Default Meguiar's 3 step

I had been noticing all these little orange dots all over UBugNMe and could not get them off. Scott suggested using Meguiar's three step as the first step is the paint cleaner(second is polisher and third is wax). I spent literally 5 hours cleaning, polishing and waxing(yeah my right side is killing me and I am little sun burned)....the paint looks and feels new...except for the rock chips and where the paint is spidering on the bumper because obviously the body shop did a crappy job. I am going to go out and get her inside cleaned up and see if Scott wants to take a ride to get some good pictures of her all cleaned up.

Pictures later today. She looks so nice. I highly recommend Meguiar's 3 step

Good stuff indeed. I used the 3-step myself and it is awesome on black cars too I also use the Meguiars NXT wax as well- incredible shine, and quick to apply.

Can't wait to see those pics.

Just gave my Bug a good wash & wax yesterday with Meguiars. Was not familiar with the paint cleaner step (have to look into that) have little black specks and 1 or 2 orange dots as well imbedded into the paint. I just did the wash & wax with NXT. Did the paint cleaner take all the spots out??
The problem with a Vert. is you have to wash it by hand and that's when you notice all the little chips and scratches.
Also applied Raggtop to the beige top. Cleaned up slightly, have yet to see if the water beads on it when it rains.

I had a ton of those little orange spots all over her and I got about 95% of the off with the paint cleaner and a little elbow grease. I just sat on the ground and went all around her. It rained so I didn't get the pics done urghhh....maybe today

I snapped a few pics this morning before I left for work. Here they are....she looks so nice, even with very little sun this morning she has great shine....




That is a magnet by the way...she doesn't get "stickers"
