Call it closed minded if you wish, but I think it’s cool that Meguiars refuses to leave these people hanging. As long as they keep buying (and they do), Meguiars will keep selling it. That’s why you see so many older products that you might have never heard of still being sold. 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. If you use these products as intended, you should at least get a decent result though. For example, don’t expect their Hot Rims wheel cleaner to be a touch-free solution for neglected wheels – you’ll have to agitate it with a brush and might need to repeat the process a few times. In the end, it’ll work. 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.

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. 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.) 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 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. There are a lot of old timers that have used the Meguiars Mirror Glaze line throughout their whole career. They’ve learned how to use their favorite products in a way that works best for them. These aren’t the folks that are interested in chasing the latest and greatest things in the industry. They’ve got a job to do and they know the product they’ve been comfortable using for the last 20 years will get it done.

One of those products is their Gold Class Car Wash. You might be surprised by this because it’s easily found on the shelves of auto parts stores and big box stores. The reality is that it simply works. Autogeek.net is proud to carry on the tradition of Meguiar’s specialized car care supplies. Their product lineup can be broken into distinct categories aimed at different groups. The main lineup of Meguiar’s Car Care Products features their traditional exterior detailing supplies, including the well-known Mirror Glaze, Gold Class and Hot Shine series. Choose Meguiar’s Ultimate polish and wax for world-class shine or NXT Generation if you want long-lasting results fast. Are any of these products the same as traditional ceramic coatings? No. Think of them more as a spray wax that you can use to boost the protection on your coated vehicle. An SI-02 spray like Hybrid Ceramic Wax should also work well on uncoated vehicles too.

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? 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. Douglas M. contributed this photo of his 2007 Shelby GT 4.6L, detailed with Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay, Meguiars Swirl Remover applied with a Cyclo, Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze and topped with Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Paste Carnauba Wax. 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.It doesn’t stop there though. Meguiars developed an entire microfiber paint correction system to help car owners correct their own paint. This included the microfiber cutting and finishing pads, D300 cutting compound, D301 finishing polish, and even their own dual action polisher. This is still one of the best spray waxes on the market. Although it’s not intended to be diluted like other products in the Detailer lineup, it does come in a one gallon jug. D156 X-Press Spray Wax is still a bargain because you can buy that gallon for only a few dollars more than a 16 oz bottle of another product. This is another versatile product that Meguiars offers (notice a theme yet?) and can be used to boost the wax on your paint, as a drying aid, on wheels, and even as a protectant for interior plastic and vinyl. Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not really into most of the consumer grade products Meguiars (or others) sell on the shelves of the local parts store. These are essentially their entry-level line of products – they’re intended for people that don’t eat, sleep, and breath detailing the way us weirdos do.

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. 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. Renowned for its superb glimmering finish, #7 Show Car Glaze is legendary among those who swear by the hand-rubbed philosophy. But it achieves splendid results when applied by orbital buffer or dual action polisher, also. This is a true showman's glaze originally developed for the avid collector, serious enthusiast and show-car exhibitor. The depth of shine is nothing short of stunning!These old timers might not be all over social media and Youtube like other professionals, but make no mistake – they’re working behind the scenes in thousands of businesses across the world. Popular older products: The Tried and True Many of the greatest paint correction experts out there prefer to use Meguiars compounds and polishes like M105, M100, M101, and M205. 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. 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.
