Hi to all car detailers enthusiasts...Happy CNY...i get to know this brand AUTOGLYM..just wondering what is the quality of this product? are they same level as Meguaiar?

Is there something I can use to clean PU covered seats? Or just wipe and vacuum is enough?

6th day(19/2)
from this
5 months ago this was extremely oxidised & revisited - results still good but found some scratches on the hood

to this


8th day (21/2) - a 2 months not wash Myvi - pearl zebra & leopard look



to



everybody think I am suffering from OCD -

I think i got wax in my blood stream...
i told all my wife no more marathon detailing in CNY...i need a break ...then came back home from home town...i .....:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep: even at work :sleep::sleep::sleep:..

thanks for viewing again

Added on February 23, 2010, 10:59 pmit depend what r u looking for ....shampoo for shampoo kind a thing......different brand only....

but in terms of detailing....Megs still have more acurate stuff fior each component.....eg
the best compound in cutting...megs M 105 every professiona; detailer in the world is using - that what i used in all my full correction details

check out sites like autopia, detailing world

As for the one of the better polish Megs 205 still a pro choice....i hardly read anywhere pro using the british brand....except the expensive wax by auto glym

PU....wipe with dam micro fibers.....& keep themm oil free from humans hand & food

try Gold glass (Meguiars) vinyl & rubber detailer...good stuff for it...not too oily feel

oo...i'm very new to polish/detailing, but my fren intro me this Autoglym in USJ..seems to be quite promising ..got the so called wat High Definition WAx/polish...issit that good?

How's NXT Tech 2.0 wax in our weather? I tried the Gold Class wax but it seems to wear out after 1 week. My car is always under the sun, by the way.

wax oso got HD now ka?

i checked it out from here http://www.highdefinitionwax.com/
really got wor..haha..sound like the contact lense advertisement..

agreed.... NXT still my choice of wax....few thing for u to consider...i got a tub of patse NXT...i think i wax about 75-80 cars ...still left 20 % of it...

then after it is cure for 8 hours...i then applied my gold class...that usually will not last if it is stand alone but when it is applied on the NXT sealant wax.....ma ma mia...see my black...very glossy & shinny & durable.....dont waste it but use it in another way


hahahahaha...u can also name it bazooka...just some definations

very expensive...quite boutique...my moderation still value for $$$$$

cant help it...easy to use & affordable.....when i got my Bently ...i will use paul dalton crystal case Swiss vax.....most exp tub...i think about 10K....USD or pound
hahahahah

until then

i need more $$$$ to buy more milk powder for my babies....cheers

Lots of great pictures and method. Looking back, I cannot believe it has been over 5 years since I wrote this. Just saw these water bead pictures, kinda therapeutic. LOL

hi guys,
The plastics part on the exterior of my car has been badly oxidized. Is there any way to make it black again?

I think you should know that the Gold class and NXt has cleaners in them. When you're lapping the NXT with the gold class, you're removing the NXT layer as well.......

KC,

I am interested in trying Meguiars NXT Wax 2.0. You seem to be very knowledgeable in Meguiars product. Do you usually layer another Meguiars product before applying NXT or maybe the other way around or just straight NXT? Let me know too your experience on durability. I would like something that will last 4 to 6 months preferably.

Car is just plain white and will be cleaned and clayed. Not worried about covering swirls, car is about 9 months old.

Interested to hear from you.

Thanks.

Tried Turtle Wax Platinum Ultra Gloss. So darn hard to buff after it dries. But it made my black paint look really shiny though! Also, I noticed the metallic flakes on my paint is less sparkly. Would be interesting to see how durable it is in our weather.

My car is always parked under the sun during office hours on weekdays. My experience with waxes so far:

Soft99 Extra Hard Paste wax = 4 weeks. Nice water beading for 3 1/2 weeks. Ok gloss and shine. Seems to attract dust though.

Meg's Gold Class = 1 week. So so water beading. Nice deep shine, but not that glossy. Makes the really surface slippery.



Also, do we glaze before or after waxing? I read that some people think that glaze will make it harder for wax or sealant to bond to the paint.

Also, anyone knows if Meg's Gold Class or Soft99 Extra Hard Paste contain any cleaners? And would that remove glaze?

thanks Red box

sorri for the late reply

the thumb of the rule here is this...a wax is a WAX.....it serve only for protection....

what do u do to correct if you got swirls? hologram?...scratches? paint oxidise? water stains? tar? birds dropping?


r u using hand only? or ROB or rotary? there are far too many product on the shelf claims this and that....
let see if any that can correct the above....

yes there is one of two like tar removal or stain water mark.....but how about swirls? scrathes?

only a well prepared car....makes the paint glossy....is the foundation is not strong....can u just apply wax & cover up?

check out thishere

another look at what the world has to says

Hey guys, how do I remove access wax that gets trapped between panels? And is it normal for paint to look... uneven? The reflection is jaggy.



Here's how Turtle Wax Platinum Ultra Gloss look on my car:







Here's after driving and parking near my office:
