    While the G-100 is an easy tool to use, (even your first time), it's still important to focus on the task at hand.

      After applying the NXT Tech Wax using the G-100 Dual Action Polisher and allowing it to dry for approximately 15 minutes, we put a new, dry W-8006 foam polishing pad onto the Velcro backing plate and slipped on a Meguiar’s M-9920 Ultimate Bonnet, (a microfiber polishing bonnet). These ultra soft microfiber polishing bonnets do and excellent job of remove the Tech Wax while leaving behind a clear, high gloss finish.

        Re-inspection of the surface reveals the water spots are gone…

            Sorry to have to correct you, Mike, but the Boss 5.4 IS NOT a Lightning! I'm afraid it the the poor cousin from the other side of the tracks.

            This IS a Lightning, but I'm sure the SoCal Lightning owners set you straight....

              Thanks Gonzo.

              Now for some more pictures from the event.

              Here's a a member using the G-100 to apply NXT Tech Wax to his Ford Lightning Truck.

                I'm pretty sure this was the first time this member had ever used a G-100 dual action polisher. Here he is using the M-9920 Ultimate bonnet, (a microfiber polish bonnet for removing polish and wax), to remove the NXT Tech Wax.

                Notice how he has the electrical cord draped over his shoulder to prevent the cord from coming into contact with his Truck's finish.

                  The NXT Tech Wax and Meguiar's microfiber bonnet on a dual action polisher produces a mirror finish...

                  Check out the crystal clear reflection of the neon Meguiar's sign in the finish of the hood as well as the lights and the reel that holds the power cord after the Tech Wax has been removed.

                    After he finished removing the Tech Wax, he pulled it back out into the parking lot to make room for the next person. I captured the below photo.

                    Not bad for one coat of Tech Wax.

                      Next two bright red Ford Lightning Trucks pulled into Meguiar's Garage for a NXT Tech Wax makeover.

                        Here's a club member going to town on his finish using the G-100 dual action polisher to apply #83 DACP using a W-8006 foam polishing pad.

                            Here's what we call a beauty shot, and I don't mean him, I mean the high gloss, wet-looking reflection in the hood!

                                At the same time, the other Ford Lightning Truck was getting the same treatment, here the owner is removing the Tech Wax with a microfiber... The color of this truck is Crimson Red, which was very different than the other red Ford Trucks here today.


                                Check out the extremely clear, high gloss results...
