Greetings Everyone:
When asked why I love the Car Hobby so much, I find my thoughts
going in 16 different directions. It seems theres no end to the reasons
that come to mind.
On an individual basis, all of us have become better people and we have
better friends because were Car Guys. Its like the Car Hobby is a natural
screening process that only attracts those who are inherently good people. I
often say if there were more Car Guys in the world, there would be less wars.
The common attraction, of course, is this universal passion we have for our cars . . .
and the respect we share for each others dedication to making our cars look show
car perfect. While expensively rare cars are due their respect, Car Guys appreciate
how much work and perseverance is required to take any car to show car status. Thats
the common bond that breaks down all the social barriers and unites us.
It is this intrinsic value of the Car Hobby that has driven our passion to help grow it from its
earliest days into what it is today. And it is this same passion that has driven us to create the
amazing products that youll find in this catalog.

Pride
Passion
Performance
Three simple words that drive the Meguiars team. For over 100 years, weve
shared our passion for cars and the products that help you restore a faded paint
finish, bring life back to an old set of mags or just show off that deep, glossy shine!
Every year we work to raise the bar higher and this year is no different. We
challenged our scientists to create our longest-lasting, highest performance tire
dressing resulting in ULTIMATE BLACK TIRE COATING. And, building on our
successful Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer, were introducing ULTIMATE BLACK
TRIM SPONGES to conveniently and quickly restore exterior plastics, vinyl & rubber.
For the inside of your ride, we have ULTIMATE INTERIOR DETAILER providing
incredible cleaning and UV protection with a sophisticated, matte sheen. Lastly, a
revolutionary way to eliminate odors and keep your car smelling fresh with WHOLE
CAR AIR REFRESHERS available in three uniquely blended fragrances.
THE POLISHING
REVOLUTION
With any job, the right tool can make all the difference in reducing time, producing
better results and generally making the overall experience more rewarding.
Meguiars DA Power System is a patented tool that attaches to your household
drill to make compounding, polishing and waxing not only faster, but with results
that approach those of a trained professional.
The heart of the tool is its Dual Action (DA) motion, which has been available
to professional detailers in specialized power tools for years. By spinning and
oscillating the pad at the same time (similar to the earths rotation as it orbits
around the sun), this dual action motion in Meguiars DA Power System is able to
quickly remove oxidation, swirls and scratches, yet do it safely and without worry
of damaging the surface, even for the first time user.
STEP 1
WASH
In automotive paint care, washing and cleaning are not the same. While they sound
similar, they are vastly different procedures. Washing removes loose contaminants
from your finish like dust, road grime, and fresh bird droppings. (Well cover
cleaning in Step 2.)
A common misconception is that dishwashing detergent is safe to use as car
wash. Absolutely not!
Detergents are formulated to strip everything off of the surface, leaving it squeaky
clean. A squeaky paint finish tells you that it has no protection. With repeated use,
dishwashing detergents remove everything from your paint finish including waxes,
silicones and polymers. Once this is accomplished, they then proceed to remove
the life giving oils in your paint finish, actually accelerating the oxidation process.
All of Meguiars car wash products are pH balanced and specifically formulated to
enhance the appearance and protection of automotive paint finishes.

STEP 2
CLEAN/PREP
CLEANING, or Surface Preparation, consists of first removing any bonded abovesurface contaminants, and then eliminating below-surface defects, like stains,
blemishes and oxidation.
To begin, after washing your car pass your fingertips over the surface. Do you feel
roughness like micro speed bumps on your paint? If so, these are above-surface,
bonded contaminants. Over time, these contaminants will dull your paint and rob
your car of its shine.
Fortunately, Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit includes everything that you
need to safely, and easily, remove bonded contaminants, leaving the surface as
smooth as glass!

After removing bonded contaminants that you can feel, examine the paint finish
from different angles and light sources to reveal any visible, below-surface defects
like oxidation (dullness), stains/blemishes and fine scratches. Meguiars offers
a range of clear-coat safe products to remedy below surface defects. You can
either visit us on-line or call our Customer Care Center 800-347-5700 if you have
questions or need specific advice.

STEP 3
POLISH
Polishing is an optional step, and is different from waxing. While some modern-day
marketers have caused confusion by naively misusing the terms, the definitions are
clear. As in polishing a diamond, the sole purpose of polishing is to create brilliant
high gloss. For car show enthusiasts who are obsessed with having perfectly
clear reflections, Meguiars Ultimate Polish is the perfect choice. Others may be
looking to remove the last hints of swirl marks while maximizing the gloss. In this
case, a Cleaner/Polish like Meguiars Polishing Compound is a good solution.
Waxing falls under the larger heading of protecting the paint finish, which well
discuss in Step 4.

STEP 4
WAX/
PROTECT
Waxing protects the paint finish from the elements by coating it with waxes, polymers,
resins and silicones. In addition to protecting, waxing can also lock-in the gloss
to create brilliance, deepen/enrich dark colors and offer other benefits, such as
water beading and light swirl removal depending on the formulation.
All of Meguiars waxes are clear coat safe, with choices available in paste, liquid
or spray depending on your needs and preferences. Note that every car and car
owner is different, as are the environments in which they live and how they are
cared for. All of these variables affect how long a wax lasts. Generally speaking, we
recommend waxing your car 3-4 times per year, but more frequent waxing is OK!

STEP 5
MAINTAIN
Once a car is waxed, the best ongoing protection for your cars finish is regular
attention, or maintaining the finish. Regardless of whether your car is parked or
being driven, its in a hostile environment.
Everything that flies, from a gnat to a 747, expels contaminants that are determined
to bond to and then etch into your cars finish. Add to this acid rain, industrial fallout
and those unavoidable UV rays (the No. 1 cause of paint degradation), and you can
see how your car is constantly under attack. The more your car is exposed to the
elements, and the harsher the environment is where you live, the more attention
your paint finish will require.
Fortunately, Meguiars has made it easy for you with our mist and wipe detailers.
Meguiars Quik Detailers allow you to safely and easily remove contaminants
before they have time to bond to your paint finish. These products form the missing
link between washing and waxing, allowing you to greatly extend the protective
qualities of your car wax.

WHEELS &
TIRES
Arguably one of the most important and defining features of a car is its wheel & tire
package. What used to be limited to paint, chrome and aluminum has expanded into
a variety of finishes from custom wheel manufacturers who are constantly driving
advances in design and materials. Similarly, car makers have also added a diverse
offering of wheels. Whether your rides equipped with custom 3-piece forged rims,
factory clear-coated silver alloys, or a trick set of chrome plated wires, Meguiars
has developed the correct cleaners & polishes to make your wheels look their best.
But clean wheels with dull, dingy tires is just wrong, so Meguiars also offers
Ultimate, Endurance & Hot Shine tire dressings to make your tires look their best.
And in addition to improving your tires appearance, Meguiars tire dressings also
protect your tires, helping to prevent browning & premature aging of the rubber.
