  • Is it Live or is it Meguiars?!?!?!

    Well folks, I'm still in Fla with my folks. Dad and I spent most of the day working on our cars after taking car of Mom's car which was a topic of another post entitled, "Reflections in white".

    I had no intentions of posting the results of todays work but we saw some reflections that we jsut had to get a picture of and post for your perusal and viewing enjoyment.

    Hope you enjoy!


    You can tell by my arm in the lower left corner that this is still a reflection pic!


    From the side, about 3-4 feet back, the car hasn't been moved.

    Same angle, just further back.

            Thanks for the comments!

            The steps involved:

            1. Wash with NXt wash
            2. Claying the entire vehicle with Meguiars agressive clay.
            3. Meguiars #83 Dual Action/Cleaner Polish, applied with the PC.
            4. Meguiars #81 Hand Polish, applied by PC, removed by hand.
            5. Meguiars Nxt liquid wax, applied by PC, removed by hand.

            The same process was done to the vehicle you see in the reflection.

                Well I couldn't resist. I got back to Chicago earlier in the afternoon today, and was able to download the pictures I took from my camera which has a slightly better resolution on it.

                "Wrote a song 'bout it, like to hear it, here it go..."





                These next two pictures are at the exact same angle, just different distances.






                Wow, you can really see the orange peel on this picture! I'm still not ready to tackle on wet sanding or some serious finish correction with a rotary yet


                I still need to clean the lens on the darned camera, each picture I can see the small smudge marks

                    when seeing the reflection shots I just knew the car had to be a black Mercedes!!

                    Gee, now how did I know that???

                    You really did a nice job and caught the lighting and scenery at a perfect time.
