Fellow compulsive Miateers,

Here's one. Last thing the salmon says to me back in June is something 
like..."get a couple of good coats of your favorite wax on really soon." I take 
him at his word and within two months I waxed 5 times. If two is good, five is 
better, right?

Consumer Reports seemed to like the polymer materials like Nu Finish and 
Finish 2001. That's what I used and it looks darn good and beads water nicely. 
But...I received my free Miata mag which had the car care section (Spring 94) 
and the MCA recommends Meguiar products, specifically #26 yellow and #16 paste 
which I think are good old carnuba wax products. They also like Medallion, 
which I'm not sure about.

So, two questions. 

1) Any thoughts on switching to the Meguiars. I wouldn't mind and, believe it 
or not, all (including the vinyl window treatments) are available and 
discounted in beautiful downtown Turlock, key to the San Joaquin Valley.

2) If I switch, what are the ramifications of applying a Meguiars carnuba 
product on top of a polymer product? I don't want "Little Red" to come out 
"little pink," you know what I mean?

PS I'm learning a lot from this list. Someday I may be actually able to help 
answer questions rather than just ask them. TGIF and TTFN.
