Got my gifts today, it was more than I expected, I'm extremely happy

Meguiars cap, Meguiars leather key-ring, Meguiars wrist watch

Awesome

They owed it to you and you deserve the gifts

bumpkin · **Reply #62: July 23, 2009, 17:28:39**

Good stuff................maybe I should contact Autoglym

Blue · **Reply #63: July 23, 2009, 18:38:18**

Brilliant!

Well done Hemmi!!

Just like to point out to our Aussie members Maguires is an American company, i use some of there products, but when Armerall make a compareable product i use Armerall they make brilliant product like most Aussie's would know and they are Australian so i support them and hope it helps other Aussies.
but then again nothing is made in USA these day's.
cheers

Appreciation also goes to these guys...

Meguiars replied to my email about some free product for Hemmi within a few hours saying they'd get back to me within 48 hours... But they never did :-( (disappointing but not unexpected...)

I just sent the following to Meguiar's in Australia for their information also.

"Hi, I am a member of the Hyundai i30 owner's club at www.i30ownersclub.com and I just wanted to bring to your attention this guy, Hemmi, who lives in Iceland and is ALWAYS talking about how great Meguiars products are.

He uses nothing else and I thought you might be interested in this thread.

Please take the time to read it through.

The last comment is a bit disappointing as far as the response is concerned. I know it has nothing to do with you guys in Australia (as I said, Hemmi lives in Reykjavik, Iceland) but he certainly looks after his i30!

Regards,

Dave"

Excellent Hemmi, enjoy them.

I have taken my first tentative step across to the shiny(er) side by purchasing the NXT Quick Detail and have to say

I am impressed.

Basically I wanted something which was quick and easy for a "mini-wax" between my quarterly full blown cleans and Autoglym don't do such a thing, so I went for the Meguiars.

If all there products work as well and as EASILY then I may be starting to convert

I actually don't like Armorall as I find it too greasy and it attracts dust, otherwise I'd use it.

Sorry, still trying to work out how to get the "quote" in white and my reply not!

Having read through this thread, I can safely say Meguiar's have just earned another customer

While I'm waiting for delivery I may as well stock up, right?

bumpkin · **Reply #75: March 20, 2010, 19:36:37**

Right

I have just spent the afternoon on mine

Washed with Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and Wash Mitt.
Chamois dry.
Microfibre wipe.
Waxed with Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax, applied with Meguiars Pad and polished with Microfibre.
Black plastics polished with AutoGlym Bumper Restore.
Tyre walls sheened with Turtle Wax Silicone.
Bodywork repolished with AutoGlym High Gloss Protection.
Alloys waxed with AutoGlym Super Resin wax.

Oh she is shining

I never use any special product for the dashboard, I just use a wet or dry microfibre towel.
Then just vacuum glean the carpets and floor mats (except winter when I use rubber mats)
Also clean the insides of doors.

And now when the car is clean and dry I start polishing.

First I mask the car with special tape over plastics and stuff that I dont want to polish.

I used NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0 and Dual Action Polisher to do the job.

Then I just wipe the wax of when dry with a microfibre towel.

To top it off I then use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer™

WOW!
The car looks amazing Hemmi!
I am now a Meguiar's convert after seeing this thread.

What sort of special tape do you use to protect parts you don't want to polish?
What parts would you say shouldn't get polish on them?

Do you use any products on external plastics to make them clean & also shine? eg around door mirrors and also lights

Do you still own the car? If so does still look like these old pics?

Doggie 1 · **Reply #87: November 02, 2012, 07:44:53**

Welcome to the forum, Hman.
Hemmi's car continues to impress. He's actually sold it to, I believe, fund his eduaction in Spain.
It certainly was a stunner that he maintained perfectly.

snowcherry · **Reply #88: November 13, 2012, 01:49:19**

my car is miserable - i haven't cleaned her in ages. hemmi's photos make her cry

Seoul-mate · **Reply #89: November 13, 2012, 08:13:07**

Hey SC, you had better get ready to shine that car as Trev and I are still
coming up your way one day for coffee in downtown Gympie. That right Trev?
