Megs Gold Class Liquid

[aarolar]

Is this wax a cleaner wax or no? I searched and got contradictory answers.

Any idea? I already e-mailed megs and have`nt gotten anything?

You can find posts by some very knowledgeable Meguiar`s people that say it is not a cleaner wax.

You can also find posts by some very knowledgeable Meguiar`s people that say Gold Class does have some very slight cleaning ability.

My personal feeling is that any cleaning ability it may have is because of whatever is used as the carrier of the wax and I wouldn`t expect it to remove oxidation, previous wax/sealant or do any paint correction. I would only use it on paint that was in good condition to start with.

Ok that`s what I was looking for I intend on using it on freshly polished truck I am doing in the future.

You don`t have any location shown in your profile, but I think you are in Georgia. Given that you are in the U.S., I have to think you are located somewhere in the vicinity of a Wal*Mart. (Isn`t everybody?)
If you are still shopping for a product, Meguiar`s NXT 2.0 would probably be a better choice of product and it is available OTC at Wal*Mart.
If you already have the Gold Class, it should do a decent job for you.
Gold Class always looked good, but it didn`t seem to last very long. As I remember, it was pushing it to make 4 weeks.

Yeah the Gold Class was a gift and I just need to use it up I already have some ex on the way.

I agree with Charles... GC is getting a little old (I find) but does an OK job. In terms of durability, meh, not so great. I would definitely go for NXT Paste or NXT 2.0.

For a good Meguiar`s carnuba, I recommend the #26 meguiars mirror glaze. I am using it and I am happy with the results.

As a matter of fact, I wash my car and clayed it yesterday. Afterwards, I apply a coat of Klasse AIO and then two coats of Megs #26 carnuba and my car is pretty shiny.

As I recall, the GC is not trim friendly. It probably would be a good idea to try to keep it away from the black plastic on the vehicle.
