Keith's car was prepped for the 13th Annual Endless Summer Cruisin' car show in Ocean City, Maryland.

Show Prep:
-Foam bath and hand wash
-Clay bar entire vehicle
-Spot treatment for scratches
-Cleaner wax
-Finish wax
-Wheel detail - four coats of wax to protect and seal for the drive to Maryland (and much longer thereafter)
-Engine bay extreme detail
-All jambs cleaned and spray waxed

 

berrr niceeee. Question for you, now that winters coming i was going to get a detailer to do an all out detail on my car (remove swirls etc etc) but im very low on cash lately and will wait till spring. So what i did was just did a quick detail for mine claybar , wash then i put 2 coats of meguiars nxt on her. Do you think thatll be enough to protect her through the winter ??

 

Thanks! I would say you'd get a solid two to three months from the NXT. It has a pretty nice shine but as far as protection, it doesn't last too long unfortunately. My typical process is to use Meguiar's Carnauba Cleaner paste, followed by Meguiar's Gold Glass Carnauba Plus paste, and I've seen protection for up to about five months with the proper care. Your best bet for "winterizaton" would be to clay the car and apply a sealant instead of wax, which can last up to a year.

I'm actually running a special now for winter prep which includes: wash, clay bar body and wheels, Menzerna Power Lock sealant, carnauba wax, wheel wax, tire dressing, and spray wax applied to door jambs. Add interior quick detail and/or engine bay detail for $40 each. Also, if customers book their Exterior Winter Prep along with a spring clean up they receive $30 off each.

 

Cool i do have some zaino that i had previuosly put on before i re did it with the nxt. Maybe ill give that a shot again before winter comes around thanks!!

 

Sorry one more thing, Im planning to put a few coats of Zaino next week. Do i have to start over with the dishwashing soap to remove the nxt or could i jjust wash with normal soap then apply the zaino. Id hoenstly just like to be able to apply the zaino. its also getting very cold hereee

 

If you're using dish soap, get the plain blue Dawn. Not sure what people's obsession with Zaino is, but if you like the results and working with the product then go for it.

 

Sorry man what i meant to ask was can i just apply the zaino over the NXT or do i have to remove the nxt with dawn soap first ?? Sorry loll

 

I believe you'll have to remove the wax first.

 

It's definately clean for a black w203. Mine's white, but it's clean too.
