[s-cars] RE: Car detailing

Hint: you can buy P21S wax (that costs $25 and is availabale almost exclusively online)
from your next-door Harley-Davidson dealer for $15.  Ah, forgot about small detail - even
that it is same wax from the same company in the same jar, label does say "S100 cycle
wax". Marketing miracle ;) And yes, it does work very nicely on black paint, although now
I prefer polymers. Again, you can grab P21S wheel cleaner in the same place while you are
there (again with a price break and relabelled as "S100 cycle wheel cleaner").
As usual, disclamer, YMMV, it is almost 1 year since I was there last time.

And, AFAIK 3M Imperial Machine Glaze is more of a filler, not polish - it will make your
paint look better, but only temporarily, utill it eveporates.  If you like 3M products (I
do) you could use 3M Swirl Mark Remover (for light or dark cars - difference between them
is insignificant); it is very mild polish that makes it safe in hands of novice, and
it DOES remove swirls and very minor scratches, when used with Porter-Cable orbital
buffer.
