KERMIT just recently won its class on Meguiars Virtual/On-line car show. I just received our award, a nice collection of Meguiars productions [called TUNER COLLECTION]. Couple of the items I recieved are from thier GOLD CLASS collection [SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER & GOLD CLASS LIQUID POLISH]. I've never used these products before. Any problems with them? Should I just stick with my #7 Mirror Glaze & #26 wax, then when I get a chance to order BLACKFIRE use it.
 
It's pretty dangerous stuff, don't even bother throwing it away, just private message me and I can send you my apartment addy, you send it to me and I will properly dispose of it. ;)
 
I have been using Mcguires Gold Class shampoo for about a year now, and I love it. You can get a huge bottle of it at Target, and you cannot go wrong. It may not be as "fancy" as Pinnacle, but it really does a great job.



And by the way, congratulations to both you and Kermit. Great looking car!



Best regards.
 
Congratulations :up and don't worry about the Gold Class Car Wash. A lot of Autopians use it because it's the best bang for the buck car wash out there. It goes for $10/gal at Target.



The Gold Class Wax has great shine but very bad durability. Just save the wax for for a neighbor or something. My bottle is just sitting, collecting dust.
 
Congrats on the award thats awesome :xyxthumbs



Do you have any pics of your car? I would love to see it...
 
Gold Class shampoo is an A+! Great stuff.



The wax is really shiny, and I really like the results it gives, but it only lasts a couple weeks. Give it a try! It's shine is a lot different than #26, so who knows, you might like it! Try it for a couple weeks (BTW, a second layer enhances the first!) and if you don't like it, go back to #26.
 
THanks Chuck, and everyone. Your comments are most appreicated and welcome.



I'll give it a shot fro this weekends parade. I'm racing KERMIT at Willow Springs next weekend so I'm pretty sure if the durability is that limited by the end of next weekend it should be pretty much gone.

BTW Will multiple coats of #26 enhance the shine?



What will remove this wax, #26, or #7. I have just used Dawn for the first time and was impressed but I understand we really shouldn't do that more than 3 times a year.
 
I tried #26 on top of Gold Class, but I used a dirty towel (and I didn't realize it) to buff it out, so in the sun, there were some really really really bad swirls in the wax layer. When there wasn't too much sun, it looked great!



BTW, #7 will remove the Gold Class.
 
I also don't mind waxing the car more often. GC wax really delivers a deep wet shine. The shampoo is a great buy at Target! When I first saw the price I couldn't believe my eyes.

:D
 
Yes, less than one year and it decided not to turn on halfway through my wife's car, of all cars! I always use a decent amount of pressure and vary the speeds from usually from 2 to 6. I don't know if this is an epidemic and I figured I'd let everyone know in case they have issues as well. I've read detailers having a PC for years, maybe I just got a fluke. I'll be calling ToolKing.com where I purchased it. If there's nothing they can do then I may pick up a Meg's.
 
Turn it on and try moving the power cord around (with the machine on/low speed) and see if it turns on. Usually problems to DA's are limited to the power cord.
 
Thank you wise ones! I did try everything with the power cord, even popped off the rear housing to check all solders/connections. Thanks again for the help!
