  • Meguiar's Products You Can't Live Without

    I thought I would start a thread on those products sold by Meguiar's that you cannot, or at least do not, want to live without.

    Two Meguiar's products have become virtually indispensable to me. I'm sure I could find equivalent products sold by other companies, but these work so well for me that I am just not tempted. Please remember that I am not a professional. I'm just an enthusiast who details regularly his two personal vehicles.

    First indispensable product: M20 Polymer Sealant. I know this will come as a shock to most readers, but the more I use M20 the more I am impressed. I have found that for my black S2K water spotting is my most formidable enemy. If I don't wash my car almost immediately after it gets rained upon (and often I cannot or just don't want to) I end up with water spots on my paint. These spots seem to be resistant to paint cleaners like Four Star's Ultimate Pre-wax Cleanser, yet M20 is often able to remove them, as well as stains and embedded dirt.

    M20 brings clarity to the paint and leaves a glossy and slick finish. I cannot speak to durability--though a few MOL members, I know, use it as their winter wax. I always top it with my wax flavor of the month. M20 is also one of the easiest liquid waxes I have used. After allowing it to dry, it buffs off regularly; and I have never had any problems with streaking or cloudiness. In any case, I find I am using it frequently now in my regular detailing of Luthien. Rarely am I able simply to apply a fresh coat of wax after, say, a month's time. The paint needs to be cleaned; water spots need to be removed. M20 accomplishes this for me and lays down a layer of protection.

    Second indispensable product: Ultimate Compound. I know that professionals prefer the power of M105, but for an amateur like myself, Ultimate Compound is much more practical. When applied with a polishing pad and G110, I am able to remove most of my swirls. UC usually leaves the paint LSP-ready, but I invariably finish off with M205 and a finishing pad. Unlike M105, Ultimate Compound does not dust (or at least not nearly as much) and it has a longer working time, which I like. And because it shares 105's SMAT technology, I do not need to worry about breaking down the abrasives. I work it until I don't want to work it any longer.

    What are your Megs' products you can't live without?

                Jeesh, Nick, why don't you just say, "Everything that Meguiar's sells!"

                  I was thinking of saying something like that.

                  Now how did I forget M205, Meguiars Wash Mitts, Water Magnets, and M80?

                            I would say everything, but just limiting it down to about 3 of my favorite products I would choose:

                            Gold Class Car Wash
                            M105
                            Super Degreaser

                            The performance of those products is just great!

                            I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

                            I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
                            Remove swirls my friends.

                              I certainly agree with everyone else on the products. I would want Clay, 205 and NXT 2.0.

                              I think we're "legally" obligated to say Grit Guard as well since it is now a Meguiar's product.
