  • SAAB 900 ... a morning with Meguiars.

    Today was one of those great detailing days - warm, but not humid and bright, but not sunny. I thought I'd have some fun with my Meguiars products ...

    I washed with Simoniz Advanced Wash & Wax ... yes, I know ... but it's all I have in at the moment. Quick inspection and I reckoned I would get away with a pure polish, so out came the #7. Mmmm ... #7 is just such a good product. I then applied a layer of #26 Hi-Tech Wax (in liquid form) and buffed off after it had cured. Just for fun, I broke out the #16 Professional Paste Wax and popped a layer of that on, too.

    Here's some "beauty shots" from this afternoon's drive ... sorry about the haze - I can make a car shiny, but I can't control the weather:

    ... down towards Denholme:




    ... over at Bradford West National Grid distribution hub:




    ... and some more on Picasaweb:


    Finally, a couple of fun compositions:

          Nice pics! Love the composition shots.....I was born in Ipswich and my Dad was stationed at RAF Lakenheath from 68-72. I loved the English countryside!

            Very nice. I do like the background.

              Thank you for the comments, guys - I had a lot of fun this morning and really enjoyed myself doing the actual polishing and waxing. I like to lose myself in the job, much like some enjoy gardening I suppose.

              I really like this combination - the #7 speaks for itself and I like how #26 darkens the finish, leaving a really deep, pooling finish. #16, of course, just adds that lasts little zap of gloss and leaves a finish that really suits this car. Aside from the paint, I used Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection on the wheels and rest of the car was done last week - Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel on the exterior bodykit and Autoglym Fast Glass on the windows.

              I really wish that it was less hazy this afternoon - I'll get some really clear shots up in the hills (which is actually less than five minutes from my doorstep, what with me living up here in them) another day. The reflection picture of the fence took absolutely ages to get just right - I wanted the reflection to simply carry on the same lines and getting that angle was really quite hard. I have a lot of others very similar, but this one came out just right.

                My buddy loves the Saab. He has a Saab 900 SPG named Baab. He will be checking out this thread.

                      Beautiful older Saab 900 and countryside pictures. I had an old 9000(maroon) that was not detailed when i bought it, after two years sold it to another Saab fanatic and he commented on the quality of paint (by then the vehicle was 10 years old).
