In all honesty, I could get rid of all my non Meguiar's products, and be just fine. Recently I've experienced the disappointment of other products I've been experimenting with. Total let downs! I look over to my shelves of trusted Meguiar's products, grab the bottle, and get to work. I absolutely love them!
I got into Meguiar's by a fellow drummer I saw back in 1996. His cymbals were GLEAMING! When I asked him how he got them so shiny, he directed me to their Deep Crystal system. That was it folks. Once I started using it on cars and drums, I expanded into the Gold Class (my old tin from 1996 recently "blew up"), Medallion (still have two bottles of paint cleaner, but my bottle of the protectant is basically water), and the Mirror Glaze line (M09, M07, M26). In that time, the paste 18 years Meguiar's (like many of my drum equipment manufacturers) have earned my trust, and that is a difficult thing for a company to do. Their products have always performed beyond their claims, they have been consistent, and while their core products perform so well, they continue to innovate. This adds to the enjoyment of detailing (cars and drums), and shows that they are interested in what they do as manufacturers.
Some of the products I love:
A12 Cleaner Wax - Cars just look fantastic after using it. Anyone can get results from A12.
The Ultimate Trio - This system provides the enthusiast/part timer like myself with a professional style product line up to get cars looking great. Last summer was the first time I put it to use. Each product individually is a star performer.
M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax - I bought a tin of this after I picked up my first brand new "from the dealer" car. It was a 1999 black Chevy Cavalier. I went to the painter's supply store, and asked what the best type of wax to use was, and Rich told me to buy the M26, because it was a new car. Now, I may have had a tin back in 96 as well, but I remember having bad luck taking care of the tins. In particular, the tin I purchased for the Cavalier was left in the back seat on some newspapers. I didn't see it when I was cleaning up, and the tin blew open with half melted paste wax... I felt so stupid... Anyways, today I have four tins on my shelf. One of them is the plastic screw top container they offered years ago. M26 could replace my boutique carnauba waxes, without a problem. I recently used a ColorX/M26 combo on my mom's Saturn Ion. My girl friend's truck, and my neighbor's 04 Mustang are receiving the Ultimate Wax/M26 finishing combination. I absolutely love M26 as a finisher!
Sorry for droning on, but you get the idea. I, like many of you have come to trust and enjoy Meguiar's.
I just did a test spot and it knocked every swirl and scratch out of the paint. Call me a happy camper! Im the MAN
