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?

i say give it a shot. polishing isnt going to hurt it regardless of the color of your car. make sure youre doing all three steps in a shaded cool area or it will make it look sh!tty. let us know how it goes.

good luck!

 

Thanks for the reply John, I will give it a shot when I wake up tommorrow.

 

Not to hijack but why must it be done in a cool shady place? I end to do mine in the hot *** sun and it still looks good but i only do one part of a panael at a time then wipe off.

 

the hot car panels cause the product to dry too quick. not allowing you time to work the product. you should do ALL of your cleaning in the shade. it's easier on the finish all around

 

+1 to matts. couldnt have put it better.

 

I cant argue that because the damn polish wold dry in seconds lol. What i do i just do small areas at a time.

Next week ill try to do it in a hsady spot but its hard for me because i dont really have anywhere to do this and tend to do it in the street by hand with no buffer.

 

Well, I did the polish and the wax today and it turned out really nice, it's a perfect mirror shine all over. Just because your car isn't black doesn't mean you can't use polish!

 

riiight.....i have never heard anyone say "Only polish your car if it is black, or only black cars look good after a polishing" A good wash, polish,and a good quality paint together should equal a good looking mirror finish.....but good stuff, try the NXT GEN polish that Meguiars put out a while ago, it works very well.
