Goedendag Meguiar fanatics,
I'm Ryan and I live with my wife and kids in Belgium, the Flemish part of Belgium, where we speak Dutch.
I'm now starting to learn how to keep your car clean, shiny and protected.
Here is my little story of how I found Meguiar's stuff for my car.
We were on a holiday in France last year and after a few days spending there, suddenly there was a big scratch on the passenger side of my Toyota Avensis Wagon from the passengers door until the back tail light.
I think some vandalistic people have done this to my car, I cannot imagine what else could have done this. And to be honoust I didn't wreck it myself
As I'm a freak about my car, you can imagine this hurted a lot. So I started looking there in France for a shop to look for some advise to be able to remove as much of this scratch.
The person there gave me some dark polish in a tube and a red bottle of Meguiar's cleaner wax.
After looking now into the product line of Meguiar I couldn't recognize any other products of Meguiar there in the shop, only this cleaner wax. So maybe you can bring the French "Feu vert" shops a visit by your sales manager in France to sell most of your products, such as ScratchX, ultimate compound, etc.
If I would have that stuff there, maybe I didn't had to repaint the whole side...
So I had to put the polish first on the scratch and after that he told me to put the cleaner wax on it, which did a great job to make the line almost invisible.
I managed it to get a lot of the scratch invisible by doing a lot of polishing but I went through the clearcoat because the whole scratch line got very hazy.
If I looked beside the scratch line I could see also the place where I used the polish.
After a few months of leaving it like this and after I washed my car a few times you could see it again...
Then I contacted my dealer and asked him to repaint the side unfortunately.
But since then I used sometimes the cleaner wax which is great stuff.
And after installing the iphone app and reading some topics here on the board I'm starting to learn how to use all of that stuff and in which order !
In the meanwhile I have bought the yellow shampoo, light wax, tire gel, brake dust barrier, ultimate polish, ultimate compound, some applicators and nxt tech wax instead of the ultimate liquid wax because the dealer hadn't the ultimate wax on stock so I hope the nxt tech wax is OK too?
And here a latest picture of my car with only used the shampoo and light wax:
