Just got done with the interior on the 74 car. Pulled it all out and completely cleaned it. Car has been buffed with a combination of PS21 cleaner and Mequire's scratch
remover. Really turned out nice. I picked up the Mequire's clay bar system too. What has been your experiences using them? Is it worth the effort? I gather once it's cleaned with the bar, you just apply wax or does other prep work need to be done to get the clay residue off (if any)? Thanks Tod |

Very nice Ferg. What products did you use? Love to trade the teener in for a 74 Carrea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Meguiers Clay, then Cleaner Wax, followed by the Nxt Tech wax (best smelling wax out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). It's a 75, and I loved my 74 2.0, but sold it for this gem. I'm short on cash now, otherwise your white car would most likely be on it's way to me. Surprised it's still on the market. Ferg |

Meguiers Clay, then Cleaner Wax, followed by the Nxt Tech wax (best smelling wax out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Cleaner wax is so terrible why did you do it LOL The clay works fine but you should throw out that cleaner wax it comes with. The Tech Wax is a sealant and should have gone one first. Since you put it on top of a poor quality wax the whole thing will be gone in a matter of weeks. At that point I would apply the tech wax again and leave it to cure overnight in the garage. After that if you want to throw some hot wax on it to give it some real shine put some mothers reflections on top. Then it will really pop. |
