Wash Wax Polish Buff

[shaffiq]

All,

I'm about to take posession of a MKIV LS400, Balmoral Bronze and I'm a little confused as to how I'm gonna keep it clean and looking pristine! :iraqi-info-minister:

OK I know I gotta wash it (shampoo) but what is conditioner??? Sounds like I'm at the hairdressers! And what's the difference between polishing and waxing???

I have been talking to various people and reading the posts here and I'm gonna go for the Meguiar's stuff. The website does explain a bit about the different products but it's still not clear what I need to use and how often. Obviously I do wanna protect the paint and want it to look brand new every time I take it out!

Any hints and tips??? Is it true that different products may have different results on different colours?

Hi Shaffiq, Welcome to the Club.

If you do a search using the forum search above, you'll find that the Maguiars range of polishes are highly recommended here! :)

I have also used Autoglym, it also good stuff :)

Welcome to the club

Meguires is the doggys

It's easy:

To clean your car all you need to do is ....

1 Wash the car using Gold Class shampoo. Rinse and dry using a hydroblade or chamois

2 Use Clear Coat cleaner

3 Use detailing Spray and clay to remove any bonded on crap

4 Scratch X for your swirls and scratches

5 Gold Class Wax

6 Polish with finishing cloth

in between all these stages it is advisable to drink lots of tea

as it will take all day

7 Take photograph of car and post it on here :D

8 Go to bed

9 Wake up next morning to find bird c**p on car

Repeat............

Lol you right there Pee.j...he look just like a saleman from Maguiars........wish he did wash and polish my IS on Sunday.......... ;) :P :P

Glad you all looked at his car on Sunday..........

He's just got it back from Lexus S (shhhh) after its service and they've added two lovely big, broad scuffs / scratches to his bumper...

I don't think Scratch X will work on those :(

Watch this space, see if they take responsibility

Mr Wild,

as proof of the capabilities of the Meguiars (I believe this is the correct spelling :D ) range, would you give my car the full monty- only to prove how good it is and to encourage my custom you understand...

[MsW]

I wish he did work for Meguiars - he'd make a fortune on commission..... <_<
