Eh, what can I say? The "Tree on Hood" thread inspired me.

I just received my Meguiar's G110v2 yesterday, so I decided to perform some light swirl correction to my new (to me) black '03 Mustang GT today. My overall experience was good, but there were a few hiccups along the way. I was battling against an intermittent rain storm, so I didn't compound some areas that could have used it. Instead, I just polished the whole car. This was my first time using a G110v2. As I said before, my overall experience was good, but it makes a random grinding/rattling sound that has me a little scared. I've read that these machines were noisy, but had I not read that, I would have thought it had a bad bearing or something at times. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing.

My process was as follows:

-Thoroughly rinsed
-Cleaned wheels with Megs All Wheel Cleaner
-Washed with Megs Ultimate Wash & Wax (two bucket method)
-Dried with Megs Waffle Towel
...then it rained for about 20 minutes
-Rinsed rain water
-Dried with Megs Waffle Towel
-Clayed with Megs Clay Kit
-Washed with Megs Ultimate Wash & Wax (two bucket method)
-Dried with Megs Waffle Towel
-Polished with G110v2, a 6.5" Megs Soft Buff Polishing Pad and Megs Ultimate Polishing Compound
-Buffed remaining residue with the aid of Megs Quick Detailer
-Waxed with G110v2, a 6.5" Megs Soft Buff Finishing Pad and Megs Ultimate Liquid Wax
-Buffed until arms fell off (I'm typing this with my nose) with a variety of Megs microfibers
-Applied a small amount of Megs Endurance tire shine
-Admired

Then it rained again, so I got some cool shots of the water beading action.

So, here are the befores and afters. There are a few more afters than befores as I was trying to beat the storm.

Persistence and dedication to the craft.

These photo's look similiar to KC's Alien Eggs.
 
Looks great! You know, I've been liking ultimate wax more and more lately. I think my bottle has been jealous of the other, "fancier" products I've bought recently and so it's decided to put on its best show! j/k, but I've been seeing great results here, like you just got...and I've been very happy with the results I've got from some casual waxing sessions this winter. Enough so, that I seem to keep coming back to that good, old ultimate wax, rather than break open the new stuff.

I've used Meguiar's products almost exclusively for about 8 years now. When I ordered my G110v2 earlier this week, I almost went with Griot's or Poorboy's World, but decided to stick with Megs because of value and availability. If I had a new 2012 Mustang with flawless paint, I'd probably step up to Fuzion or Souveran, but for my 2003 Mustang that has been neglected by its previous owners, Megs will do the job just fine. This was my first experience with the Ultimate line, other than the wash, and it has exceeded my expectations so far.
