Astra Coupe 2.2

[Alex7938]

Heres a couple of pics of my girlfriends Vauxhall(GM) Astra Coupe 2.2 after i'd spent the day detailing it.
I used: NXT wash,
Clay,
DC#1
2 coats of NXT wax





and heres one from the day after with a coat of #16, the only problem with this was there was no shade from the sun, so taking pictures was terrible.

Hi Alex,

Seeing this is your first post... Welcome to Meguiar's Online!

Your results look great! How did you like the M16 Professional Paste Wax?

Hi Mike and Thanks,

I'd heard from other members on your UK forum that its a pain to remove by hand, i didnt find it too bad at all.
im due to borrow another members PC so i'll be able to compare then.

As for the finish i think it was Fantastic, in the 5 months since i got into detailing the car and trying different LSP's, i had my first person come up to me and say WOW!.

The trick to using M16 is to apply a very thin coat. If you do this and use a wiping cloth with a nap and a little good technique, then M16 isn't too bad at all. It's when people glob on a thick coat they end up regretting it.

That's what it's all about! Great to hear!

just trying to justify getting M21 next, as i saw a silver Corrolla on the review and was amazed at the wet look from a non-carnauba
