This is the 3rd time I've attempted to use it and am unimpressed. On my Santorin it does nothing for my swirls and appears to do nothing for the luster/shine.

My #1 complaint is I can NEVER seem to get it all off. No matter how long I let it dry or not dry, and how many fresh terry towels I use to buf it off, it always leaves what can best be described as smears from the residue.

I think I'm giving up on IHG. I figured I'd try once more using Ted K's IHG then GEPC method, but I think my bottle of IHG is going to be reserved for the trash pile and I'll use GEPC only, or find an IHG substitue.

Maybe you got a bad bottle? I'm sure you shake it up real good.

I don't know what to tell you...I've never had an issue like that before. You've read all the suggestions that we've given other people re: IHG...if it still doesn't do it for ya, I wouldn't be too upset. IHG is a lot of work for an effect that is merely temporary. Try on of the Meguaire's products. I'm sure boscoj can recommend something, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. I hear his juice is the shizzy!

I will try this with IHG and see if any oil comes out. This process also works with #5 glaze.

Here is the excerpt from my detail routine . . .

The next part is hard to explain but a great detailing secret use for #7 show car glaze.

What I do is get a nice thick terry wash cloth with plenty of texture and lay it on the hood. Then I take my #7 (the one without the cornstarch) and drizzle it onto the rag evenly.
Then fold it up in thirds and squeeze out the pure clear oil. You have to do this a couple times to get the rag wet enough. Then just go around working on small sections starting in small circles, then crossways and finishing lengthwise. Reapply #7 as needed. If you use good hand pressure this will really make a big difference in the final appearence of the car. This stuff does not dry so just leave it on unitl you are ready to Armour All or whatever.
As you go around with the hand rub take off the tape and thouroughly rub the bits under the tape.

At this point the car should look like hell, big oily mess. What better time to armour all. I go around with a shop rag saturated with water/armour all 50/50 and hit all the plastic rubber tires etc.

Now the car really looks bad. Now get your 4 clean bath towels cuz it's time to take it all off and finally see what a good job you did.
Once I get all the muck off I go around with a good carnauba or Meguiars #26 which I like alot. It is cheap, easy to apply/remove and does not discolor rubber.
Then buff that off and clean your windows and your done.

For a quick detail in the future just wash and repeat the #7 handrub then armourall and buff it clean. I do this about once a month sometimes waxing it as well.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/detail/msgs/180.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/detail/msgs/180.phtml</a</li></ul>

Have you tried Zaino Z5? Works great on my Ebony Pearl.

days??? Drop me a line and we'll try and figure it out. I have to actually do both cars soon. Getting the S back this weekend. Hope it looks good. If I find those petty thieves trashed the powertrain, it's getting sold, and hello M3.
