    I just want to say how much i love this series. Having a beginner learning from a pro, asking questions and getting advice as they go is just great. Ive watched all these videos and have goten great tips even though ive detailed my own cars for 25 years...youre never too old to learn as ive never had to use a compound until a year or two ago when i first came across this series. Great work mates!

    Thumbs up from Germany! I learnt such a lot from this series in the past few weeks...I have been using Meguiar's products in the 90s and early 2000s and I have just begun to put some more time into care care and detailing again. I was quite confused by the many different products on the market but the Meguiar's UK videos and also the short tutorials by Meguiar's Germany brought back my confidence that I chose the right brand. Thanks so much!

    • @soontirfel9219
      @soontirfel9219 Рік тому +1

      That really depends on the type of protection you're looking for. Ideally, if you're going to clay bar your vehicle, you would want to follow it up with a compound/polish and then wax the vehicle. If your paint is in great condition and little to no settlement build up exist, it is not necessary to clay bar before applying wax.

      A duel action polisher isn't designed to remove wax, all of the Meguiar's paste waxes with a thin coat applied to the surface should be easy to remove with a microfibre towel. The main benefit for having a DA Polisher is defect removal.
