Well the plan for my labor day weekened was to take a trip to my parents house an spend all day Saturday cleaning and polishing my car, sounded good to me, but of course something had go wrong, When I got to my parents house I ws quickly recruited by my father to help around the house, which lasted all day. Finally, we finished and I was ready to start my car, As was getting some of my detailing stuff, I noticed how bad my parents two cars looked, and it was bugging the crap out of me, I knew mine was dirty, but not that bad, so I did the good son thing and detailed the heck out of there cars, I didn't finish till about 11:00 at night. Then sunday I thought I was going to do my car, but nooooooo, the neighbors called and wanted their suv done, couldn't turn them down, that was money, anyway, needless to say I finally just got to wash my car, and I'm so tired and worn out.

All three cars I washed, spot buff the fronts with an orange pad and xmt 2 to get of some dried up bug, oh yea, lovebugs are back over here, I used megs, cleaner/wax with a white edge pad @ 4 on pc, this stuff is pretty damn good,, easy on easy off and very good clean shine, covered with pb nattys blue, amorall and megs tires gels, amorall on the inside, I even put I little on the rims, really shines them, IG on glass and pb qd
 
Sounds like a good weekend, to detail 4 cars. Man, you must be tired. Very nice job!
 
Told you cleaner wax is good!
Make sure you get the new formula. Has more abrasives in it now and works better with a PC.

Good looking rides and sorry bout your weekend......but you did make money!

Your post when you did that black rover was my inspiration, is the new stuff in the same bottle as the old.
 
Not knocking Megs, but I would consider Klasse AIO, and Poorboys Polish w/ carnauba to be the best cleaner/wax type products. Justin have you tried them ??? Thoughts ???
 
Well I just taught my dad how to qd his car over the phone, he just called me and said that he had gotten some dust on the car and the lovebugs had splattered on the front and he wanted to clean the car up, so I basically told him how to use some qd and a mf, I thought that was kinda funny, cause usually he really doesn't care about things like that, I guess I just did a really good job.

I think your Dad just gave you a big compliment!

I guess he did, now if I can just teach him how to wash,clay, and polish, I'm might have time to do my own car.

I've used both products, i really liked klasse and still use it on newer cars with no swirls, but I really didn't care much for the pb, don't get me wrong its good stuff, but it didn't clean as well as klasse, I've been using pb for chrome and other metal, not on rims though, I've heard carnuba will atract brake dust.
 
Nice job! Four cars and working around your dad's house, dang! Sound like dad is getting the bug! Now you need to order dad a car kit from AG!

The carnauba will break down rather quickly with the heat wheels generate. Did you find the cleaning ability of Megs superior to PB ??

PB has more cleaning power I think, but the megs seems give better results in the shine area and it seems a whole lot easier to work with, I did an entire suv with PB wC and ran into some problems with evenly removing it, but with a little effort some qd and a mf took care of it, were I was able to remove all the Megs from the entire car with just 1 mf, I still went over it with a fresh one and some qd to be sure. Now to me klasse has both beat in the cleaning area, but as most know its not the easiest to remove.
