Reddit reviews MEGUIAR'S G55032SP Complete Car Care Kit

I use Meguiar's products on my wrx and it keeps it looking brand new.

Honestly, buy the Meguiars's Complete Car Care kit, its like $40 on amazon and has every cleaning product imaginable, and I've used all the sprays and gels countless times.

I've never had a car worth spending time to detail and keep clean, so I too am a novice. Washed, clayed, waxed my car two weeks ago. Took me ~5 hours to do it all with a friend while we also BS'ed around but it was fun and exhausting at the same time lol.

I bought the Meguiars complete car care https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012ZEZ8A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

two 5-gallon buckets from Home Depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Home-Depot-5-gal-Homer-Bucket-05GLHD2/100087613

and 2 grit guards https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JINPJD8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think that's a great beginners set. Anyone who has other recommendations can chime in

You can't clear up a solid 2-4 hours to clean your car?

Honestly, some good car soap/shampoo, a bucket/grit gaurd, some good wax, and few cans of engine degreaser should be all you need to look pretty good.

I'd recommend this, this, and these to get started.

After you get the engine clean, and the outside cleaned and waxed, just vacuum out the inside and clean up any dust, grit, or dirt you might see. This should all take about 4 hours if you take your time.

i think those scratches will come out. they dont seem so bad. you can confirm this by running your nail around them and seeing if it catches your fingernail. youll be better off if they dont really catch.

i think i would go with this car kit from meguiars

as well as ultimate compound

and some polish

i would then wash the car, clay the car, scratchx the scratches, plastx the headlights, compound the car, polish the car, then wax the car.

that will definitely do you. if you have more money, check out a bunch of the sidebar lists for more stuff. maximus's pretty much has it all.

edit: and maybe a couple of these mf applicators. i think they are easier to use and spread the product and work it in really well.

It's my car! Wow, she looks wonderful. In this case I am working with a "work contest" where I get to pick $50 worth of items, so I'll probably pick out some chems and cleaners. The Meguiars Clay Bar kit is in the recommended tab, for an example. Our I might just tell them to order me this.

Yeah it was really only a couple charts, didn't give much detail. I found this Meguiar's Start Kit on Amazon for $50. Seems like it has pretty much everything. I was just gonna get another set of microfiber cloths to go with it, and maybe a separate wash mitt for the wheels. What do you think?

Thanks, i heard a ton about Meguires so I went ahead and got the complete kit for starters.

Ill check into your suggestions next time i buy product.

Is there anything im really missing in that bundle?

Would you consider something like this kit to be a better investment? It's mentioned in the FAQ.

This is the Megs kit I was talking about. I figured the cheap towels would be good for dirty jobs like wheels and exhaust. I'll take a look at the Griots offering. I'm thinking I'll be going with hand polishing for now. I want to get a good base before I maybe dive in over my head. Which towels would you recommend over the CG ones?

Putting together a kit for my white 370z, and this is what I have so far, any suggestions would be awesome, as I am a noob:

Complete Kit

Microfiber

Buckets: Home Depot

Grit Guards

Anything else im missing? Really just a noob atm.

It is pretty comprehensive :)

I use the Meguiar's Complete Car care kit which comes with a "quick detailer" similar to the above. I can't attest for the lucas slick mist stuff, but the quick detailer does look good.

For a full detail, I'll wash the car, then use the quick detailer and clay bar to get rid of any excess dirt, etc. Then use the actual wax from the kit and finish up with the headlight restoration stuff if needed. Makes the WRX look great. :) Hope that helps!

Hey all!
I recently bought a Meguiar's kit along with some of their microfibers and a "Water Magnet" in order to do my very first detail. My car is a white 2000 Subaru Outback and I was looking around stores and saw that Meguiar's offers a wax specific to white vehicles. I was wondering, is this just a marketing ploy or will it actually improve the end look of my car over the "Gold Class Carnauba Plus" included in my little kit. Thanks in advance for any help!

Amazon Review

You can never go wrong with memerobilia like a poster of his favorite mustang, or a sweatshirt with a foxbody on it or something. A basic or intermediate detailing kit is also a car guy must-have in my opinion, some guys go crazy detailing their cars but I think most like to do more than just wash it, it is their baby after all.

what kind of extractor do I need?

Also, would the interior cleaner in this kit work?

Thanks!

This is what I'm going with, seems to be a great product at a good price http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Complete-Car-Care-Kit/dp/B0012ZEZ8A/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1370274385&sr=1-2

Also, I need to know the order of doing some serious exterior detailing. From what I know now, it starts off with a regular car wash, then claying, then a wax/sealant. Any help on what products to buy, how to use them and the order of everything would be sweet. This is a kit I've been looking at for a while: http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Complete-Car-Care-Kit/dp/B0012ZEZ8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394395064&sr=8-1&keywords=Meguiar

I got the Meguiars Kit and I have been very happy with it. You just need more applicators, buckets, a sponge for the tire shine, & more microfibers. I also got wheel cleaner, 303, wheel brushes, interior detail brushes, etc.

Hey you can try hand buffing it with Meguiar's ScratchX. http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G10307-ScratchX-2-0-oz/dp/B0002UNON8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404933405&sr=8-1&keywords=scratchX

It will take a lot of work, but you should be able to visibly improve it with a lot of elbow grease. Wash car, use clay bar, wash car again, scratch x the scratch, apply polish, apply wax. When using scratchX, work in a shaded area, work a 6 inch area of the car at a time, spread the product evenly and work it in circles for about a couple minutes. Repeat 5-10 times. Then cover with a wax protectant / sealant.

Products I recommend:

Meguiar's Scratch X, Meguiar's Soft Foam "4 applicator pads, Meguiar's Supreme shine microfiber, Gold Class wax.

This kit has everything you need, but I recommend picking up some extra foam applicator pads and supreme shine microfiber towels: http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G55032-Complete-Car-Care/dp/B0012ZEZ8A/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1404932960&sr=8-7&keywords=scratchX
