    '06 True Blue F150

    Hello all!

    I have been using Meguiar's products for a little over a year now and I must say I am really impressed with them. I have tried the Mother's line, but did not really like the way they worked at all. Since I have been using the Meguiar's line I have been using the three step process and it does work really well, but I would like to get that deep gloss and shine with the professional line. I have light swirls and scratches, but besides that the paint is pretty decent.

    I was wondering what steps I should take to get the deep gloss/wet look on a blue truck. Here are the steps I was thinking of.

    Was - GC or NXT
    Clay - Smooth Surface Clay Kit
    Clean/Polish - #80/#83
    Wax - NXT 2.0
    LSP - Hot Rims Chrome/Hot Shine Gloss Spray/Trim Detailer/Chrome Polish/Stoners Invisible Glass

    Any input would be greatly appreciated

        I used to do everything by hand, and the results were decent. But this year I am thinking about getting a Porter Cable 7424 or something similar. The Porter is about $180 where I live.

        Edit:
        Would replacing the #80 with #105 serve any justice?
        I am looking to place an order with eShine today, so any help is appreciated.

        Thanks for the Quick Replies guys.

          M105 is a very powerful compound, if your truck is in good shape and if M80 and M83 are working fine and giving good results your are looking for then theres no need to use M105 unless M83 isnt doing job.

            I haven't used any of the Mirror Glaze products yet but I am in the process of making my order. Would I use the #83 before #80?
