What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Washed my wife’s kid hauler with Meg’s Hyperwash (I still can’t figure out the smell but I like it), and then hit it with Tec 582. Reflection shot shows weird sun and clouds, it’s not a haze or smearing from the product, figured I’d mention that.

Looks great, Tec582 really adds depth even on paints that aren't the best. It seems to have made that pearl come alive. Sooo slick too, that's the biggest issue, fingerprints from touching it too much, lol.

Finished this up just before the sun went down. For a 10 year old truck that is actually used for truck things this behemoth is actually holding up quite well.




The owner is one of the few customers that said he was going to bring his other vehicle to get detailed and actually lived up to his word so I polished his headlights. I also had a box of Cerakote Trim Restore I had reserved for a customer that cancelled and decided to restore his trim. For something that you can pick up off the shelf at Wal-Mart it worked surprisingly well.

I mean, pretty much every brand has a mixture of brilliant and not-so-brilliant products. I've tried some truly terrible products from the likes of Carpro and Gyeon, balanced by some brilliant class leaders elsewhere in the range. The sad thing about Meguiar's is that they should be an industry leader and innovator, but are stuck in 1999 selling old products to those not willing to try anything different.

Of the Meguiar's products, I'd say Hybrid Ceramic Detailer, Hyper Wash, Hyper Dressing and the Quick Interior Detailer (the retail version only, the Detailer gallon size has an unpleasant white vinegar odor) are their leaders. All have earnt a place in my cabinets.

I have to say I find the current array of Meguiar's products just overwhelming and that is exacerbated by how many of them have such similar names. Just yesterday I went to the Meguiar's website looking for their own product description of a few things I'd seen discussed here and got lost - once everything is "hyper" and/or "ceramic" they cease to be differentiating features.
