    Placed in a show thanks to #83, #7 and NXT 2.0

    A BIG thanks to Meguiars for being instrumental in my car getting 3rd place in class in a Mercedes Benz Club national concours event this last weekend. Although I only took 3rd, one of the judges commented that this was the first time that he had seen a white car "pop". The third place was largely due to mechanical stuff: clock not working, non-stock radio, and other items.

    The process? No mystery, just basic Meguiar's solutions:

    1. #83 with a yellow pad on an orbital polisher to combat some of the swirling.
    2. A hand application of #7 show car glaze to bring out the best in the single stage white paint.
    3. Top off with a coat of NXT 2.0
    4. Ultimate Quick Detail Spray for touch-up.
    Thanks again, Meguiars!!!!

    Nicely done - and the first white car the judge had ever seen "pop" is awesome!


    And, oh yeah, you're welcome!

    Congratulations. It does make you feel great when a judge tells you how you made the white paint pop. That is great.
    quality creates its own demand

    Congrats, try M81 hand polish or #3 polish they are easier to apply/remove than #7.

    Very well done, White can be nerve racking at times but you pulled it off.
