Beautiful car as always and the best color!!

Longtime Meguiars user.

Have used the Gold Class for years but recently tried the new NXT.
I think the NXT is just a little easier to use. With the Gold Class if you applied too much it was a pain to wipe up, but the NXT is a little easier to get up IMO.
The finish is about the same.

When I want to go all out I use
Meguiars Brands:
Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner,
Clay bar,
Scratch X,
Deep Crystal Polish,
NXT wax,
Leather Care lotion,
Gold Class Vinyl/Rubber Protectant
Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant (for dash, less shiny)
PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish
Chrome Polish.
Gold Class Endurance High Gloss- For Tires and Rubber parts (High silicone content)
NXT detailer as needed.


The only non-Meguiars products I use are:
Mothers Back to Black
Unelko Glass Scrub gel cleaner
Unelko Rain Clear (Better than RainX)

Thanks leesha.. yours aswell. :)
Can you see that skinny guy in the front bumper LOL

:lol2: no so post me a pic in the Hot guys thread!:lol2:

What are the benefits of the Deep Crystal Polish??

It is a nice step before waxing...............especially after stripping the old wax and clay barring. Basically it give a deeper color and finish.

Okay this is another product I have to add to my list. Thanks for the info...will post thoughts once I try it...

yes indeedy feed the needy

Doze what is that suppose to mean??? I know...you have toooooo many windows opened and you typed the wrong msg in the wrong window... :lol2:

So I'm getting ready to do the whole ball of wax (pun intended). I wanted to make sure I got my order correct.

Does it matter if I clay or clean(scratch X) first?

So this is what I was planing:

1) Wash Car
2) Dry
3) Clay
4) Clean
5) Polish
6) Wax

Did I get that right?

Thanks

Yes you got it right

Great. Thanks!

you will be amazed after you claybar your car. i did it a week ago and was amazed

^right on the dot!!!

i read this thread a few weeks ago and i finally got around to claybarring and waxing today.. i'm happy with the results.. oh and i also have a couple of questions:

1. should i apply the wax thick or thin?

2. should i let it dry completely before buffing out or get it while it's still moist?

i used the meguiars clay bar kit after i washed and used the tech wax and on the wheels too.. thanks everyone for helping me get started..

all in all, it was a well spent sunday.. here's some pics..
