solar eclipse 2012
I cant answer that ...................But certainly yes, on this
greatest eclipse - Greatest eclipse is defined as the instant when the axis of the Moon's shadow cone passes closest to Earth's center. For total eclipses, the instant of greatest eclipse is virtually identical to the instants of greatest magnitude and greatest duration. However, for annular eclipses, the instant of greatest duration may occur at either the time of greatest eclipse or near the sunrise and sunset points of the eclipse path.

A detailer with real talent can create impressive results with off the shelf, inexpensive products. You seem to fit that description quite well. __________________ Michael Stoops Internet Technical Specialist Meguiar's Inc. (800) 854-8073 xt 175 mstoops@meguiars.com |

Out of curiosity, after all the Hondas you've done recently, how did you find the paint on the BMW in comparison? It seems you used D151 a lot on the other cars but M83/M80 here. What prompted your product selection here? __________________ Michael Stoops Internet Technical Specialist Meguiar's Inc. (800) 854-8073 xt 175 mstoops@meguiars.com |
