What kind of products do I need?

[g2ney]

Hi guys,

I have a black 2004 Mazda RX8 and my car has:

swirl marks
front bumper attacked by numbers of rock chips
light to medium scratches pretty much everywhere

I did some research but there are so many products...getting lost

Can one of you recommend me products from wash to finish?

Welcome to Meguiar's Online.


Do you have a car polisher? What type?

It looks like you need to perform 5-step paint correcting cycle:

1. Wash/ clay
Gold Class Shampoo Conditioner/ Next Car Wash
Smooth Surface Clay Kit

2. Clean (swirl/ scratch removal)
Ultimate Compound/ SwirlX

3. Polish (gloss restoration)
Ultimate Polish/ Deep Crystal Polish

4. Protect (wax/ sealant)
Your choice of wax or sealant: Gold Class Carnauba Plus/ Next Tech
Wax 2.0/ Ultimate Wax

5. Maintain: Ultimate Quik Detailer/ Ultimate Quik Wax to keep your vehicle
in good shape.

Additionally good microfiber towels are important part of any detailing project: Water Magnet and Supreme Shine are great.
You also are going to need glass cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner and tire dressing: Next Glass Cleaner/ Gold Class All Wheel Cleaner/ Quik Interior Detailer/ Ultimate Protectant/ Endurance Tire Dressing.

Those front paint chips may require a touch-up treatment.
