Extra Shine Help!

[luke667]

Right, i am a meguiars fan.....and its the only detailing thing we get around here....no i`m sorry, but zaino, and mothers recommendations will be useless...:nixweiss



this is the process that i use...



1) Rinse with Water

2) Wash using Gold Class Shampoo

3) Rinse with Water

4) Wash with Gold Class Shampoo

5) Rinse With Water

6) Dry off with Autoglym Hydra Flexi Blade

7) Go over car with Chamois

8) Go over car with Meguiars Ultimate Wipe Coth

9) Step 2 Polish of the Deep Crystal System

10) Gold Class Wax

11) Quik Wax



Then obviously wheels, tyres and etc.....



What else can i do, or add to get a deeper, wetter, more reflective shine?.....if its possible hehehe :D

M-8132 Hand Polish could be used instead of #7, depending on your paint (single stage,base coat/clear coat). IMO, 32 is easier to work with. (Search) I got pretty good results with: 32, 20, 26. What ever touches your finish can scratch (Dull) it, if there is a tiny speck of dirt on a blade, chamois, cloth. If the dirt is present, will it become the "Leading Edge" on what ever touches the finish, or will the dirt be trapped below the surface? I get fewer scratches by using CLEAN 100% U.S.A. Cotton White Canon towels, or Micro Fiber cloths.

I think you actually mean #81. The 32 is actually just the size in ounces of the bottle. Typically with Meguiars part numbers the first two digits are the product number and the last two digits are the container size in ounces.

Why are you washing your car twice? I cannot think of any real advantages. I agree with Rek, swap your chamois for some decent MF towels. I would also consider buying some clay to really help with the prep. Prep is really the key to getting the best shine, along with the right equipment.



What products are you using on the wheels etc?

Well I could be very wrong but judging by the products used, i.e. Autoglym....... All Meg`s stuff from what would be the usual consumer range, I`d hazard a guess your a UK bod????
