FAO Meguiars Users

Righty folks, can anyone post the full steps they do while washing their car? I'm probably going to buy from the Meguiars NXT range and I'd just like folks views on what products are the best from that range and what steps you all wash your car in.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense but I'm very tired :sleepy:

Thanks again folks!

Not a fan of the NXT range at all, shampoo is nothing special, the NXT Sealant/wax is average, looks good on some colours but durability and ease of use are poor, better can be brought for the money.

I do like the metal polish though.

Are you limiting yourself to Megs for a reason?

 

[Darren S]

On a slightly seperate note, I found the Megs applicator pad to be great. Definitely something to recommend.

1. Watered down wonder wheels on all the, um, wheels, then rinse them.
2. Hose the whole car down, including the arches.
3. NXT Shampoo the whole car with a lambswool wash mitt, then using an old sponge for the tyres/arches.
4. Rinse off with no nozzle on the hose, letting the water sheet off the body work.
5. Dry whole car with microfibre towels, then take it for a quick blast up the road to dislodge water in the seals.
6. Get a cup of rosy lea while the car dries thouroughly.
7. Put the car in my car pool (for the shade)
8. Polish if required, otherwise, full coat of gold class liquid wax.
9. Buff off with more microfibre towels.
10. Clean all the glass.
11. Dress the plastic trim (autoglym rubber and bumper care)
12. Tyre dressing. (whatever pruduct i have lying about)
13. The result:

Autoglym Glass Cleaner is one of your best bets.

Fast Glass is ok for quick cleans, to deep clean the glass your best off with there Glass Polish.

Halfords sell both.

Instructions are on the back of the bottles mate, fold out type I think.

i dont rate their shop stuff really

applictor pads are good.
clay is ok but can just use other peoples clay nowadays cheaper.
gold class wax is average, it isnt really a proper wax just similar to AG super resin but costs more and is harder to apply/remove.

 

[Rich]

You cant compare Gold Glass Wax to AG SRP - AG SRP is usefull! Gold Class Wax is a very poor, a pain on and off.

 

[Dan_cup]

yea found them under the lip. i thought megs was supposed to be good, normally use SRP but thought id give it a go,
