Which order to use Meguiars stuff in?

[anaxagoras]

I have a bunch of meguiars products and a rio red mustang that i want to detail.



I've read a lot, and have a pretty good idea of what i'm doing, but i have a question on what order to use certain products in.



I have the:

#7 show car polish

#26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax

NXT Tech Wax



and the #9 swirl remover 2.0 (i don't have a Porter Cable so i'm not going to even bother with it until i get one)





I'm just trying to figure out what would be the best order to use that stuff in. I was thinking 7, 26, then NXT.??

The correct order for those products would be 9, 7, NXT, 26. Have you used any of these before?

I've used them once well over a year ago on my old car. After i had used the stuff i got into an accident and ****ed up the paint and never bothed to repair it, and never bothered waxing the car after that either.



Now that I got my Cobra last month i want to try and take care of it.

#9 and #7 have the same carrier oils so using both is probably redundant

Isn't #7 a glaze, and isn't NXT is a cleaner? So I would think the NXT would would remove the show car.

I would agree that if you are using #9 you can probably skip the 7...I was trying to stay on-question.

 

[anaxagoras]

well i have the #9 but odn't want to apply it by hand, so throw it out of the question. I applied it by hand with my old car and hated it. Would the nxt remove the glaze?

NXT has some "specialized cleaners", so it will probably remove some of the #7 glaze. 7 is a PIA, but you need to do something to get the surface prepped or the NXT won't last. For over-the-counter, and staying in the Meg's line, you might try Deep Crystal #1 cleaner, I think that will be a little easier to work by hand than the 7 or 9, and should get the surface ready for the NXT.
