Placed in a show thanks to #83, #7 and NXT 2.0

[karburn]

A BIG thanks to Meguiars for being instrumental in my car getting 3rd place in class in a Mercedes Benz Club national concours event this last weekend. Although I only took 3rd, one of the judges commented that this was the first time that he had seen a white car "pop". The third place was largely due to mechanical stuff: clock not working, non-stock radio, and other items.

The process? No mystery, just basic Meguiar's solutions:

1. #83 with a yellow pad on an orbital polisher to combat some of the swirling.
2. A hand application of #7 show car glaze to bring out the best in the single stage white paint.
3. Top off with a coat of NXT 2.0
4. Ultimate Quick Detail Spray for touch-up.

Thanks again, Meguiars!!!!

Nicely done - and the first white car the judge had ever seen "pop" is awesome!


And, oh yeah, you're welcome!

Congratulations. It does make you feel great when a judge tells you how you made the white paint pop. That is great.

Congrats, try M81 hand polish or #3 polish they are easier to apply/remove than #7.

Very well done, White can be nerve racking at times but you pulled it off.

The concours was part of the Mid America Caravan, a national event held by the Mercedes Benz Club of America in Topeka Kansas in mid-August. Our Kansas City section was the host club, but the head judge was from the national organization and refused to accept bribes. There were also driving events at the nearby Heartland Park. An awesome place. Topeka is just a little over an hour west of the Kansas City area.
