ho02pey90 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi guys and girls! went on a bit of a spending spree last week and went detailing crazy! haha, ill list the products that i used and what order they were used in took me and my mate about 10 hours! Started of by washing the car with Meguiars gold class using a washing mitt and cleaned the wheels with meguiars alloy wheel cleaner with an alloy wheel brush cleaner once all cleaned i drove up and down the street to get most of the water off then dried with meguiars micro fibre towels once all dry we pulled the car inside the garage and started to clay bar the car using meguairs clay kit with the meguiars detailer once all the car was clayed the surface was nice, smooth and clean! i was surprised how much muck and grit the clay bar pulled off the car! now it was time to start the polishing so i got my new meguiars v220 machine polisher out and started with the stage 1 meguiars paint cleaner polishing it all in using the yellow polishing pad then wiping of to buff up by hand on 1 panel at a time same steps repeated with the stage 1 paint cleaner again but with the meguiars stage 2 polish now for the stage 3 meguiars deep crystal carnauba wax, i read a few reviews on this wax and people were put of by it but i thought i would give it a try and use stage 1,2,3 together. i worked it all in with the machine polisher with the black buffing pad on, i left it on the whole car for around an hour then applied the smear test and it was ready to get buffed off, i went round the car twice to make sure all the wax was buffed off. now it was time to clean the windows and head/rear lights using the meguairs next gen glass cleaner what smelt really nice! haha and get rid of any of the polish or wax that had spilt on to the windows. I then applied the meguiars tyre gel and was very impressed by the gloss look on the tyre. i then applied the trim restore to the grill in the bottom of the bumper and to the plastic trim on the wing mirror plates. and finally to finish off i polished the exhaust with meguiars metal polish and some wire wool. Earlier in the week i also used the headlight restoration kit as one of the headlights was fading and it worked a treat! here are some pics just after the car was washed and dried and then the next morning all complete! AFTER THE WASH AND DRY ALL COMPLETE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
