You can use the Meguiar's Interior QD to clean dirt, etc from surfaces, and then use the 303 or Nero to dress and treat the surface.

Hm. Ok. Yeah, the 303 guy I dont think realized how picky a Mini driver (hah!) can be. Meguiars is really the thing to use. OG told me about it, and ever since, I hardly ever bother to coat with heaivier liquids. I wind up cleaning the interiors 2-3x as often because the speed of Meg's QDSpray makes it an undaunting task.

I hear the 303 has 30 day 100% UV and diminishing until 90 days. I probably would protect once ever 4-6 weeks so that fits the schedule.

Same here, plus Hydro in-between the twins applications for a year-long easy shine.

I use the AIO and just love it, esp. topped off w/Meguiars gold class carnuba on my CR/B MCS: YUM! And sooooo EZ to apply!!

However, the SG is a real pain to deal with, and once I had it on--and spent two *laborious* days getting it off--I didnt like the shine all that much, too synthy for my tastes. So I AIO-d the car again, topped off with MGC, and end of story, I'm sold.

So I have a barely used bottle of SG for sale if anyone's interested (if you're in the Denver area we can hook up, just PM me). Y'all can have that stuff, just too high maintenence for me, like my ex. haha 'quence

The SG is not hard to get off! Just apply a REALLY thin layer, let it sit for a few minutes, buff off, and go over eveything with Sonus Acrylic Spritz. I've never had a problem.

As for the reported "reformulation" due to VOC regs, it doesn't seem to have made the product any less durable to me. With the SG over the AIO it lasts at least 6 months.

Yes it is uber uber shiney. I think it would look nice on your pepper white & the stuff is hard as a rock. I just don't like how it makes my red look. Let me know if you want it as my detailing bucket o/products runneth over

Like I said b4 I just didnt like the "synthy" shine the AIO/SG provided, and prefer the AIO/carnuba--at least for a CR car.

No I really do think SG is great stuff but as you said it doesn't do red or many other dark colors justice like carnauba does. I think on lighter colors it would be great

yep. My Mini is Pure Silver. With SG, it looks great to me. I've been using the Klasse twins for three years. Some of my posts on this particular subject. I used to do the combo twice a year, but with a 19 month old toddler, there ain't no time. So I've started using Hydro after my now too infrequent hand washes of the Mini this year. The triple combo looks great.

Bump for the Twins!!! Just finished AIO and Sealant Glaze application on my OB Cooper in a matter of hours...looks fantastic!!! For me this is the perfect product. Two steps, easy to apply by hand (if it isn't you're using too much), super long-lasting, heat resistant (for wheels), and well-proven. I bought the 10 oz. AIO and 17 oz. Glaze back in '03 (for my '03 Cooper) and I've still got plenty left!!! I guess that's possible on a very small car.
