Hello everyone. I just found this forum. Never been on any detailing forums. I mostly hang out at lawn mower and car ones.
Been using Meguiar's products since 1988 when I first got a car with nice paint job.
First car that paint mattered was a 67 Pontiac LeMans. It was 87 IROC Z blue (code 23 I believe bright blue poly). It was stripped to bare metal and front and black glass pulled and all door panels removed and interior for repaint.
It was nice!
About the 2-3 wash the swirls came and I about died, being 18 and all. I got pretty good at getting it looking good but later and still have a Buick Grand National with repaint of bc/cc. I had to up my game to get the black looking flawless...or as close to flawless as you can get.
I am out of the loop on these sealers or whatever they are.
I remember Liquid Glass being a sealant type but never really likes it or had any spectacular results from it. It was like 13.00 back them.
I used a lot of #3 machine glaze IIRC. I had a friend that liked #7 but I did not. Too hard to remove and no real great improvements. Same with #9.
I have used wool pads after wet sanding for polishing and black waffle pad for close to final finishing.
I have always doen Zymol and wax by hand. Never used to applicator power ones.
I used #26 paste wax as a top coat some. Cleaner wax is pretty good but I have had better results with Pro Ultimate Cutter followed by two coats of Zymol by hand. Then gold class paste and I had some NXT 2.0 paste wax too.
Meguiar's quick detailer is always on hand. The black bottle was a little better but I can't remember which one came our first the Gold Class or Ultimate. I think it was gold class that I used. Amazingly enough Turtle Wax Emerald series detailer was even better on my car but they quit making it.
This was on a show car that never saw rain or snow but a bird did get it one time. I guess this is where the sealants might give better protection to cars that are driven regularly.
I have a black SUV to detail now (will need some clay) and it will be daily driver and sit out in sun (SW Oh, so not the worst) and driven in winters. So I have to get back good at doing this.
