The car looks great and sounds incredible! Those are magnaflow, right? Thanks for the update on the "ice" products. The only good product that I care for in the "ice" is there spray wax. Very effective and user freindly. No streaking that is. Keep up the good work!

thanks for the kind words. its actually an SLP LM1 setup with a catted x pipe

what about when it rains? does it run off the rubber/plastic? thats what happens to me when i make the plastic shiney with armorall protectant

Nope, it's just like the "wax" they use in an automatic car wash, it just keeps it shiney for a while, then dulls, reapply, all good again lol.

People, just use 303 AP and you will never buy anything else, ever. It works for damn near everything and doesn't run, isn't greasy, it's FTW! Armorall is FTL.

The ICE is horrible. Head over to autogeek's website and pick up some quality stuff. I find it hard to beat Poorboy's Natty's wax/Natty's blue.

RedDaemon · May 9, 2007

Well, since the people at advance auto were shaky on giving me a refund after opening and using the products, they told me to match the price of everything with other products in their store. So I picked up 35 dollars of new products which include:

Lexol Leather Cleaner & Lexol Leather Conditioner
Mothers Back to Black
Meguiers ScratchX
Meguiers PlastX

1. Lexol Products: Application of the cleaner was a breeze, you just spray a little onto an applicator (terry, foam etc) and work it into the leather. After you have created a foam to lift the dirt out you wipe it away with a damp towel. This is also the same for the conditioner, except you remove the excess conditioner with a DRY towel. Only weird thing about it was when i would remove the cleaner it would leave a lot of foam/residue of the cleaner behind. I might have just applied too much. Other than that the conditioner leaves the leather nice and soft. Since my seats are quite worn, it made marginal difference but I can definitely tell this would work great on a better pair of seats. 9/10

Mothers Back to Black: This stuff is liquid gold! It does exactly what it says it does. No bull****. You squirt a little into a dry towel and rub it into the trim piece, let it dry and buff away. Sometimes you need to reapply if straking occurs. The results are nothing short of amazing. 10/10

Meguiers PlastX: This only marginally restored my hazed, oxidized, pitted headlights. We all know how these headlights get. Well youre supposed to work the product into the plastic and wipe away to restore the original finish. This product does not cut deep enough. I will try this product again when i literally sand the plastic down enough with a progressively finer sandpaper and then apply the PlastX and see what happens. Right now, I give this product a 5/10. We will see what happens when i get some sandpaper

Meguiers ScratchX: Since I just waxed the car yesterday I did not use this on my car. When I do I will let you all know!

Yeah, wet sanding them through the stages (600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000) will make em' look brand new. What I usually do with headlights is the above process followed by some 3M compound, then follow it up with some plastic polish. It works miracles ... just takes some time and elbow grease.

i was a little unsure what grit to start out with, thanks for the info

The ICE liquid wax is the best product I've ever used. No white residue, makes the car shiny and remove all water spots. I won't use anything else from now on.
I used it on both my silver saleen and my GF black car, easier to apply than wax and great results.

I have always heard that you should use the Least aggressive method to restore the finish. I would not recommend attacking your headlights with 600 grit... I would start with 1500 or 2000 followed by plastic X and see how it works. Do a small section first and you can try some different combinations, but 600 grit is very aggressive... You don't want to ruin you headlights.

F.Y.I Meguiars has a forum for these questions and a lot of knowledge about restoring exteriors... they can probably answer the question more fully.
