Yeah Joe, that's what I meant by saying that Meguiar's won't look greasy if it's done right. I still get some streaking from the usual places and have just been touching it up. I generally do it on weekends when I know I can leave it garaged for at least a day after application, after which getting it wet isn't going to get you all the streaking. I just ran out of Meguiar's and tried Mother's Back-to-Black to see what the fuss was about. It looks just as good (I believe a bit better) initially, but it is proving to be less durable than Meguiar's. And a bottle of Mother's won't go near as far. Out of curiousity, I searched the archives to see about when I started using Meguiar's, and it appears to be around September 2003. I just ran out recently, in 2005! That was ONE bottle of it, folks, and it's not like I'm being stingy with it. The trick is using it right and maybe the fact that my VX is always garaged when I'm not at work. But it still sits out plenty too. At the rate I use it, I figure I got around 30 applications out of it. I also use a foam pad to apply it. Any cloth applicator will be more absorbent, whereas the yellow foamy ones do not and once saturated, do not require you to reapply the gel to the applicator nearly as much.
