Sold on Meguiar's!

Can't believe the difference Meguiar's products made on this 20 year old paint. This is the first car I've ever really followed the proper process for restoration on (wash, clay, polish, wax). In the past I've always been a wash and wax guy leaving out the other steps. This paint is extremely finicky in that any water other than that treated with ONR (Haven't tried MNR yet) causes immediate streaks and spots that don't go away without polishing! PITA! While the car has been mechanically maintained very well, I've never really babied the paint. Not sure what lit the fire under my rear end but I'm glad it was lit!

The hood and trunk lid still look pretty rough any closer than 5' away so in the next few weeks I'm going to buff it down with Ultimate Compound then hit it with the polish and wax again.

One question I have is how many coats of Nxt 2 should I layer on? Has two on it already. Will more really protect it any better than it is now?

Can't believe I paid $10 a bottle for this stuff and got these results. Thanks Meguiar's!

2 is good.

Could consider a spray wax after future washes.

2 layers is good. Adding more will not really help protection. Like murr said, using a spray wax every week or so will be a good idea.

Already have a bottle of ultimate spray wax so I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Where did you find tHAT BEAUTY?

Couple bought just before retirement and pulled it behind rv for several years. They got a little too old to climb in and out of it and decided to ditch it. Besides a few dings and dents the only real issue with it was they stored boxes in the back seat while towing and some of the scuff lines won't come out. They had the front seats recovered and while they look very good they don't have the same texture/pattern as the original.

Not quite as lucky as the guy who discovers a classic that's been sitting in some old ladies garage for 20 years with only a weekly run to the grocery store on it but lucky none the less. ;-)
