The Cutlass - NXT 2.0/M26 combo (lots of pics)
Well, I decided to try the NXT 2.0/M26 combo on the Cutty tonight. I did the interior the other night, think I spent around 3 hours on the interior, and about 3 hours on the exterior tonight. I got the chance to use some new stuff tonight as well - some stuff I hadn't used before. The new stuff I used were NXT Car Wash (I went and got the kit at Lowe's), M26, Hot Shine tire gel, Smooth Surface clay, and the Supreme Shine microfiber in the clay kit. The Hot Shine tire gel is good stuff. A bit greasy perhaps, but it looks good. The Smooth Surface clay bar was too small for my liking, I had a bit of a tough time hanging on to it at times without dropping it. I think I like my 200 gram clay bars from Clay Magic better. That's just my own preference, of course. NXT car wash - pretty good, but didn't seem to suds up as much as Gold Class Car Wash or Deep Crystal Car Wash, and I'm not sure why. I added soap a few times. Oh well. M26 - Love it! 
An absolutely fabulous product. Goes on easy, comes off easy, no smearing, no dust, just that luscious Meguiar's shine! And the Supreme Shine microfiber? Wow oh wow! And just when I thought that microfibers couldn't get any better. I adore that thing! I think I'm going to have to order more. Just me, my car, my iPod with some good rock songs playing, and Meguiar's products - what better way to spend an evening? Anyway, on with the show! I'm going to try to get some better pics tomorrow in the daytime.

Look at the weatherstripping in this photo - Looks good, don't it?
M40 on the dash
Door jambs cleaned - these were kind of difficult to access, so I just did the best I could
Exterior pics
Clay bar - and I just clayed this thing a little over 2 weeks ago!
Hot Shine tire gel on the tires
As I said, these pictures don't do the car any justice. But I must say I love this combo. It just gives the paint a nice warm glow. Makes it slicker than a baby's butt, too!
I'm going to try to take some better pics tomorrow. Thanks for looking!
