Here is my first Correct (Meguairs) detail. 2005 Dodge Ram Rumble Bee. Steps: 1. Wash, 2. Clay, 3. 83&80 on front clip, 4. 2 passes of 80 on the rest. Total time: 6 hrs 15 mins. Tomorrow: 5. 2 passes of 26, 6. dressings.




After Wash


After Clay (Swirls all over)


After 2 passes with 80


The finished product tomorrow, still have to apply 26 and dressing to rubber.

The new G110 is awesome.

Re: Black Bee

Okay here's the final result. I would say I'm fairly happy. I went with Gold Class wax, I was in debate over that , 26 and NXT 2.0. The swirls are gone but I need to do "some passion" by hand on some scuffs and scratches.




The only reason I say "fairly" happy is because I really saw what 81,000 miles of California Highway driving has done to the front end. Time for the cowl hood and SRT bumper. Only if I can conveince my wife...what does she need in return?

Re: Black Bee

Wow, you say this was your first complete detail, the Meguiars way. I say you did a excellant job. The truck looks great. You are well on your way to becoming "Meguiarized". lol.

Mike couldn't do it without the Open class that I attended (Feb 23), You (and Barry) conveinced me to try again after the last disaster I had with a lesser rotary from Sears and my moms BMW 540. I was only into maintenace after that but the class got me excited and reenergized at doing a full detail. Thanks Megs, I'm excited at continuing my education with you guys.

By the way my Dad saw it today and can't wait to try out his G110 soon. It's inspiring to say the least.

Jesse, you helped relight the fire under the seat. Two years ago since we met up. I owe you big. Thanks.
