Meguiars 3 Step: Question - 7/18/2007 8:41:18 PM    99lx Posts: 232 Joined: 11/27/2006 Status: offline I have a light green Civic, and on the Meguiars web site it says the polish works best for darker colored cars.  Should I skip the polish step because it won't do anything or should I give it a shot?  Has anyone tried it on their lighter colored car? _____________________________ D16Y7 with SRI Pioneer DEH-7900BT Head Kicker ZX400.1 480 Watt amp Rockford Fosgate P3 12 inch HID Headlights (8000K) Window Tint (35% front, 5% rear) Post #: 1
