Car Detailing Whore
Ive been considering using this product with a PC that I am going to be ordering soon. It looks like a good one step process for normal every day cars, and the price is hard to argue with?

Questions, comments...discuss.
 
Hi Tass,

Meguiar's #66 is a one step cleaner wax that is designed for the reconditioning/ high volume detailing. As such, it one of the best products that I have used for THAT purpose. However, regardless, it is NOT as good as breaking the procedure down into individual steps. To me, it is a short cut and a cost cutting measure. If I believed that one product could do it all, I would use it and not have invested $1000's into supplies.

Just IMHO!!!

Well I wont be using it on my best details. But I could use it on my mid details, save a lot of time, and have good results.
 
Wuuld you rate this product as a good step product overall, though? It just seems to fit my needs economically for certain cars.
 
Thats great! No really I mean it.

How good of a job does it do at removing swirls and minor oxidation?

Also, how well does it react to being topped with perhaps a sealant or wax.
 
I think what 2hotford said, applies here"NOT as good as breaking the procedure down into individual steps" but it can tackle some pretty bad swirls(considering what it is).
I have never tried to top it with anything, but I don't see why that would cause a problem. Especially if it was something like #26.
 
How well does the surface it leaves behind react to a sealant or wax? If it improves with a wax or sealant, which ones are good? How about different product for different paints (dark/light).
 
I would be interested in the answers to the questions regarding #66. Some folks just don't seem to care about their vehicles appearance that much. Seems like #66 would be a good product to use on customers vehicles that you know are going to be neglected and the owner isn't interested in a "show car" shine.
Someone please correct me if Iam wrong.

Thats PRECISELY why I want to use #66. There is absolutely no point in doing a full PB setup on a car that I know next week will be washed, and then dryed with a dirty towel.

Thats why I am wondering about those questions I posted above.
 
Tasadar we are on the same wave lenght regards to #66. I just can't see spending extra time and material trying to "polish a turd".
If the 66 performs well,interested on what topping to go with it. Ex,S100???

I cringe at even using P21S/S100 on a car like that. Especially when the likely hood of them powerwashing the car (blasting off the P21S) is very high.

I assume UPP, EX, Zaino, and so on should bond just fine.
 
As I understand it #66 has carnauba in it and therefore would not be ideal under UPP or Z, EX perhaps. I think I would leave it as is or top with #26 or s100. Having used #66 on cars that were in pretty bad shape, I never topped it with anything and never had a customer who was not suprised at how good the car looked
 
Have you tried any of the Detailer Line 1 step products check Page 3 at Dealergoodies.com in the Meguiars section at the bottom they have alot of cleaners and protectants in 1 steps avalible also might want to look into those.
 
huh?

OK, Dan, ya lost me on that one. Why would you want to take a one step product (with wax in it) and turn it into a two step process by adding topper???

Why not just use something like DACP or AIO etc.... then top with a wax?

Sorry, it just doesn't seem much like a high-production solution / timesaver if you're going to add another product over it.

Just my 2 cents. I'm going to be using #66 too, but I'm stopping there.
