This is testimony not only to the quality of Meguiar's, but also to Jaguar. The X308s had an 10-step priming/painting process (source: 1998 Jaguar brochure) that was most surely best-in-class...very generous with clearcoat (unlike most of today's models) which makes the finish quite "forgiving". I bought a 1-owner 2002 Vanden Plas with 45k miles, and spent 40 hours in my own multi-stage clay-bar/cleaner/polish/wax/sealer process (including Meguiar's products) with stunning results. I have classic show cars too, but the X308s have the best factory paint I have ever seen.

In love with this car!! killing it as always Dale.

Question for you guys, I've seen the Meguiar's M699 Deep Crystal Top Coat on the shelves of the bay. Is that a Si02 maintenance spray/booster? If so, can it be used over any ceramic coating or does it just work with the M688 coating? Also, what's the durability like (6-8 months like most SiO2 sprays)?

I just found your channel I love it but I just got like a million questions like if u only need 2-3 compounds why do they sell like 20 of them and can you wet sand maybe 3000 instead of the red pad and the da polisher vs the normal big buffer

Can you spray the hybrid ceramic wax at the end?

Hi. Great videos, thanks. I have just bought a Mequiars MT320 and I will be having a go at polishing my car over the next few weeks. I have a question about the older wax that is on there.

If you wanted to add a ceramic coating to the paint is that right after the wax or before?

@AP-bb6fz

5 жыл бұрын

Ceramic coating is added after polishing. There is really no need for wax if your car is coated. The coating will lose it´s hydrophobic qualities if you slap a layer of wax op top of it. If you plan to wax your car, might as well save the money and not put a coating on it. And if you put a coating on top of wax it will not even stick to your car. A car needs to be fully degreased before adding a wax or coating for it to stick as it should.

I am aware what wax does. From your website" A common misconception among some customers is that when the beading stops there is no longer any wax protection on the paint. This is not the case. Some waxes like our NXT Tech Wax 2.0 contain water-beading properties, but they do not last as long as the wax protection. So the beading may stop after a few weeks, but the wax protection lasts for many weeks after this." So the Wax can have a limited beading time, do your other products top up that beading time?

Bonnet definitely not original paint but looks like the roof is for sure.

My rule I stand by while waxing: after claying/compound & polishing is complete to my liking. I wax the panels with adequate amount of wax- NOT excessive. I can always go back and do another light coat to my liking. Wax the larger horizontal panels first, hood,roof & trunk. Then finish the other panels- leaving the bumpers and below the belt line in the panels last( from your knee height down on the doors I call belt line) these usually are areas of concerns. Before waxing below the belt line; above this area should be dried along with the larger panels done first off- remove wax Wax bumpers and below the belt. Take the vehicle in the sun and completely remove the wax from panels and trim. Open door jams- I typically spray them with a vinyl cleaner/conditioner prior to add to ease of removal of dried wax.

Way too much work involved in this process. I grew up detailing. My dad owned the first auto detail shop in Pasadena Ca...1966-2003. We did it all...Polish and Wax, Interior, Steam and Painted engines, overspray removal, color sanding etc...we did it all. HIGH lUSTER PRODUCTS are far better than Meguire's. Meguires is okay if you don't have access to professional-grade products. That buffer (if that's what you want to call it) looks like a 1500 rpm. To do the job correctly you need at least 2700 rpm. If you know what you are doing you don't need to tape the edges. Proper technique will leave no swirls, diapers... no cobwebs. Everything these guys use can be purchased over the counter. Non-pro products. Professionals use professional-grade products, equipment, and materials. I have a 2000 Jaguar XJR. The paint is 20 years old. I've probably polished it 4 times since new. It looks like it's just been sprayed. Never washed with soap. All I do is a wipe down with a wet cloth and then dry it with a dry one, occasional full rinse, and pro-grade liquid wax. I get it, most of you have no idea what a real Auto Detailer does because there are so few. It really is a skill. These guys are trying hard, but trust me they have no idea.
