  • 1st Time PC User

    Hello.

    I recently imported a PC into the UK so I thought I would share some of the pictures I took of my first experience using the PC. I must say I am really impressed with the PC. Theres still plenty of room for improvement on my car but that will come with more experience and time.

    This is the process I used:

    Washed with Sonax Gloss Shampoo
    Clayed with Autopia Yellow clay bar
    Applied Megs #83 DACP with cutting pad @ #5
    Applied Megs #82 Swirl Free polish with polishing pad @ #5
    Applied Megs NXT Tech Wax with polishing pad @ #4
    Applied Megs GC Trim Detailer to all plastic
    Applied Megs Endurnace to tyres
    Appled AG Glass cleaner to glass

    Anyway on with the pics

    Before Washing, 4 weeks worth of brake dust on the wheels, yuck!







    After washing with Sonax Gloss Shampoo





    After claying with Autopia Yellow Clay bar







    After applying DACP and Swirl Free Polish with PC







    After applying NXT Tech Wax with PC

















    The PC took a bit of getting used to but I was soon in the swing of things. Once I return from my Holiday I am going to go over the car again with DACP(polishing Pad) Swirl Free Polish (polishing Pad) and 2 layers of NXT(polishing Pad).

    Comments opinions welcome.

    Anyone else not seeing the pix or is it just me?

        I dont now what I could have done wrong. I can see the pictures from both my desktop PC and laptop. I posted the same post on another forum and that works. I hosted the pictures on imagestation.com should that be ok here?

            yep, the prob is with Imagestation.

            for those who want to see the pic, right click on the X, select properties, highlight the URL of the photo, copy, then paste in your address bar.

              I checked out the url addresses for all of the pictures and everything is correct, if you snag the url address and copy and paste it into the address space in your web browser it takes you to the picture.

              So the problem must be with the picture hosting company.

              I have saved your first picture into your gallery, here on Meguiar's Online. (Every member gets their own gallery).

                I don't know if you changed anything, but I can see the pics just fine. AWESOME by the way

                That is a sweet color, it looks kind of like a honey brown/gold
