i'll stick w/ my method. wash car w/ Dawn to strip your paint down to the clear coat, dry w/ the Absorber, clay bar it, apply Meguiars professional line number 7, and then professional line number 26.

 

Same here, but I have no idea how to use the claybar so mine turned into a big rolled up ball

 

You guys are crazy doing all that stuff. I was the car with Dawn, hop in it as soon as I'm done, hop on the highway to dry it off. Come back and spray on No Touch Tire care and I'm done.

 

That's the exact method I was using... I'm still going to clay the car a few times a year, but use NXT. The shine is noticeabley better than 7 + 26.

 

I just finished polishing my car with the NXT and I must admit that the application and removal was very nice. Easy on and off. I didn't go with my normal 3 step process of stripping and then rebuilding the shine, but a quick wash and then a thin application of NXT and the car looks pretty good. Not a bad product in my opinion. And this was on 10 year old paint.

 

i love it....wish it would cover up my sctratches though

 

It made what little swirl marks I have disappear... deep scratches require some compounding w/ a buffer. Meguiar's scratch-x is goo b/c it removes the majority of scratches w/ out being as agressive as a true rubbing compound.

 

scratch-x is garbage... meguiars pro #9 is a LOT better.

 

Is this the stuff in a tan bottle? If so I was at work checking it out today, I was thinking about buying it too.

 

No the tan bottles are Meguiar's "Professional" products. They contain no paint cleaners at all where as the stuff in the red bottles all has a mild paint cleaner in it. The NXT is in this funky puple bottle with a sparkley lable w/ a gay import on it.
