First time I have ever used my G100 with the #83 and #80.

The car is a 2000 ML320 that has never been waxed. It has seen tough New Hampshire winters with a lot of road salt. 125k miles on the paint.

Process:

Smooth Surface Clay

Meguiars #83 Dual Action Cleaner/Polish - G100 on speed 5 with an 8006 pad. - Twice

Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze - G100 on speed 5 with an 8006 pad. - Twice

NXT - Put it on twice with a pad.

Pictures were taken while it was dark so they are not that great.

The 83/80 is an awesome combo aint it? Once you start make sure you keep it all nice and slow. Don't get in a rush. Its a slow process the first time you do a car with a DA.
I know it took me forever to get my truck unswirled, but now I can give it a once over with the 80 in about 1.5 hours about every 3 months and it comes out perfect.
If you are looking for a bit more depth apply some of the Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish in between the 80 and the wax. Just rub it in by hand a section at a time and wipe it off. Don't let it dry. It really brings the gloss/depth out.
My favorite combo now is 80, Deep Crystal Polish, and 2 Coats of the 26 Yellow Wax. Its really deep.

Hey Joke!!

How much dust did you have to wipe off of that cleaning kit before you buffed that car???
