Found all of this at my door step after work today!

So I commented on a Meguiar's product somewhere...I don't remember where...but a guy from Meguiar's contacted me and thanked me for the pleasant comment that I left for their products and to give them my address so they can send me a free gift. Well I figured I'd get a bottle of tire shine or something, but I checked the mail today and saw a big box on my porch. I opened it and here is what was inside...



Honestly, if you bought this stuff at a local parts store, it would be close to $40!!! I've used the Ultimate Wash & Wax and it's my favorite car wash as of right now, except the best stuff I've ever used was Griot's Garage Car Wash, but it's $8 for a 16oz bottle of it, plus shipping. I will continue to use Meguiar's products because I've had great results with most of their stuff I used. Plus they give out free stuff!

I've always used meguiars products. They are reasonably priced and do a great job. I have used a clay bar kit I don't know how many times and never had a bad result

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

The only stuff I've used so far is the Ultimate Wash N Wax and I absolutely love it! It gives a nice shine after and it feels so nice when applying it. The mitt just glides across the paint. Very nice stuff. I'm waiting for my exhaust to be done and then I'm gonna polish it up using my Griot's buffer and the Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, and finish it off with the Meguiar's Gold Class Carnuba Plus. Should give an amazing finish to my '83.

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

Thats awesome and it's nice that some corporations still reward their customers and thank them for their support. I did that with Skoal chewing tobacco once at a local 7 eleven and once outside the vendor gave me 2 free sleeves. Thankfully I quit and no longer need to support my habit. : )

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

One of my friends was sponsored by Meguiars, he just talked to a rep at the car show, gave him some information, two weeks later he got a letter from them, and he has used Meguiars ever since.

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

I use some of their "Mirror Glaze" polishing compounds, specifically the "swirl Remover" followed by the "Machine Glaze" prior to waxing (usually with Zaino) in order to get a perfect finish. Using the swirl remover and machine glaze on my orbital polisher takes out all of the fine scratches & swirls that you get from day to day use.

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

I recently purchased Meguires Ultimate Wash & Wax and I was really impressed by it. It does a great job and smell great too. I have not used a whole lot of their products, but if someone were to leave a box like that in my porch, then I'm pretty sure I'd be switching over to Meguires for sure.

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

I always use Meguiar's quik detailer to keep the fine dust off, works great, and one thing I love about Meguiars is that all there stuff smells great which in turn makes my car smell great, I've used some stuff(professional polish) that smelled disgusting, it did its job but wasn't the most pleasant thing

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

I called their customer service number last year and asked about a better option for interior detailing. While discussing my car and the products I use, the rep recommended I try their new detail spray for the exterior. I said I would have to look for it because I told him that their regular detail spray is like spraying water on the car and I wasn't impressed. He sent me a bottle of their new professional detail spray and their new interior vinyl/leather cream. I was impressed. I will shop Meguiar's only now because of this kind of support.

Re: Found all of this at my door step after work today!

Dr. Phil, Sorry to here about your luck with the soap. I thought that they were double sealed. Anyway don't let that stop you from trying it. A little goes a long way and its well worth it. IMO a micro fiber sponge works best.

Maybe I'm weird but I like when carwashes foam up a lot. I'm sure it's psychological but it just seems like its working better. The regular gold class hardly foams at all. Does the Ultimate foam more?
