  • A day with Automundo Magazine



    Meguiar's Garage recently had the good fortune of hosting Andres Aiello and Joaquin Barroeta of Automundo Magazine for a car care article they wanted to put together for the magazine and website, automundo.com. Automundo Magazine is the premier Spanish language auto magazine on the market today, and it really is a beautiful publication. From the quality of the images, the style of the layout to the quality of paper used, it really is a gem. You can check it out online at www.automundomagazine.com, or read the April 2010 issue (including their article covering their day here at Meguiar's) online at http://automundomagazine.com/digitalmag/abril2010/Default.html Even if you don't speak Spanish, you need to check out this magazine! Of course they also have an online Spanish language automotive blog with up to the minute auto industry news at www.automundo.com

    We had a great day with Andres and Joaquin, two super passionate car guys who were very eager to learn all they could, and we covered a lot!! It certainly doesn't hurt when they bring us a car like this Nissan 350Z to play with, either!

    But this Z had some issues.....


    ....swirls and holograms galore!!!




    Mike Pennington goes over the finer points of setting up the G110v2 before getting started.


    Technique is critical. Here Mike uses Ultimate Compound with a W8207 Soft Buff 2.0 polishing pad on the G110v2


    The results of our initial test spot. Now that's what we want to see!!


    Work then starts for real as the guys get started on the whole car.


    Once the paint was corrected and a coat of NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 was applied, we turned our attention to the interior.


    The finished car rolls out into the sunshine, and she looks fantastic!!

    Very nice job guys.

    That 350Z looks much better after a Meguiars Makeover!

        did you go straight from Ultimate Compound to NXT 2.0,
        If so does either UC or NXT have some polish compound or oil in it?

            What a improvement. The car looks darker, richer, then when you first started. Great work guys.

                  that car looks like it could melt its so creamy looking! were they doing a how-to for car care.

                  That comment about going from Ultimate compound to Nxt clears up some questions for me the NXT 2.0 and Im assuming M21 2.0 is the same as it has polish oils in along with wax (sealant) compounds.
                  BTW, Michael where can we get some of those Meguiars decals at has to be some sort of deal for the MOL users!!
