Hi all,

I'm planning on full detailing my car soon and found out that I can get the Meguiar's products as well as some 3M products in the Netherlands(can't get the nice detailing stuff like you have in the US here :( ), I'm not sure about all the pro series products from Meguiar's but I contacted them last week and hope to hear soon what products they can get me.
Now these are my steps I plan to do,
1 wash(Sonax or Meguiar's shampoo) and dry
2 Clay
3 Remove swirls with Meguiar's #9
4 Meguiar's #7 show car glaze
5 Wax, plans are to use Einszett Glanz Wax.
I've heard that when I want to glaze before I wax my car, I shouldn't use Meguiar's wax because it's a cleaner wax and it would strip off the glaze so I was recommended to use the Einszett Glanz Wax(heard good things about Einszett). Now my question is, since I've read you can't layer Einszett Glanz wax due to high solvent content, doesn't Glanz wax remove the glaze?
Thanks for any info
:)

Btw. car is a cosmosblack metallic BMW. Currently using Sonax products, Sonax Extreme wax #1(carnauba paste wax). I like the wax but it doesn't last long.
 
Hi, and welcome. It's good to see someone from the old Europe on DC.

About your questions, if you plan on using Megs #7 don't use the Einzsett GW, use in stead Megs #26, or, use 3M Perfect-IT III Machine Polish, Finishing Glaze and then a Carnauba Wax. You could also use Poorboys EX as a final wax. PM me if you're interested, I have some extra bottles of it.

Here's a pic of a black BM with this combo:
 
Jeroen,

First, welcome to DC. Second, one of our members "jgv" who lives in Portugal uses the Einszett wax. I'm sure he'll be buy to give his opinion. In the meantime, your steps look fine. Also, not all Meguiar's waxes are "cleaner" waxes. Which one in particular were you going to use? Many people back here top the #7 with #26 with great success!

One last thing, if durability is a primary issue with your detailing, you may want to consider a synthetic sealant system, or a carnauba/synthetic system.

Thanks guys.
Wow jgv that Bimmer looks great!!
I guess I better use Megs #26 then:) Is #26 a carnauba/synthetic wax? How about durability and shine of #26, easy on/off? It was about durability that I was thinking about Einszett GW, heard it's easy on/off as well but I currently wax the car every 3 to 4 weeks, sometimes even less so I don't mind waxing the car regularly it's only a problem in the winter when the weather doesn't allow you to wax that often.
Btw. I'm using all the products by hand and want to use Megs Quick Detailer in between washes:)
Let's hope now that they can get me the nice Meguiar's product I'm looking for, cause I'm really looking forward to try some new stuff on my car:)
 
You can use the Einzsett GW, following the #9, or, for better durability than the #26 alone, use the #20 before it.
 
Hmm I'm now considering #26 and might use #20 before. Do you order your products from Meguiar's Europe? I contacted them for pro series and mailed them what I need, I hope I get an answer this week so I can order some products.
It's nice to see more detailing enthusiasts in Europe, most people here use a drive trough carwash instead of doing it by hand they always look a bit weird when you are waxing you car that often.
 
I've ordered once from them, then I found a Megs distributor in Portugal that only carries some of their pro products. My waxes came from the US, almost everyone anyway, cause I bought the Einzsett and Menzerna locally.

If you want, give me your email address and I'll send you the spreadsheet they sent me a couple of months ago, with the products they had in stock and the prices.
