I'm going to detail my Dad's Old's 88 and decided to try Meguiar’s No. 20. For all who have used this product what type of residues are you left with (I'm thinking something between wax and a Klasse residue) ? Also, any tips on application would be appreciated - I'm thinking I will apply less than say Gold Class but more than Klasse.





Thanks and Happy Holidays !
 
It is a decent product. I apply it, let it sit for a few minutes (5 to 10 depending on weather), and then buff it off. It drys to a white haze, the entire vehicle is covered in it. :) Buffing off is easy, one whip with a towel and then go over it again to pick up little spots that you missed. Don't get it on trim, the plastics will soak it right in.
 
#20 is easy to buff off. Not as easy as Blitz but easy enough. You should not have any more problems than you would with a wax.

Do two coats if you have the time to ensure even coverage. You will like the results. It gives a great shine and lasts a lot longer than a plain wax due to the polymers and resins in it. The car beads very nicely with this stuff.
 
The only tips I can think of are:



Apply thin



Let it dry for a while, in the cold even longer



I use one towel to gently remove the major part of the wax



I then use a brand new towel to remove the smaller amount



It works really well for me
 
<strong class='bbc'>Meguiar’s No. 20[/b] is great stuff. It goes on easy, and buff off easier than the <strong class='bbc'>Meguiar’s No. 26[/b] (the No. 26 in paste form).

One bit of advice I recieved from Meguiar's was to let it set up for about 15 minutes, maybe longer in cold weather. The residue it leaves is the same as any other wax I've used. Just keep turning the towels over to a clean side while you're buffing it off. <strong class='bbc'>waxman[/b] is 100% right - lasts a long time, beads very nicely, and two coats is a great idea.

I've used <strong class='bbc'>Meguiar’s Gold Class Trim Detailer[/b] with great success to remove any residue from plastic trim. One trick is to use the trim Detail on the plastic trim <strong class='bbc'>before[/b] you apply the No. 20 or any other wax, and then go over the trim again right after, before it gets a chance to soak in like <strong class='bbc'>Josiah[/b] said.

Let us know how it works out for you.
 
One thing to be careful of... Make sure you wipe it all off. Don't let any sit there forever. I let a buddy of mine use my #20 on his white car and since it is so much harder to see where you apply it when you do it on white he forgot to take some of it off. It stained it yellow in the areas he missed. It works great just make sure you get it all off. I think his problem was just inexperience and the fact that he couldn't see it once it dried. He knows better now.
