I just acquired a 10 year old black Lexus. It was detailed when I picked it up, but did not know what they did to it. After getting it, driving it, in rain and some snow, the shine and luster is quickly going. I want to give it the Meguiar Make Over! I just learned a 2 bucket wash, but don't know much about what to do after that. Can someone lay out what I need to get and do? From wash to wax. Thanks in advance.

Follow the above advice and you will bring out the potential for the paint. If your doing this by hand, Remember this will be very labor intensive. You may want to concentrate on one or two panels per day, Good luck to you.quality creates its own demandComment
