Hi all
I'm from the land down under and I have used nothing but Meguiars products on my cars since 1981. I have lurked in the background here for a while and I'm finding the information very interesting and informative.
I've always done my cars by hand but was lucky enough to be bought a Rupes for my birthday a number of years ago - unfortunately, just as I as was getting used to it, I developed a very severe shoulder problem and it became far too heavy for me to use. I was recently spoilt by being bought a variety of lightweight Shinano's and I'm slowly starting to regain some strength to be able to learn how to use these effectively. I love the feeling of getting a real connection with the car when working by hand and I think even when I become competent with the Shinano's there will still be times when I will do it by hand just to feel "good".
Anyway, I've posted a couple of shots of my cars to let you see what I use these great products on. First here's some shots of my 1956 FE Holden that I have had since October 1983 (2nd owner - family car) - it was like a blackboard when I got it but Meguiars and some hard work soon fixed that.
This is pretty well how it has looked since 1989 when it was rebuilt. (And, yes it looks like a baby '55)
I also have an 1957 FE Panel Van (sedan delivery to you guys). I bought it originally as a wreck around Xmas 1984 but "lost it" through a separation. Found it totally by accident again in August last year!
The everyday driver is a 2002 Holden Monaro (that's a Pontiac GTO to you guys!) Not the best photo of it as it has been scanned but you get the idea!
Last but not least, one you guys might be a little more familiar with! No paint yet - but hopefully very soon it will be a nice bright yellow and white!
Anyway, love my cars, love my Meguiars and I doubt I will ever be convinced to use anything else!
