1986 Ford Bronco II - Extreme Makeover

[Mike Phillips]

Meguiar's new ColorX did an impressive job by itself on this 1986 Ford Bronco II. This truck has it's original paint, all it needed to look like new was the right products and a little passion for the task at hand.

Hopefully this coming Wednesday, I'll be able to take some fresh pictures around noon under better lighting conditions.

Looks great.

Can Color X be applied by PC?

Color X looks like a winner. Is it the consumer version of # 66 ? Will NXT bond over it ? Would it be a good prep for NXT ? I can see that if the finish is a little neglected Color X is the way to go.

very nice! I did the same thing to an 80's Volvo, it was pretty impressive what you can do with Meguiars

Fantastic job Mike!

Will ColorX work equally well with both clearcoat and single-stage paints, or is it more suited to one over the other?

I have used it on BC/CC and it worked really well, I topped it with NXT. I will try and post a pic later.

Mike, that is a drastic change. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful job Mike, interesting product....Do you find ColorX more of an abrasive or chemical cleaner ?

[gb387]

that is impresive... I have never waxes a sigle stage paint so I have a question. On a single stage paint is it posslibe to wax it to much and take more color out of it than you should and damage the paint?

It will work equally well. I have a before and after coming up on a car with a bc/cc paint system where the clear coat is horrible.

I'll post pics and write-up when I 'm finished.

Yes.

Technically, we’re their new neighbors. We couldn't ask for better people, they have welcomed us to the neighborhood and already let me buff out their car.

Next is the neighbor with the 1963 Impala.

As far as I know, it's chemical cleaner. It feels like a hand lotion to the touch.

It sure works well, smells good too.

Carnauba based ? I would expect minimal protection if thats the case ? Not knocking, just making an observation....
Release date ? Im interested !
