Sounds like the title of a version of computer software, doesn't it?
Meg's recommended this as being their best product for Milltek's new black satin ceramic exhaust tip finish - I was with 'Mr Milltek' at the time and so they understood we needed to know for real and not be sold just any Meg's product. The result was also some free samples.
Well, it's very gentle but very effective on my tips and extremely easy to use : -

I'm not someone who likes to spend more than 2hrs max on cleaning my car, so it suits me well.
Has anyone used this on their paintwork? I'm thinking of trying it.
:happy2:

They do look nice Robin :love:

I agree 2 hours a day is more than enough for me as well. :wink:
-
The NXT Tech Wax and Tech Wax 2 are good products but not quite as durable as some.
-
Nice products but there more of a sealant than a wax and also not great for durability.
Cant see why any other good paste wax wont be great for the tips?

....
The brief to Meguiar's was that it must give a shine and be extremely none-abrasive.
Being very liquid it's very easy to apply, especially as the gaps for fingers are tight.
The good thing about it is that it doesn't leave a residue.
-
i use the Megs tech wax sometimes and find it quite good it also smells nice too, i always seal it with some collinite after :smiley:
-
Thats the stuff that i use on my car Robin, to give that good old Pink finish that soo many people like :laugh:.
Works well on the alloys i find ,and in fact all parts of the car thats shiny tbh.
Although been using Dodo for the 1st time from Autoperfection, and thats just the beezz kneee's :happy2:

Yes, I bought some Dodo Red Mist speed detailer from Taryn at SC but haven't started using it yet as I still have some Meg's Ultimate Quik Detailer which I find the best yet for daily marks removal like bird poo.
OooooH! Listen to me! Talkin' all fancy about cleanin' :evilgrin:
-
The Megs is good stuff comes in paste and liquid, I used to use the liquid as it was a quick fix and easy to apply.
But I am a Dodo convert. :drinking:

i gave mine a going over with said wax today and not sure about durability but imo the results are better than dodo juice !!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm gonna buck the the trend and say the Techwax is pants! I used Turtlewax Extreme on my old motor but bought some of Meg's to try something different. I was never really happy with the result so last week a washed everything off and use the Turtle again. It looks so much better! Its deeper, smoother and beads up much better than the Meg's too IMO. The only issue I have is the residue left behind but its easily sorted with a second clean cloth.

....
I'm not bothered whether the Techwax is pants on bodywork - I only use it on my satin black exhausts and on that it's absolutely perfect.
-
I'll save mine for when I can afford the Miltec then! :signLOL:

Durability is much better with the turtlewax. I wouldnt use either as my main wax for the paint though, ok for things like exhaust!
-
What wax you using Jules?
-
I have some swissvax onyx on at the mo, nothing special but a nice summer wax!
I have some zymol carbon i might put on next.
At the end of the day its not the wax that creates the finish its the prep. Put a great wax on a poorly prepped car and it will be outshone by a cheap wax on a well prepped car.
