How Nick Used Our Products

My car is my pride and joy and I take grate pride in cleaning it. Its a 2001 Vauxhall Vectra b 2.6 v6 sri.

I start by hosing it down with a hose pipe to loosen any loose dirt and grime then I use the two bucket method, one with NXT gen shampoo and one with clean water to rinse the sponge between application of the shampoo.

Now I dry it with a Meguiar’s water magnet. Once dry I use the Meguiar’s smooth surface clay bar kit to get all the tar spots removed and to get a near glass finish, then I use Meguiar’s ultimate compound to brighten up the paint work and restore the color and get rid of any swirl marks. now to start the first step of the Meguiar’s 3 step deep crystal system which is the paint cleaner, I use this to make sure all the compound is removed, then step 2, the polish to buff up and get a really deep shine, and now step 3, the carnauba wax to seal in the shine, now to clean the wheels using Meguiar’s hot rims followed by sponging down with NXT gen shampoo.

Not forgetting the tyre dressing my choice being Meguiar’s endurance high gloss tyre shine. to clean the windows I use Meguiar’s NXT gen glass cleaner inside and out as it smells really nice so freshens the inside as well as cleaning the windows, then I move on to the engine bay. I start off by sponging down with a sponge and NTX gen shampoo to get any loose dirt and grime off, then I dress with Meguiar’s engine dressing.

Then the only thing to do is put the kettle on and admire the shine.
