  • Spring cleaning with Meguiars #16 on Brilliant Black.

    This is my first post on Meguiar's forum. I thought since I used a couple Meguiar's products this might be interesting. This is only after pictures, didn't intend to post this when I started.

    Process:

    Wash: Optimum No Rinse
    Clay: Clay Magic Blue Clay
    Paint: Flex 3401
    Meguiars 105 with orange CSS pads when needed, but mostly LC white pads.
    Menzerna FP II on LC gray pad.

    For some reason this combo did not work well on the hood. I ended up using SIP on an orange CSS pad and then 106FF on a white LC pad. Worked pretty good.

    LSP: Meguiars #16. This went on easier than I expected. A little friction turns it into a liquid and if not used too heavy it wipes off easily.

    Overall I got about 90% of the defects removed. Most everything left were RIDS which even 105 on orange did not touch. I will live with them.

    Living in a small town I was fortunate to pick up Meguiars 16 for 14.88 per can.

    Just to fill out this post a little, this is a 2006 Miata GT which had 30,000 miles when I bought it in November, 2008.

    The condition of the paint when purchased:

                        I do love black roadsters. I don't have the testosterone to drive a S2000, very nice car.

                        I do love M16. This was my first time using it. I used Collinite 915 before, I like M16 better.

                        I wasn't planning on looking for boogers, thanks for the tip.

                        The Mazda paint wasn't nearly as soft as Honda paint. I don't own anything not Japanese, so I have trouble comparing. Thanks

                        I appreciate the very warm welcome on my first post. I intend to try to stay active on MOL. Thanks again.
