I just finished my wifes car and thought I would share my thoughts on the products I used and how well they worked.
1) Washed car with Meguires Gold car wash: Worked nice and had a nice lather. I would use this again.
2) Clayed the car with Clay Magic: Left the paint feeling like silk and was very easy to use. I would use this again.
3) UDM worked out very well with the exception of the on/off switch. I actually hit the button by accident and sprayed polish all over the interior which fortunately was leather so it cleaned right up. Other than that the machine worked very well and never bogged down.
4) The first polish used was Menzerna IP: This stuff dusted like crazy, I mean it was everywhere but the finish that it left was very impressive. I would definately use this again.
5) The second polish I used was Menzerna FP: This stuff didn't dust at all and left a finish that was beautiful. I would definately use this again.
6) Rewashed the car with Meguires Gold car wash: At this point the finish on the car was really looking nice.
7) Applied (2) coats of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant Approx. 18 hours apart: After the first coat cured the finish looked dripping wet and the car felt so smooth I couldn't believe it, after the second coat it didn't look much different. This stuff is amazing and I will be using this again.
8) Applied (1) coat of XMT 180: It went on like butter but came off like Peanut Butter. I let it dry for about an hour and it was kind of a pain to buff it off. I'm not sure if the humidity down here has anything to do with it but it was alot of work to remove. I really don't think the 180 made much of a difference after the Wolfgang. I'll probably use it again because I have quite a bit left but I'll be trying other waxes.
After everything was said and done the car turned out beautiful, it didn't look this good when it was new. I'll try and post some pics of it later but it's been raining down here for awhile and it's cloudy so the pictures I've taken so far don't do the car justice.
