One of my earliest detailing experiences happened roughly 14 years ago. I wanted to revive the paint on my MR2, so I bought the Meguiars 3-step system from Canadian Tire. Many of the greatest paint correction experts out there prefer to use Meguiars compounds and polishes like M105, M100, M101, and M205. Are their products the best on the market? Not even close. But they get the job done, come in colorful bottles, and smell good. People enjoy using them and they’re proud of the results when they’re done. At the hobbyist level, detailing products are more about the experience and less about efficiency or effectiveness – and that’s ok. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below. It works so well that many professional detailers will recommend their customers use it to maintain their paint’s finish after paying for a paint correction and even a ceramic coating. They recommend it because it’s readily available, gentle on waxes and sealants, and since it doesn’t leave any waxes or protective polymers behind, it’s also ceramic coating friendly.

For those that enjoy using iron and fallout removers that change color, Meguiars has come out with a new one. D1801 Wheel and Paint Iron Decon is the latest member of the Detailer family. It’s ph-neutral and is safe to use on both your wheels and paint. Not many other companies are marketing these products to be used on both (although many can be), so I think this one is pretty cool. So are Meguiars products really any good? Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze is a true high-yield polish with no protective qualities. Be certain to follow application with a coat of top-quality wax such as Meguiar's Premium Paint Protection or Meguiar's Hi-Tech Paste Wax #26. The rich emollients and nourishing oils in #7 Show Car Glaze produce a very deep, heavy mirror-gloss shine. #7 is safe to use on all paints and clear coats. Meguiars has been accused of not being innovative in terms of new product development in the past. The reality is that they have a loyal fanbase of body shops and professional detailers. They don’t need to be coming out with new products constantly in an effort to stay relevant. Meguiars might not have invented the microfiber cutting pad but they certainly changed the detailing industry with it. To this day, the Meguiars microfiber cutting pad is arguably the most popular one out there. In fact, there’s so much love for it that other companies sell punch sets to be able to create your own smaller sizes that Meguiar’s doesn’t offer.

About Meguiars

People complained about them relying too much on past successes and Meguiars listened. They’ve launched some really interesting new products for 2019. Possibly the most exciting is a new compound ( M110) and polish ( M210). Meguiar’s also makes the famous DA Microfiber Paint Correction System and a plethora of detailing tools. If you’re a shop owner, Meguiar’s Professional Detailer series is where you’ll find professional cleaners and polishes available in bulk. Do you prefer off-road adventure? Choose Meguiar’s Boat Maintenance for marine vessels, fiberglass RVs and dirt bikes. The concept was to be able to achieve nearly the same amount of cut that previously could only be found with a rotary polisher but with a safer dual action machine. I’m a big fan of D300 compound. I tend to use it on cars that only suffer from swirl marks and moderate scratches because it’s so user friendly, keeps heat down, and creates very little dust. Out of curiosity, I’ve put it to the test and removed heavy sanding marks from a poorly finished aftermarket paint job, even with a short throw polisher! That’s no joke for such an easy to use product. Interesting new products I want to thank AutoGeek for great products at low prices. I recently got my shipment of Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner, Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze, and Meguiar's #26 Hi-Tech Paste Wax . I washed and dried, then put down a coat of the #7 glaze and a coat of #26 wax. I have used a lot of products and have never got an awesome shine like this!!!! I really appreciate your recommendation of these products. My '02 Escape looks like Glass! Thanks a million AutoGeek!!! I'll be buying from you again in the very near future...and so will my friends and family.

My belief is that the product you choose is nowhere near as important as your knowledge and technique. Experienced detailers can get the same result regardless of what bottle you put in their hand. Different Meguiars product lines Consumer Line (Ultimate, Hot, Gold Class, NXT etc.) They spent years developing and testing these to offer lots of cut, a great user experience, and the ability to finish down better on soft paint. Being a fan of their existing polishes, I’m really looking forward to trying this duo out.I want to make it clear that Meguiars isn’t paying me to write this. I just wanted to help set the record straight about this company and to explain why I continue to use a lot of their products. Meguiars vs. Chemical Guys and Adams Polishes With what seems like a new detailing product line popping up on the market every week, it’s getting really hard for DIY detailers to choose which products to buy. Many of us have been led to believe that any company that sells their products in auto parts stores must be cheap and low quality. That’s not always the case. There are a few Meguiars products that have been really popular among DIY detailers and professionals for a long time. That’s because they’ve been proven to work well by many people. Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Whether you're ready to show or just show off, Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze is equipped to deliver the ultimate high-sheen finish. When you're that serious; get the glaze the pros use--#7 Show Car Glaze!

Another new product that’s been getting a ton of buzz (and some controversy) is Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax. It uses an SI-02 formula (similar to what you’d find in a ceramic coating) and is intended to be sprayed on and rinsed off with water. With so many spray-on ceramic coatings and SI-02 detail sprays hitting the market lately, it’s no secret that Meguiars used the word “ceramic” to jump onto that train. Well known detailers like Larry Kosilla, Kevin Brown, Jason Kilmer, and Andy Ward have all been fans of Meguiars. Jason Rose (now with Rupes USA) used to work for Meguiars and played a big role in developing some of these compounds and polishes. Even Jim White can be seen reaching for a bottle of M100 in some of his videos when the European compounds just don’t have enough cut. Consider what you get when buying a bottle of ready-to-use all-purpose cleaner. A moderate strength mix of Meguiars APC is 10:1. That’s one part product – the rest of the bottle is all water. Buying a gallon of just the product and adding your own water means you get way more for your money. A gallon will last a hobbyist detailer a very, very long time. There’s a lot more to Meguiars as a company than you might realize. The truth is, they’ve created a few lines of products that many professionals continue to use on a regular basis.

Many people turn to companies like Chemical Guys and Adam’s Polishes when they want to take care of their car as a hobby. These two companies have done a great job of marketing, branding, and getting their products in front of the average car guy. Meguiars doesn’t do this. Rather than taking the same polish everyone else uses, changing the color to pink and calling it their own, they create, test, and manufacture their products themselves. Meguiars spends years testing and developing their stuff, so when they decide it’s ready to hit the market, they know it works without needing to update it every year. Meguiars liquids are all formulated and developed at their Irvine, California headquarters and manufactured at their plant in Memphis, Tennessee. Some of the equipment they sell like polishers for example, might be made in China to save on costs. Their general rule is “if it comes in a bottle, it’s made in the USA”. Why does Meguiars still sell the same old products? Meguiars compounds are designed to cut well initially, then die off when they’re done. The trouble most people run into is usually caused by working them for too long. These are meant to be short cycled – get in and get out. Yes, expensive compounds that use diminishing abrasives might be easier to use for beginners. They might even have darkening agents, nice smells, and pretty bottles. But for knowledgable detailers that are only concerned with removing defects from the paint, Meguiars is often the most efficient way to go. Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner and Super Degreaser
