3D car care products?

Ackrite · 11-14-2012, 01:44 AM

Anybody use it? I have some time off and want to polish my car, but I'm too impatient to buy stuff online then wait for shipping and there's a 3D Car Care Products store down the street from me. I watched every video in Junkman's series for novices and feel I'm ready to try it out. This would be the product line I would be using. If anyone has experience with this brand you input would be appreciated.

Not at all, never heard of them actually... Why wouldn't you stick to a tried and true brand like Meguiar's?

Some local stores carry their professional line (which is what the junkman uses), but worse comes to worse, Amazon can 1st or second day ship it. And if you have or know anyone who has Amazon Prime, they can get free 2nd day shipping.

Also, few random points, or just my 2 cents, if you're worried about ruining your clear coat, go with the OTC (Over the counter) Meg's Ultimate Compound and Polish, both are less aggressive than the Professional line, might take a bit longer depending on how bad your swirls/scratches are, but less chance of damaging your paint!
And I will recommend Meg's NXT wax, advantages: synthetic, easy to apply/buff off, you use VERY little, and no need to use a paint sealant before the waxing, NXT wax does it all!

Also, for clay bar, I recommend:
Easy Clay 2-pack 2x100g - Pink Color Clay Bar : Amazon.com : Automotive

Amazon.com: Easy Clay 100g - Red Color Clay Bar: Automotive

Same product, just more reviews on one vs the other. Its the mid range of aggressiveness, I just used it on 2 different cars, my Z and my buddy's 1994 RX7 whose paint was really neglected and damn it worked about 10 times better than Meg's OTC clay. (Literally the OTC Meg's took 20+ passes over an area to take the debris away and this stuff took only a few)
Warning, it is TACKY as ALL HELL, but it works really well! We used a bit of car wash soap and distilled water as our detailer/lube. (Or you can cut regular Meg's Quik Detailer 50/50 with distilled water)

And the reviews you see where people gave bad ratings has to be because they got "clay marring," which means one of two things, either they were being cheap with their detailer (usually the case,) or their home made lube wasn't slippery enough! (And if you're going to buff it out after, clay marring won't matter)

If you'd like I can probably help you out this weekend (Friday through Sunday), just shoot me a text (310)eight nine three-4207
I've got 2 almost brand new bottles of NXT wax, you can chip in for how much you use if you'd like

EDIT: I have Amazon Prime, so if you want to meet up this weekend and you want me to order supplies from them, shoot me a PM or preferably text and I can buy it. (2nd day shipping is free and overnight is $4 PER ITEM)
