Talking Meguiar's Car Wash + Clay + Wax + Tire Clean











Note:
Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash
Clay-Bar with Meguiar's Quik Clay Detailing System
Waxed with Meguiar's Gold Liquid Wax
Tire Clean with Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Spray


I think the results are pretty good. Today's really cloudy outside, so there wasn't even a lot of sun - and the amount of shine is incredible.

I highly recommend Meguiar's. I've tried Turtle and Simoniz but so far Meguiar's has been awesome for off the shelves car wash/detailing products.

Very nice TigerMike. Nice shine and clarity to the paint. Your car has an elegance to it.

Thanks for the comment on the wheels:)

I've been trying really hard to keep a clean sedan feel rather than sporty, hence the m3-style lip spoiler rather than the mugen wing... i've been enjoying the challenge and being different from others.

I'm glad I'm going in the right direction

besides the Meguiars Wash/Clay/Wax, I highly recommend the tire cleaner I used. On the first day or two, it seems a lil too greasy, but on the 3rd day, it's incredible how it looks - very very moist and deep black to preserve that "new tire" look.

Try it out, you can probably get a spray bottle for about $7~8. Each bottle gives you about 50 tire cleaning. Be pretty generous on the spray and lightly wipe the product into the tire for best results.

I've tried turtle wax before and it was good too, but with meguiars the paint seemed to jump in my face.. it totally comes alive.

Post pictures when you're done:)
