[Rob's Garage]

Hi everyone....

I am new here, and I just bought an 85 corvette. I will be doing a complete transformation on it, but in the meantime I want to revive the old paint as much as I can. I will be ordering the G100 today (just waiting for them to open). It looks like it will be just the thing I need....

Thanks for all the helpful info on this site about how to use the products too. They will be very helpful, as this will be the first time I will attempt this. Any pointers for a first timer??? Wish me luck!

Hi Rob,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online!

As far as pointers go, take your time and focus on the task at hand. Tis always better t do it right the first time then to have to do it a second time.

Washing
Before detailing your Corvette, first do an extremely good job of washing it. Remove all the dirt from all the nooks and crannies. This prevents any small abrasive dirt particle from entering into the machine polishing process and potentially instilling a swirl. Get the Car Sparkling Clean to start with and everything will be downhill after that.

Claying
After that clay the car, at least the horizontal surfaces. Again, do a good job of claying to insure you remove all above surface contaminants. The level of gloss you can achieve from your car's finish is mostly determined by how smooth you can make your paint. Claying will make your car's finish as smooth as glass.

Cleaning
Cleaning is different than washing. Cleaning is removing both above surface defects like oxidation and below surface defects like swirls, scratches, etchings, and dirt that has embedded itself under the surface. Choose the appropriate paint cleaner for the condition of your car's finish and your application process. If you're unsure of which paint cleaner or cleaner/polish is right for your car, describe your car and if possible post a picture and we'll be glad to make some recommendations.

Polishing
Polishing after removing the defects is typically using a pure polish that is non-abrasive to restore brilliant high gloss and deep, dark reflections. This is an optional step and one best used on medium to dark colored car.

Protecting
This is where you apply your choice of wax or paint protectant. Adding a layer or two of wax creates a sacrificial-barrier on your car's paint to protect it and also add shine and gloss. Generally, two thin coats will insure even coverage with a uniform appearance.

Maintaining
Maintaining is the use of products like a quick detailer or a spray wax to maintain that "Just detailed look" in-between regular washings, and the regular application of a normal coat of wax.

Hope this helps...

Post any more specific questions and our members or myself will be happy to offer our help and suggestions.

WOOOHOOOO!

Just got a PC for Christmas. Guess I need to order the Essentials kit on Monday.

[kaze81]

Got the G100 and the essential kit on dec 21. Then on Dec 23, I washed the car and used the clay, G100 with #83 and step3 of Deep Crystal Wax. The result is
I am fully satisfy with the result.

When I met w/ my friends over the xmas party, they said my car is really smooth...feel like I got a brand new car on the xmas day

So, I think my purchase is worth it. Fully recommended for those of you who havent taken this opportunity.

I have already sent an email to see if we can get an extension on the offer and will post the information as soon as I hear back.

I JUST GOT MINE TODAY!!! I'm so excited to try it out...except the only problem is that I think it's supposed to rain all week. I guess I'll just have to wait until Saturday. No problems with the order and everything that I ordered was in the box, including #80, 3 ultimate bonnets and the set of 3 pads. I'm so happy it's finally here and can't wait to give it a try for the first time.
