My Two Year Meguiars Journey - Thanks!
Hey All,
My car has come a long way over the past two years since I joined the Meguiars family. I've been apart of several automotive forums in my life but none whose had a more supportive community than this one. Thanks to the incredibly active moderators and you detail enthusiasts I've been able to keep my paint in great condition.
I've done a pretty good job of documenting the journey and wanted to share it with you all. I had some previous detailing experience but you guys were able to refine those skills starting from the beginning.
Bought this 2006 Nissan 350z from a Lawyer out of Houston, Texas. This was a picture from the original autotrader advertisement:

2008:
And here is a picture gallery of its first detail!
At this point I was using the consumer line Meguiars claybar, quick detailer, G110, and M80/83. This was before the 105/205 dream team.
And the results of its first detail:
2009:
It's around this time I got bit by the detailing BUG which we all know so well. I ended up buying a big box of new products and increasing the size of my customer base:
For the next 5 months I detailed several cars and increased my detailing experience exponentially. With you guys on my side I was able to tackle any problem.
However I was very hesitant to switch from a DA to a rotary and even more nervous to start wetsanding. With a slight push from a local detailer I made the jump: Meguiars Help Thread
2010:
And here we are now.
A large Meguiars inventory (mostly in smaller bottles)
And the paint is looking great:
The above pictures were taken for a couple website features:
I created this thread to give a big thanks to the Meguiars team and to the community. You all have been extremely helpful obtain my goals and hone my skills.
I've posted some of my favorite details along the way:
