    Got some new Meguiars products for my birthday so I thought I would try them out tonight. Got Meguiars Endurance high gloss tyre gel and Natural shine vinyl protectant to add to my Megs collection. Take note young Crombers as you asked me to do your car for the Arbroath run but as I stated I will be sunning myself in Spain.

    1= Started by washing the car with Meguiars NXT car wash shampoo using a lambs wool bonnet and rinsing.

    2= I never used this tonight but did use it 3 weeks ago a clay bar , I would use it at this stage so if your following this then use it now after washing.

    3= Now if you’ve used the clay bar then follow stage 1 again.

    4= Chamois the car off now.

    5= Using Meguiars Endurance high gloss tyre gel now with a paint brush to the tyre walls and then using kitchen roll to dry the alloy wheels off. Apply a coating of Mer to the wheels and waiting 15 minutes before buffing off the wheel to a high shine. (First time of using this product and the tyre walls look great)

    6= Apply Meguiars Natural vinyl protectant to the black bumper and wheel surrounds (this is the first time I’ve used this and it went on a treat)

    7= Polished the car with Meguires NXT wax giving it 2 coats and polishing off with a micro fibre cloth (see I’m learning Scottiecoop).

    All done now and took some pics to show you all , just after the pics were taken it started to rain making me very angry and decided to swear at the heavens.
