How Sean Used Our Products

The car has been restored over past 5 years and after getting a Meguiars gift set I decided to use more of their products.

I use Meguiars Deep Crystal Step 1-3 each time I wash it and after a few days will also use the Meguiars Quik Detailer just to bring the car back up to a nice finish. I’ve only used the Meguiars Scratch X once as the cars paint is not that old so looks scratch free anyway.

The Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tyre Gel is a great product and just seams to last and stay nice for a few weeks. I’ve been buying kits so some of the items I’ve not used yet.

On the whole the products seem to work well for my car.
