the back JL Audio A1200 Amp; Kenwood Unit (in reply to adamc44) Post #: 17

It does pretty well for an over the counter product assuming you're going to use it by hand. If you are going to use a buffer there are better choices out there. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to noboundaries6289) Post #: 19

I saw it on the site but none of the stores around here carry it. Is it any good and should I buy it online? _____________________________ 95' Honda Accord 4 door, EX, 4cyl Auto Transmission 181k http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2495815 NGK Iridium plugs; NGK Wires Hornet Security 2 12" JL Audio W1 with excelons in the back JL Audio A1200 Amp; Kenwood Unit (in reply to RTexasF) Post #: 22

Great look but poor duration. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to noboundaries6289) Post #: 23

RE: the perfect shine - 3/18/2007 3:30:28 AM    noboundaries6289 Posts: 234 Joined: 2/11/2007 Status: offline anyone know of a product that makes rubber hoses in the engine compartment shine? Instead of just replacing all hoses. Sort of like the product mentioned above, except with a longer duration. thanx _____________________________ 95' Honda Accord 4 door, EX, 4cyl Auto Transmission 181k http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2495815 NGK Iridium plugs; NGK Wires Hornet Security 2 12" JL Audio W1 with excelons in the back JL Audio A1200 Amp; Kenwood Unit (in reply to RTexasF) Post #: 24

You can get it at Pep Boys or order direct from Stoner. I buy it by the case since this one product works on engine compartments, wheel wells, tires, dark trim, air dams, and more. http://www.mslt4tires.com/ < Message edited by RTexasF -- 3/18/2007 9:10:24 AM > _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to noboundaries6289) Post #: 25

RE: the perfect shine - 3/22/2007 11:04:12 PM    R34Accord   Posts: 8 Joined: 3/12/2007 From: Norway Status: offline Meguairs Tech Wax is highly recommended for black cars. Also the Step 1 to clean surface, step 2 aply wax, and step 3 the protection. Its worth it on black and dark painted cars. Awesome. _____________________________ *+_ Custom Spinner Honda _+* (in reply to RTexasF) Post #: 26
