Re: Need Help with what products to buy

Grab some M20 and M26. I am using that combo on my car now.

When you saw my Focus at the class it was a single coat of M20.

what difference did it make??As to shine or protection or in general and I thought u said you used M20 and then M21 not M26??? I am a little confused

Re: Need Help with what products to buy

So here is what I got for waxes
Now I might get 2 waxes as I have seen a few put 2 coats on...

M20-#20 Polymer Sealant – As the name implies, this is a premium polymer sealant. Unlike most products on the market labeled polymer sealant, this product works. The hardest thing to make a polymer sealant do is to bond and adhere evenly over the entire surface. Without the right technology behind the formula, polymers will tend to bond in some area, and not in others. This leaves some areas of your car's finish protected, while other areas are susceptible to damage. The chemist at Meguiar's went to great lengths to ensure that the polymers used in #20 Polymer Sealant bond evenly on all types of paint.

#20 Polymer Sealant contains a very small amount of some very light chemical paint cleaners, this helps to insure superior bonding for long lasting protection


M21-M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0
Hydrophobic Polymer Technology™ provides technologically advanced paint care and protection
FEATURES:
• Produces a noticeable deeper, darker, more reflective paint finish
• Visually eliminates fine scratches and swirls, creating a flawless finish
• Glides on easily with a smooth, resistance-free wipe-off


M26-M-26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax – This pure wax blends the highest quality Brazilian Number One Carnauba Wax with costly Polymers, Silicones, and special Resins to create eye dazzling gloss and depth of color while providing durable paint protection.

So which one of these will help me get the show car shine and protection. I need be I can buy 2 different waxes one for protection other for looks......need advice on waxes and polishes.

Re: Need Help with what products to buy

if you read my post I stated I will be purchasing G110 along side this order and also that the turtle wax ICE is a car wash soap solution but thanks for your time...

Also what I am confused about is the #3 what to purchase???

Ultimate Compound
ScratchX 2.0
M83
M80

What do you think would be the best to use on my car in my situation? want a show car shine in the end

Go with SwirlX. Your paint looks like it is probably in good shape swirl wise. SwirlX will remove any light swirls or scratches and leave you that show car finish you're looking for.

If you have a few heavier swirls or some RIDS ( Random Isolated Deeper Scratches) pick up the Ultimate Compound for them. Ultimate Compound has a lot of cut and you shouldn't need it for your whole car. As Tuck91 mentioned, If you find you need to use Ultimate Compound in a few places, you may need to follow up with SwirlX to remove light hazing.

I would give Swirl X a try, if you use ultimate compound you may have to use a less agressive product for the finish to be LSP ready

i hope this helps and Good Luck!

Awesome Car!

M21 is a good wax for silver or so I've read It's a synthetic wax, some have compared it to NXT series. It's not a relabeled NXT.

M20 is a great wax with some cleaning abilities with it although very light. Check your PBE stores, harder to find in stores.

M26 is a great wax, dries clear and pretty tough. It's pretty easy to find.

NXT 2.0 (and NXT 1.0 for that matter) is a tough glossy wax and very durable. You can see the difference when applying the wax and you can actually see where you missed applying wax. It's also readily available.

A popular combo is M21 topped with M26. (or vice versa .....)

Here's a great link that Mike did on waxes....

Re: Need Help with what products to buy

Number 1. Turtle wax ice? is it a car wash? Meguiar's car washes are clear coat safe and good stuff. NXT wash is pretty slippery stuff, GC soap is great stuff as well as the Mirror Glaze line.

Number 3.....

That is the big question.....

I've always started with M80 and work my way down or up depending on how much I need to correct my paint. Typically, my Neon is hard as nails clear coat needs some rotary time and an aggressive product. The Yukon on the other hand, M80 with touches of M83 is just fine.

I have not tried the new M105/M205 combo yet (M205 may do you good), nor have I tried the new products for '09 (not in my area yet!).

Also you need to figure out if you're going to do it by hand or by machine (PC, G110)

Re: Need Help with what products to buy

So far I narrowed down to
1. SET Turtle Wax ICE
2. SET Smooth Surface Clay Kit
3.?????STILL CONFUSED WHICH WILL BE BEST FOR MY CAR
4. SET M21
5. SET M135

Re: Need Help with what products to buy

lsp= Last step product, or your finish coat of wax or sealant. You mentioned M21 in your post, I would go with that. Just my opinion though.

ya, M21 would look great on your car
