Meguiar's ?

Post by Ericske »

Hi,

Got the new car for a week now so 'she' needs her first wash soon (when i stops raining here in Belgium :shrug: ).
Looking for a manufacterer of produts and back in the day i used Turtlewax. When i went to car shows, Meguiar's was just up and coming (so you see, talking about waaaaaaaay back :D ).
So i was thinking about giving this brand a try (can easily order some stuff online).
What are you guys (and girls) thinking ? Experciences ? Any recommondation about what line whitin the range ?

Thanks in advance
Eric

Hello,

I've had my car detailed a couple of times and the products used have mainly been autofinesse ones. The results have been fantastic so it may be worth having a look at their stuff.

For all car cleaning related issues I find detailingworld a very useful site. Personally I use mainly Optimum products.

Many owners will swear by one product or another. I use some of the Dodo Juice range, but there are lots of specialist products out there, most of which are probably very good. Only someone who has used a number of different products in a limited timespan (as they are all being improved all the while) would be able to give you a valid opinion whether one product or manufacturer is better than the rest.
And why stick with one manufacturer for all of your car cleaning needs ?

Whatever brand Ericske, you should consider a paint sealant.

this stuff really makes car washing really easy, especially PH neutral shampoos.

products on this link http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... waxes.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
are what i am refering to, and i prefer the spray-on wipe off liquids.

in winter you want something that can be wiped off quickly.
