I really like Meguiars products!

LaserSVT · Jan 10, 2009

Man am I beat! I just spent 6 hours cleaning teh land yacht. I have been running it through the car wash so it was swirl marked really bad. Looked like crap
Now I dont have the cash to get the expensive chemicals. I have never tried them so mabey they are easier to use then what I do have but I really like Meguiers stuff Fairly cheap (Swirl=$12, Wax $15, Glaze $12) and I have used it for a couple decades with never any bad results.

This is what I use to restore the finnish. After washing and then clay bar I use these:

And as I said, I really like Meguiers

So here is the dirty beast:

And you can see how bad the swirling was

And this is after two runs with the swirl remover, Lake Country orange cut pad and the PC set at 3-4.

It was dark after I finnished so I have to wait till tomorrow to get some better pictures but here is what I ended up with

Yeah, my other one broke and i needed one in a pinch so had to go to Wally World. That was the only decient one they had
It works fine for a cheap jack so I havent bought another one. When it breaks I will get one of thoes rapid lift, low pro Craftsman jacks

i have the same jack

Get this to seal/wax, you'll thank me later:

Mobile Detailing Kits

It'll make your Cobra look even more sick.

Nice Job Bill!

I know how long it takes. Looks like it came out great!

SVT32VDOHC · Jan 11, 2009

Looks good Laser!

I use a mix and match of detailing stuff. After fresh paint and wetsanding, I use 3M's Perfect It II. Then I use Wizards Finish Cut to remove the swirls the 3M left. Then I go over it with Wizards Shine Master. In between washes, I use Meguiars Quick Detail FTW! That stuff always keeps the car dust free and shiney! Meguiars Yellow Tech Wax #26 is nice too. My Dad used that waaay back when and he still does. Now they have the NSX which everyone raves about.

BlownStangGT · Jan 11, 2009

Wow looks great!

LaserSVT · Jan 11, 2009

Thanks everyone for the compliments! :grouphug:
I think you ment NXG not NSX I love the NXG, best stupp I have ever used and for Meguires its expensive ($22) but it leaves a shine like no other. I thought I had some but I was wrong. I tried the Gold Class and its nice but the NXG is better

I also wore out my orange cut/swirl pad My black finnishing pad is pretty ragged too. I bought a new foam wax/glaze pad but I neglected to notice its post isnt threaded so it dont fit the PC

But I will go get some better pics now

Same stuff I use. Its fantastic. Better than anything else I've tried (including that overpriced Zaino crap).

erzats · Jan 11, 2009

nxt tech wax 2.0 great stuff some of meguiars best and I have just about all their stuff. Great job on the detailing look at as a labor of love nothing I like better then to clean up the bullitt step back and enjoy how good she looks.

LaserSVT · Jan 11, 2009

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

She is only my daily driver but I like the car. Its very fast, rides killer, very comfertable and 23 mpg
I put 2800+ miles a month on it and all I have had to fix were the brakes (old ones were Autozoners :notnice) and the power steering pump (again old one from AZ).
It has been a very reliable cruiser
And to think it was only $3200

SVT32VDOHC · Jan 11, 2009

Looks effin good.

I usually save my old pads for the edges of the fenders and good. That's where the get torn up, so I do those areas first, then put a good pad on and do the main areas.

Winters98GT · Jan 11, 2009

looks outstanding.

Looks good man. Meguiar's Professional line of products are great, just don't like their commercial stuff you see in the local autozone or advanced auto.

I really like Meguiars products!
