Re: First real cleaning job in years
Thanks Rusty Bumper,
I did pick up some Even Coat Microfiber pads,and I was think of getting a 4 pack of foam pads as well.
and yes #27 wax is what I have.
I used to have a black Volvo 760 that I used #7 on along with #20 Sealant and it used to turn out with a mirror finish.

Re: First real cleaning job in years
ricks778, I would get hold of some microfiber applicator pads to apply your cleaners with, as this will give the product more bite.Originally posted by ricks778 View Post
I have tried both of these cleaners (#2, and Ultimate Compound), and my gut feeling is that #2 is going to be the stronger of the two. Course, it wouldn't hurt to come back with an application of UC, with a Hi-Tech sponge applicator, for the final pass as UC probably has the better gloss of the two. Just be sure to remove UC with a microfiber towel, as UC tends to smear if removed with a terry towel.
I've tried both waxes, and I think you'll like #26 (I'm presuming that's what you are referring to as the yellow wax) the best.
As for #7, I don't use a pure polish very much, but there is an art form to removing it correctly. Read my last post here for the best removal advice.
Good luck to you!Leave a comment:

First real cleaning job in years
I decided to get my truck, (2002 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner) looking good after years of neglect. I have cleaned out all the junk inside and have the inside and outside trim almost all detailed. Now it is time to get started on the paint.
I have some pretty bad water spots and some light scratches that I would like to remove. Along with the light haze that is in the paint.
My plan of attack is, clay bar, Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound, #7, and then either Gold Class paste wax, or Hi-Tech liquid yellow wax. (Please advise on which wax.)
All comments or suggestions are welcome. I would like to use what I have. I also have #2 Fine cut cleaner. However, I will be doing this all by hand. (No Polisher yet)
Here are a few pictures. The paint is really a dark green metallic, sorry about the lighting.
