There is a liquid bottle of the same stuff which is $27 but didnt know if that still wouldnt be great cause of the formula. Interested to hear what others use and the result..


You should use the actual meguires polish, the one you rub in with your hand, that makes the water bead, trust me, i do it on my car, sometimes the panels go perfectly dry

I've got a few different waxes and sealants that I'm happy to let you try out.

Hopefully sometime next week if you're free? I have a ton of assignments which are due this week, but I should have a short free window after that.

I wouldn't say it was difficult, it was quite time consuming though as I'd consider myself an electrical novice so I spent a lot of time triple checking things. I tapped into a fuse behind the glovebox and there's a hole at the back of each footwell so I just fed the wires through there. It's only on a switch, I didn't even try to get into the dome light circuit. It's my first lighting mod and I get the feeling there'll be more!

I know my ralliart will run a little lean with this on, but is it going to be a big deal if I have this on for a couple of weeks before getting a tune at the end of may??
