My first Meguiar's clay!

WVS007 · 09-09-2006, 04:30 PM

At first I was very hesitant to "scratch" my car with clay but after reading everybody's good reviews I decided to try this one as well. At first I tried it on my daughter's Alfa 146 as it is also Graphite and even some of the neighbours came over to see this miracle!! As my car is only two months old only some raod dirt came off, but after one coat of Scratch X and two layers of Poorboys professional I could not believe the results. On the wheels I tried NXT All Metal Polish, but did not find this as good...get better results just using the normal PB's professional polish.

ps - as most people said, pictures do not reflect the real look of these...same as the Terra color.

Just would like to add I read on the attached you can use normal soapy water as well....just like in the KarateKid movie...wax on, wax off. Left hand a sponge with little bit of Meguiars NXT Car Wash water (excellent soap by the way) and right hand the clay. http://www.guidetodetailing.com/arti...p?articleId=14

Actually the wheels are painted (color and clear just like the car) and not bare metal (unless you bought aftermarket rims)... Using metal polish on them isn't a good idea.
