It's been awhile doing these test/reviews and a little bit rusty at it but will get back into the swing of things with learning what and what not to do and also learned not to use my phone for pics! Here goes, tried out my phone with the light on for my flash and took 30 something pics but these are all that came out half way decent to post and thier not that good.
Been wanting to try the White Wax and the Black Wax out since I've seen them and getting back using Meguiars fully again so got the White Wax over the Black Wax this time. Also choose the White Wax for the cleaning ability and the fact of it having the SMAT abrasives in it and it being a AIO product that is stronger then M66 in the professional line of quick detail and this being in the consumers line product.
Here's what I'm using for this test. Was going to use the smooth surface clay bay but it's been used up way to much and using on glass now so used the mild instead.
Also use a G100 and a LC 5.5 light cutting pad and on speed 5
Didn't know how or what to expect with this AIO product with SMAT abrasives in it and remembered the first time I tried M105 out that it took me a couple passes to get my technique and feel down for it so just another learning curve and while using a light cutting pad because the test hood is swirled and scratched up a bit and going to be using White Wax as a cleaning step as if I would be doing a full paint correction.
This is where I would put a in 3 or 4 different angle pics in to capture the condition of the hood but again my phone pics wasn't doing a good job of capturing what I was working with so these couple pics is the best I had to start with. As I hope you can see their is plenty of swirls and scratch on the surface to be remove and to bring back a smooth and swirl free surface.
Next I sprayed last touch on surface to be worked on and grabbed some mild blue clay, I could feel the paint had contaminants bonded to the surface and could feel the clay bar grab and catch here and there but wasn't as bad as I expected did remove a light layer of film which you can see on the edges.
Here's what I applied on the surface of my pad to start off with.
I applied product by spotting my pad on 3 or 4 spots on my work area and then worked it all over area to be worked while applied about 10lbs. pressure to my pad and had G100 on speed 5 with slow arm speed and covering section with 3 passes with over lapping each pass.I applied and 2 coat with same technique as my first one and it just didn't feel right to me and didn't like how the product was laying or going on.
So on my 3rd attempted I changing the speed to setting 6 and just let the weight of my G100 do the work and a little faster arm speed and just 4 drops of product so as not to over saturate my pad which has been worked very hard over the years and again over lapping passes and covering section 3 times. Just to see if this was my technique with the speed of 6 and weight of G100 while using a light cutting pad I applied a 4th coat and same
Here's how my product started to lay/cover after the 3rd attempt on speed 6 with the weight of the machine. Again sorry I should have had the pics of the 1st and 2nd attempt but pics weren't to good and looked wierd/funny! Will do better on my next post!
After about 20 pics of trying to capture the after's here is the only pics that was clear enough to see.
Thought this was a great shot to show just how good a job of Meguiars White Wax did at being applied for a cleaning step for paint correction, look at the clarity of the paint where my overhead lights are reflecting on the surface of the finished side and what I started out with on the left side. You can make out the separation in between each bulb.
Tried to capture a good up close shot and with my flash on because my brinkman's battery is DOA!
With the tape strip removed to show a before and after and what the White Wax did for this dark blue metallic paint. I'd say that with that if I knowed my technique going into this the White Wax should have gotten this paint in this good of condition on just 2 applications with the speed of 6 and medium arm speed and the weight of the G100.
I will be keeping this on hand and will be getting the Black Wax for sure!
Had to take an overhead shot! Hope you guys like my little test/review and sorry about not showing enough pics and using my phone to try to capture reflections, gloss and clarity, just don't go good together but will try to have a better test next time.
