Hi all,
I`ve always enjoyed cleaning my car but until now have been a one range man, starting originally with autoglym and then moving over to meguiars (3 stage, gold class, then NXT)
The dailly driver is a 4 month old focus approaching 10,000 miles of motorway use that got it`s first proper clean last weekend with NXT, which is why I`m now here.
I`ve always been a fan of meguiars since I was introduced to it and the new NXT range seemed to be a good progression on my silver lancer. I cleaned the focus with zymol super concentrated, did a meguiars clear coat body scrub, followed by a meguiars step 2 and then NXT wax. Having seen the usual shine of the silver I was mortified at the complete waste of a morning, sure the car was clean, but the finish was streaky and felt oily, not something I`d noticed before, but this made me look closer at the evo and sure enough, if you look closely you can see the streaks.
My wife thinks it`s anal, but hey I take pride in what I do, so out with the old and in with the new. Unfortunately living in the UK it isn`t easy to find Klasse AIO or UPP so I have to rely on USPS to get it to me.
I`ll see how I get on with the UPP and then I`ll look for something to seal the finish in, I guess the only thing I`m going to miss is the smell of the meguiars stuff :(
Just wait for all of the questions from me now :)
