Sarnie Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 got a kuro black z so its crucial that i use the right products. i have used meguiars in the passed and thought it was pretty good. any other suggestions? No. Meguiars NXT rules. Zaino maybe better but much more expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33r0y Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Meguiars NXT is okay but doesn't last long. If your going to use Meguairs, I'd recommend the crystal 3 step system, or Mirror Glaze range. Try Poorboys for the next step up after Megs, that's what I'm currently using. If you want close to perfection, invest in a Porter Cable 7424. www.autopia.org for loads of reading material. The ultimate is supposedly Zymol, but that is *very* expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4V3 GT4 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 P21s, top stuff goes on and comes off very easy. Clay bar and use Megs paint cleaner before hand for a deep wet shine! DaveH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 i love NXT myself, as it builds up nicely! after 2 years of using it, it is agreed that my car has a deeper blue tone than other Azures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l33r0y Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 http://www.ffcobra.com/magazine/waxtest.html I read that test and its flawed. The Meguairs section was not prepared in a similar way to the Zaino or Zymol sections. What they should have done was fully prep the whole panel using clay and a cleaner, then polish - *then* sectioned it off and apply each wax.

H5 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Agree Autoglym can be a pain to use. Although the best product they do is Ultra Gloss Protection (semi permanent). My previous car (trophy winner) took a 3 day hammering with the stuff all over and a simple wipe over with a chamois would return it to and amazing shine again. Also helped protect the front end from those stones..... Although after reading this I may try some of the others. One thing for sure, there's no short cuts, it needs elbow grease no matter what you use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
