Default Meguiars Medalliion Pics

Here is a link to my pics in another thread. And I only have a Video camera that takes stills, so the quality is not real good. Sorry.

Anyway, this is how the car looks after 2 coats of Medallion Premium Wax. Whatcha think?

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217898

Should I leave it alone, or add a top coat of #26 yellow wax or _____? I have a big car show this coming Sunday that I want to look good for.


Notes - first I clay barred the car, and then polished the car with 2-3 coats of Menzerna polish, & then 1 coat of Medallion Paint Cleaner all using a Porter Cable, and I am using blue pearl microfiber towels.

Looks nice. Have you tried NXT?

Topping with 16 or 26 would look nice too. Try it on a body panel and compare.

I haven't tried NXT yet. Someone on Meguiars website suggested that too. But I hear that REQUIRES a topping coat to make it last more than 3 weeks, so I'd end up with yellow wax over it for sure that way. But I like the color of the car now, so I'm looking for a sanity check that its good enough. I almost always put a coat of 26 on, but it gives the red paint a creamy look (it is yellow wax after all).

Yup, I relied to your post over on the meguiars site as well.

As far as needing something to top NXT for durability, I've run my car on 2 coats of NXT for a while now, and don't see any diminishing effects after 2+ months. Seems durable to me!

When u guys let the car sit for more than 48 hours in between coats, do u guys rewash the car to take any debris that has collected? I mean...even if ure car has been sitting in the garage, its bound to pick up particles.

I'll just use some quick detail to remove anything that's built up.
