    Re: Open Class - April 26th, 2008 - Pictures & Comments

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks to Mike and Meguiar's for the informative class. My car was the Alfa that everyone got a chance to clay(!). Thanks to all for not embarassing me about the shape of my car!

    I ordered the G110 and some supplies today. The Polisher is on back-order, but I'm informed that it should be in within days.

    Mike, I have a question. You suggested to me that I use the following products -- M80, ColorX, and NXT Tech Wax. But I'm wondering, aren't the M80 and ColorX both "cleaners"? Would one really use two cleaners in a row? Or is this a case similar to using finer and finer grit sandpaper?

    Also, if anyone can recommend a good body shop (or dent removal place, I need both) anywhere between the west side of Los Angeles and Ventura County, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks, again, perhaps I can make it on an upcoming Thursday.

    -- Ron

      Hey Ron, its that asian kid you were talking to at the end of class

      I'm pretty sure you can just use #80 and finish that well enough to go straight to your LSP (which is the NXT). I find that both #80 and #83 finish quite well for what they were designed to do (I don't find any marring/scratches from them). Mike may have to chime in more about ColorX since I never used the product since I always thought it was a hand only type of thing...

      Good luck with the Alfa man. I'm sure its gonna look excellent when you finish. If you're ever around the 949 send me a PM and I'll help you with your restoration project

        Thanks Mike and Meguiar's for a great class!

        I have been detailing my own cars for about twenty years now and I picked up more than a few great tips about technique and products.

        I will definitely try to make it to the advanced class.

        P.S. I didn't even know that Meguiar's had a line of products for motorcycles! That's great!
