First time with Meguiar`s #7

**f1guy68** · 06-06-2004, 04:28 PM

The process:

"Wash" with Mother`s California Gold Showtime Instant Detailer (Car was clean, just a little dusty)

Apply by hand Meguiar`s NXT
Apply by hand Meguiar`s #7
Apply by hand P21S

And the results are impressive:

What do you think?

Looking good. Did you grow tired of your secret recipe?

Thanks Eric,

Due to overwhelming words of caution on my secret recipe, I have stopped using it until I get the word from the chemist at Meguiar`s!

None the less, I have never used #7 before, so I wanted to give it a try! I think I like it just as much if not more than my brew! It appears to have more a wet look!

F1 ~ Looking very good. I think you are closing in on your expectations. Curious...Did you apply by hand? How long did you wait between applications? I believe #7 was developed not to get hot...It usually gets gummy if used with a PC..... How was it to take off? 3M IHG is a bit tricky to get used to but once you do it`s fine, and paitence with the "skinning due to the oils.... did the #7 skin?

Curious Polymer under the Glaze and Carbuna. Was your thinking to lay the NXT down first due to it`s cleaning capabilities? I like that "out of the box" thinking. That`s the beauty of Detailing...there are so many combinations and we are only limited by our own creativity.

Nice...I think it`s better using products as intended at least on your "ride". Have you considered purchasing a hood or fender from the salvage yard and work like Grandpa Munster in the basement?

Crobar,

Thanks for the comments!

I think you are closing in on your expectations

Yes...but I still need something more to say I have reached the max with my ride! Always the one raising the bar, it`s a little difficult when you are your own worst critic...lol

Did you apply by hand

Oh Yeah...I never apply anything by machine until I know what it can do and understand it well with my hands! Unless its machine only product, my hands get `wet" with it first!

How was it to take off? 3M IHG is a bit tricky to get used to but once you do its fine, and patience with the "skinning due to the oils.... did the #7 skin?

#7 did not skin for me! It did smear and streak like all hell, but I found that removing the bulk with a terry towel and then follow up and buff with a M/F was a great method! Once I had that figured out, it was pretty nice to work with! It`s amazing that on the side done and the un done side, you can see how much deeper and wetter the done side is! A real treat for the eyes!

Was your thinking to lay the NXT down first due to its cleaning capabilities?

Well...yeah sort of...I new it would clean a little more than my quick shot of QD, but I love the way NXT adds depth and darkens the color of black! That was the real reason...drama...lol

Have you considered purchasing a hood or fender from the salvage yard and work like Grandpa Munster in the basement?

In the darkness of the midnight hour, I sneak about my `hood and do a little `body snatching" (Car Bodies that is....lol) You can hear them faintly whispering in a muted voice...clean me...clean me...clean me .....

How about breaking the seal on that jar of Souveran? I bet that will add some "drama" to your life! Your not think of using "the little blue pill" in your mixtures are you?

**rabbi** · 06-06-2004, 06:43 PM

Very nice. Really sharp. You did a great job on it.

**f1guy68** · 06-06-2004, 06:51 PM

Crobar,

Your not think of using "the little blue pill" in your mixtures are you?

Nah Dude...I`m still a sucker for the Red Pill....lol

Yep.....Got to break out the Souveran! You`re right...my problem is I have so many combo`s on the go! All have their plus and minuses! I want to wait until I want to do a Klasse AIO & SG & Soveran next round...lol

All these products! Arghhhhhh... I should sell them on e-bay and just pick three things that I like and use only them! Sheeesh..you just reminded me of what a stoopid man I am for buying all this stuff and not having used it all as yet...hahahahahaha

rabbi,

Thanks for the prop`s! I`m pretty happy, and as mentioned before, I`m slowly closing in on what I will finally deem "the best" that my car will ever be!
