- Scaling - Meguiars has products that I personaly tried to help combat the scaling on my car. It really did improve the overall look and hid at least 90% of the visible scaling. I already added a comment with more detail that should be available soon.

Shortly after taking possession of my Tahitti Green (Aqua blue to me) wave I noticed after I washed and waxed it the first time that along bottom rockers and going up the back door corners ahead of rear wheels that it had a whitish look to it. So I buffed till I could not buff anymore and it has always stayed that way, until recently. I tried something different as the car is now 4 years old and I am trying to make it last a few more years. I went into town to the store and started reading the different auto detail products. Meguiar
s seemed to offer a solution, so I thought I have nothing to lose but the cost of the products. So I purchased three of them. 1. Ultimate compound, 2. Ultimate polish, and 3. Ultimate liquid wax. (make sure the wax is the synthetic one!) I followed the steps on each bottle, after I went to the Meguiar
s site and watch a couple of video clips for some tips. Makes sure to follow the instructions. Because the wax has no white film or residue it leaves the natural color and finish showing more than the scaling. I could not believe the change in the appearance of my car, even when it needed washing again it still sparkled. For 86. - 100 bucks instead of maybe couple of thousand for new paint job. The wax seems to stay pliable only way can explain it even the bugs don`t stick so bad after baking on, they pretty much wash off with just the hose. I know it does not solve scaling but helps diminish the nastiness of it.- terryann, Maccan, NS, canada
