Meguiers

Mr Mole · January 14, 2008

Cleaned the car a the weekend,first i washed with gold class then clay bared it then did the steps 1 to 3 with the deep crystal polish,and i must say my car has never looked so good :D over all i'm very impressed with the Meguiers range much better than anything i've used before.Cheers Adrian

I use the same routine once a year on the car cause it takes so long to do. Meguairs does make it look good though doesn't it :)

I swear my Meguiars and have used quite a few cleaning products on my ols show cars but Meguiars was just so easy to use and brings the lex up a treat! This was after just a wash and quick detail!!!!

And this is what it did to my bike!!!

i'm going to have a look at this Meguiers cleaning stuff. Where is the best place to buy it and which cleaning products do you generally need?

Matt Hillyard · January 15, 2008

I use near enough everything!!! lol.......

If you just want a basic stuff i'd go for their tech wax car shampoo, tech wax, glass cleaner and tyre shine gel.

Ive got all the extra's like the gold class clay, strach-x remover, metal polish.........the list goes on!! Got a nice Meguiars bag to carry it all in too from one of the competions i won! =]

You can get it from all good car shops, Halfords or even from Meguiars website!!! They arent cheap but the results speak for themselves!

I was very impressed by the meg's stuff when i did mine as it seemed to make the colour really stand out being aztec fire and you get a nice deep shine to it, Makes it really stand out so worth every penny and not a lot of effort to get some really good results :D

Very nice matey B) i like the red calipers on yours i wasn't too sure about doing them red on mine so did them black but might try them in red to see how it looks? and nice to see another Aztec fire coloured Lexus on here :D

If you look in my garadge album you will see a better picture of the brake callipers i did not paint the rear hub part of the discs because they were new and shinny B) but they dont look so good now :( so will have to sort that out soon ,and yes we have the best colour of car not sure anyone else would agree

And this is what it did to my bike!!!

Snap! That bike is identical to mine.... apart from the can and the wheel stripes that is. Even got the same double-bubble on it!

WylieCoyote · January 16, 2008

Meguiars products are good, and I was a loyal follower for many years but there are better products out there as long as you're prepared to put the effort in to detailing. I wouldn't go back to Megs now.

Cool cool, yeah thats my other toy!!! lol.....Goes like stink and amazing around a track too!!!!

Mike_B · January 18, 2008

Oh boy, does it go like stink. :D

The GS430 is quick enough by car standards, but it's absolutely nowhere near the bike. Not even in the same ballpark. Or even in the same city. Anyone who hasn't ridden a modern sportsbike, whether 600, 750, or 1000, just won't believe how quick they really are. Not even an inkling, unless they've got a dragster or something!
