Haven't taken pictures yet, Its a 91 K1500 its slade metalic w/ flame red on the side. Paint is in bad shape here's what I did.

1. Washed
2. Clay & washed
3. Meg's # 83 orange pad
4. Meg's # 9 white pad
5. Meg's NXT wax , applied by hand taken odd w/ MF on PC
6. Clean the bumbers, grill and rims with a blue cream, can't remenber the name.
7. Meg's # 40 for the bumber trim and interior.
8. Used some tire foam I'd had to black the tires
9. Stoner's Window cleaner, I like this really good

It looks good from about 10 feet away, but up close, you can see youself in the paint, but you can also see the water stains, scratches, It needs a paint job, maybe next year.

Have I left anything out? I have Meg's # 7,# 26. Not sure about my waxing steps, is there something else you sugest?

Thanks Rick
 
i think if you wanted you could top nxt with 26. NExt time if you want you can go.

83
9
7
nxt
26

You just need to experiement a little bit. But if you like the look you have then keep it, simple as that. Im looking forward to some pics.

If the water spots are still there, don't be afraid to go over the area a 2nd or 3rd time if necessary before moving on to your next step.

# 7 is a glaze with lots of fillers, IIRC NXT has some cleaners in it and would most likely remove the fillers so that might be self defeating.

You could do #7 and top with #26 or you could put a layer of #26 on top of NXT.

Like Greg said, you're the one who has to like the look.
If you're happy with it thats what counts.

Have fun
