Mark here-

Finally got to use a garage and my Christmas toys...

Process took about 13 hourd with a little help from a friend. This is my first machine correction.

I used:

++Orange LCC pads 5-6 passes with Meg Ultimate Compund. I liked the combo working time was really good with minimal dusting.
++White LCC pads 2-4 passes with Meg Ultimate Polish. Nice polish not excessively great, but was enhancing paint.
++Blue LCC pad for AG wax. Grat wax came off ral nice and left nice shine. Used this over Liq. Souvern and Meg Liq. Wax. RReviews made me try it out...

Black Wow
Meg Clay Bar with Meg Quik Detailer
Eagle One
Mothers Chrome Polish

Wheels:

Dp Cleanse All
Tarminator
Eagle One Aluminum Cleaner
0000 Steel Wool
Meg Hot Tire Gel (gift)

Interior:

Small Vac
Meg Natural Cleaner
Jams were clayed and Spray waxed
Cracks were cleaned with DP Cleanse All

Engine was deatiled 2 weeks ago. Touched up with Degreaser. Under the hood was cleaned and spray waxed.

I may have missed something , but that is all I remember off top of my head. Lots of fun can't wait to do the wife's Black Dodge Caliber!!

50/50

Love Black Wow!

Some Afters Some after polish some after AG

Thumbs Up

After Meg UC

Okay that is enough for now lol. Like I said lots of fun. Would love you pros to offer feedback.

Stubborn findings:

Metal parts in engine bay what to use?
Tarminator was big help, but need more power still any suggestions? I let it sit 1-2 mins.
Fabric for seats need better cleaner

Thanks!

My arms hurt!

haha

Truck looks great buddy, especially for your first time! I know of a great upholstery cleaner but its not sold here. If I'm allowed, I will PM it to you. Anyone know if i can do that?

**Mazda.Mark** · 03-13-2011, 06:36 AM

Yeah I was pretty happy with it. It is my DD so I know it won't be perfect especially since its 8 years old and I am the 3rd owner.

In the 5th picture you show some gnarly scratches. Were you able to eliminate those? Looks very nice.

**Al1515** · 03-13-2011, 11:16 AM

Nice work. Truck looks great!

I'm curious though why you used 3 waxes. (Pinnacle Souv Liq, Meg's Liq, AG HD)

No, Unfortuatley the previous owners did who knows? I don't have experience wet sanding or a rotary which is probably required. I found through the process I eliminated many swirls and minor scratches but rock chips and RIDS stand out more clearly.

I had the choice of those 3 and went with the AG HD. I was going to do all Megs, but I really wanted to try the AG.

Thanks guys!
