Re: Newbie here

I'm no expert with Meguiars products but my suggestion would be for starting out:

Gold Class Shampoo, Smooth Surface Clay Kit, and NXT2.

Re: Newbie here

You just heard of Meguiars? No offense but how? It's prob one of the biggest names out there for years when it comes to car wash and wax.

Re: Newbie here

What are you working on?

Bought a second hand Honda Civic EX Silverstone color

What condition is it in?

Well maintained in terms of exterior and interior

What are your car care goals?

I want to keep it that way. I want to make the car ALWAYS look like new!

You just heard of Meguiars? No offense but how?

I've heard of it way before. I just realized that since I own my car, i want it to be treated the best. My dad uses the "reptile" wax.

Re: Newbie here

Those products will get you started.... as Mike says a summer student could open a detailing business with those... But I am sure you will expand to more things as well...

Re: Newbie here

browsed the forums and I can see the importance of the clay kit. unfortunately, the clay kit is out of stock. would the products I bought suffice?

[Murr1525]

Re: Newbie here

You can certainly do a first detail with those, then clay your next time around.

1. Wash
2. ColorX - work in at least a little as you apply it.
3. Nxt
