About 99.44% Meguiars. The only things that are not Meguiarsw are the micro-fiber towelsand the pollishing cloths. Once in a while, I can't get Megs soap and have to us another. I usually go to therpy ubntill I can get it.
I've always had old, used cars in the past, which never mattered much to me... in terms of appearance. Most of my budget, and labor, was spent keeping them running.
This past spring I purchased my first brand new car, and so now, no more wrenching. I can focus on keeping it looking good.
Meguiar's products really seem to be of higher quality. I have brand loyalty, when I find something that works good, for a good price, with a good warranty and customer service, I stick to it... such as Craftsman hand tools. Megs may not be the cheapest, but you generally get what you pay for, and it's not the most expensive either.
Added value with Meguiar's is these forums and the helpful guides. I used to work in a (new car dealership's) detail shop, and I've done many cars "on the side" over the years... but I've used this site to "brush up" my memory, learn some new tricks, and get a whole lot more familiar with the product line.
I am switching to mostly Meguiar's product slowly but surely. Right now a lot of my towels are not Megs, along with upholstery cleaner, glass cleaner, tire foam / shine products, metal polish and cleaner, and various odds and ends. All my polishes, waxes, quik detailers, and wheel cleaner are Megs.
well........85, 83, 80, 21, 7, nxt paste, nxt spray, spray wax, scratch x, plasti-x, all meg brushes (6), QD, clay, water based dressing, endurance tire, safe degreaser, multiple pads, bonnents, I would say I am pretty much a Meg detailer. Love the products and the local service from Rick at AZ detailing... and my Porter Cable RO...
I voted in the 75% range. But I predict that the percentage will rise over time. Only reason why it isn't 100% now is because I'm still a little green to all this stuff.
I'm probably around 75% Meguiar's. I don't think I've used a better soap
than NXT car wash, suds last forever and excellent lubricity. # 21 gives
me the results I desire every time. Other Megs standards are Scratch X
and Color X, they are both awesome and at a fair price. I like NXT protectant
but other products are equal to it that I have used, so sometimes its what
ever is on sale. The same with glass cleaner, I look for a good auto glass
cleaner at a fair price. I like Quick Interior Detailer a lot, it cleans and leaves
just enough shine, and doesn't attract dust. If an interior is very dirty I
use Spray Nine. It is great on almost any surface and can be diluted as
needed. For dirty whitewalls or white lettered tires I use Westly's bleach
white. Mostly because I can get it locally for cheap and in bulk. I like
Megs clay and also Quick Detailer. I have used some samples of Eagle 1
spray Nanowax that I like very much. It goes on and off like quick detailer
and leaves a better shine and a bit more protection. It works well as
a topper over #21. I like it better than NXT spray booster wax which
can be finicky at times. A product that I would like to try is the Edge
pad system. I hope Meguiar's comes out with something like this before
I am ready to purchase. Meg's brushes, pads, towels and applicators
are second to none. I hope this was helpful.
Everything that I have for cleaning is meguiars. I have the trunk organizer in my trunk that keeps all my stuff in for any detailing I need to do. Quick Detailer, Glass cleaner, Tire shine, 3 microfiber detail pads, 2 microfiber towels and other usefull items.
About 80% of my cleaning and detailing products are Meguiars. As I point out to people at shows, that great shine on my cars, is care of Meguiars products, and the way they work, shows how they've stayed in business since 1901.
