Well it was back to the lake today!
This ride is owned by the mother of the Denalli owner. Finally nice to do a car. I was starting to think that they only sell SUVs and trucks to my local natives!

I was really worried about getting a nice look to silver. But I dug in, washed, polished and waxed.

Hope you all enjoy.

Meguiars NXT Car Wash

Meguiars Clay Bar with Final Inspection Meguiars #80
(EDGE 2000 Green Pad with G100(PC) set at #5)

Meguiars #7 Pure Glaze
(EDGE 2000 Blue Pad with G100 set at #4)

Meguiars NXT Polish
(EDGE 2000 White Pad With G100 set at #3)
I allowed the NXT to sit on the car and in the sun for 2 hours while I did the interior. This was a HUGE plus. Came off so easy and really looke alot better to me.

Nice work ... while not a fan of NXT personally, it seems to have done well in this case. Car looks glossy, and the interior looks like no one has used it.

Well, when I started my business 2 months ago, I got a killer deal on Meguiar's products. I've already converted to the Edge pads. I'm really thinking of trying the new XMT line. I like the bare-bones kit. Only prob is that I have all this Meg's stuff. I'd love to try some samples out on a ride. Then post the results up here.

Plan? Possible?

Alot of us are willing to share samples. I started a post here when we first started, believe it was called "Pay if Forward". Consider reviving it. You offer several items in sample size you are willing to share and mail, and in return the person sends some to you or another forum member.

If you dont get a healthy response, PM me offline, and I will give you some of my personal items.

That is simply an awesome idea! I bet others would love to see it again.
Keep me posted.

Thanks man!

Looks very nice. I, personally, find light colored vehicles to be hard. You can really tell with dark or bright colored vehicles when you have the paint lookin great, but it isn't so obvious with light colors. NXT is okay, you'll be happy when you run out and switch, though.
