Jacko Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm knackered! Yesterday was down to be the car cleaning day of all days.....ended up being a long, long day but f**k me the car looks good (so I'm not driving it for today ) Unfortunately my clay bar kit, stage 3 wax and new mitt didn't turn up yet so couldn't do the claying, but managed to get the car done as below. Used a lot of the tips from the cleaning thread. Wheels cleaned with Meguiars Hot Wheels cleanerWashed, Rinsed, Washed, Rinsed with Meguiars NXT washDried off with Meguiars Water MagnetPanels were getting too hot to stage 1-3 then so hoovered inside.Used Meguiars NXT Tech Protect (Interior Protectant)Changed cracked number plate (front) to new front and new rear (why not)Stage 1 - Meguiars Deep Crystal System Paint CleanerStage 2 - Meguiars Deep Crystal System PolishStage 3 - Meguiars NXT Wax Sit back admire with beer Sit back admire with beer Sit back admire with beer Anyway, it should look bloody good as I'm so fussy that all in all I started at 10am..... and finished at 9pm!!!! (had breaks in between for lunch, jobs and sunday tea) but jesus..... where did the day go! (now gotta either keep it clean till next week, or do all again before JAE! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Bloody hell Jacko are you sponsored by Meguiars as well? Looks like it mate, but guess just through trial and error and found good products that I like...... Will try the Zymol range at some point as know the guys rave on that as well. But the Meguiars range works for me so far.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Havent you tried the Clay Bar treatment yet? You obviously do not read my posts properly Tim! As I said above, it hasn't turned up yet or would have done prior to the paint cleaner... Should be here today hopefully amongst a few other cleaning goodies!
