Found an amazing polish for wheels...PICS..plus meguiars 3 step review

Let me first start off by saying I am a freak about keeping my car clean. I wash it every week, wax every 3 weeks, and polish it every 4 months. I also like to wax my wheels about once a month. Before I found this product, I was using EAGLE's never dull, which was OK, but was kind of smeary at times. Than I was at autozone, picking up meguiars 3 step, and noticed Mothers Billet Metal Polish. On the can, it GURANTEED to be the best metal polish I have ever used, as you are thinking I was very SKEPTICAL, but bought it anyways. This was not CHEAP, about $13 for a very small amount, but IMHO, well worth it. You rub in the compound untill it dissappears, probally takes about 10 min per wheel, but mine are mesh so its a HUGE pain. Anyways, the wheels look better than new, these wheels are about 14 months old, and look BRAND NEW. Actually I think they shine better now than when they were brand new, they came out amazing, the product also lasts quite awhile and doesnt need to be applied every week. The product also works wonders on the exhaust, I could literally comb my hair, it is that high or a mirror reflection. To say I am impressed is an understatement, and this is coming from a cleaning freak. Well, i'll let the pictures speak for themselves, feel free to ask any questions. Next post will be on meguairs 3 step

Ok, now after doing the wheel polish, I than did the megiuars 3 step; paint cleansing, polish, and wax. This took about all afternoon and was well worth it. I usually use p21s inbetween to keep it clean, and that really provides an amazing shine. Also, when I really want to give it a wet look I use mothers #26 show glaze. Anyways, this was my first time doing it, and it took about 5 hours, it came out AMAZING. These two pics are the only ones I have as, my camera broke after taking these pics, they are right after I was done polishing. It looked even better after I applied the wax. I have had it on for about 2 weeks now, and it still looks like I just put it on, this being my daily driver as well. Im really impressed with it, its long lasting and very easy to apply. I think after puting on a coat of p21s it will look even better. But for $15 for all three steps you really cant go wrong at all. Again sorry for the horrible pics, I wish I had pics of it after I did the final step. Again please feel free to ask any questions

bought it used from the forum, its cardinal red from a s200, car is getting painted once side skirts and hood come in. So, I saw no point in spending another $300 for someone to paint it, when its going to be painted black with a blue pearl soon so.

It looks great. I was planning on buying the Zymol starter kit to use on mine but I think I'll use the 3 step megiuars first. $15.00 compared to $90.00 is a no brainer.

eww...megs 3 step. there better ones out there. but not off the counter lol. check out www.autopia.org
ive been posting it around rx7club a lot lately since i would love everyone to have a very well nicely kept exterior on their 7s. you should invest in a PC7427 btw. just go check out autopia lol.

woops. clean freak eh? lol. you probably already got a PC 7424 then. if you want kick *** depth on red, try meguiars #26 on red. its my favorite on red, but p21s works very well also.
