Default What Meguiars products do you use?

Well I want to get the ultimate wax kit. Looking for something that will make it really wet looking and last. There is a lot of choices with Meguiars so want to know what works for you.

Thanks,

Erik

I use their gold class soap and their gold class wax. I like the results I get from them. On both of the big cruises I've gone on I've gotten complements on my car looking like it just rolled off the show room floor and another one saying that it looked like I had spent the entire week gettin that shine out of her. My only complaint is that sometimes you get some oily spots but if you just spend more time rubbin it out it does wonders.

I've also used their 3 step wax system, paint cleaner, polish and wax and it looks equally as good. I just replace the wax with the gold class now though. The durability of the wax I cant say so much on. I've never tried any other wax on her so I cant compare.

I have used several of their products, inlcuding Meguiar's Natural Shine, Gold Class car wash, Gold Class liquid wax, 3-step (though that was a LONG time ago), Cleaner Wax, NXT, #7 Show Car Glaze and #26 Tech Wax.

That said, the only prodcut of theirs I still use is the Natural Shine. It's not that I dislike the other products, but I've found products I'm comfortable with that give me very consistent, repeatable results. I'm sure if I spent the time investigating every product in Meguiars (very extensive) product line, I'd probably find a combination that I would be equally happy with.

Thanks guys. I have tried a bucketload of waxes and can never seem to stick with something. One thing that really impressed me was the clay bar. I was amazed the first time I tried that.

#20 Polymer Sealant, #26 Tech Wax (paste form), #34 Final Inspection. On smaller cheaper jobs Id use the NXT Tech wax.
These are the Meguires specific items I use. I use other brands as well.

That said, the new Z-AIO and Z-CS products look very interesting, and I wouldn't mind giving them a shot.
