Hi,
greetings to everybody from Hannover, Germany.
I am 42 years old, work for the local government doing computer security, and own a 2-year-old Nissan 350Z. I am a coupé nut, since I earned my first money as a student, I have never driven anything else - VW Scirocco 2, VW Corrado 16V, Nissan Silvia 200SX, Nissan 350Z. I tend to keep my cars for longer than average - the Silvia was with me for 9 years.
Detailing is a new hobby for me, and though I have read a lot about it, my practical skills are still quite basic. I didn't spend much time on my old Nissan Silvia, and after some years, this neglect showed - especially when I sold the car and found out just how much I could have done to improve the appearance for myself, had I started this earlier.
In february 2009, I switched to the 350Z and want to keep it as mint as time allows. It's a former company car from Nissan, and the package included one year's worth of swirls from their internal usage.
At first I used NXT TW 2.0 to cover them up, but when I attended a "car care clinic" at Meg's Germany I found out how easy it is to correct paint with a DA, especially on a grey two-stage-paint.
The meg's system is quite complete - I got a DA for christmas and plan to use it with SwirlX and UC after using up the included Menzerna-polishes. It's a pity that these units come with the rotary-optimized Menzerna-polishes, but their 250ml-bottles seem to be a nice addition for bundles.
Currently, I use Meg's Clay kit, M16 and supreme shine towels for my car. As stated, the up-and-coming polish will be Swirl-X instead of Menz PO 85 RE5, but first I have to kill the current bottle.
The M16 is really a great wax, and having mastered the task of thin application, polishing it out is easier than any other wax I have ever encountered. My car is no garage queen, and M16 lasted throughout most of the winter which was especially hard. Let's hope that it is still sold when I ever hit the bottom of my current tin
There is one product I would like to use in the future: Last Touch, diluted 1:1 as a clay lube. However, I am not yet sure whether this is a good idea before the application of M16. Do the solvents in M16 cope well with the remainder of Last Touch?
Best regards,
Detlev
