Complete Car Care Kit

So if you are pretty new to detailing and want to get this done in one day I just want to let you know it requires a lot of wiping. You are going to wipe your car while washing it, wipe it dry, wipe it with a little clay bar, wipe ScratchX on, wipe it off, wipe the wax on, wipe it off, wipe the whole interior, and wipe the tires (twice is suggested) then wipe them off. The tire gel did work for my black trim on my Impala's exterior.It is not the product's fault but expect an arm workout. If you have the money you might want to buy some polishers or something. Some notes on the products themselves:Interior detailer: If leaves almost no shine. Pretty standard as far as cleaning goes but if you're not looking for any shine this is your best bet.Exterior detailer: This is like the car version of a multi-surface cleaner. Use this if you don't feel like washing your car. It works.Tire Gel: Smells like grapes. Try to rub it as close as to your tread as possible but don't put it in your treads if you value your life. This does make your tires black.Car wash: Really soapy and easy to use. Combine with water.Wax: I am sorry I actually can't say much about this. I had a really hard time even telling if I wiped it all off because my car was white and it was getting dark.PlastX: My 04 Impala has good looking headlights. This product is the first step for cars with yellow headlights. I put this on an extra foam/cloth applicator and used it on my mother's Accord. It did work very well but the plastic still looks a little foggy like almost a hazy clear color. I am not sure if the headlights need something else put on them to make them clear or if it's because they're old but they look 10x better than before.ScratchX: Worked really well under all the door handles. Will remove a lot of stuff that nothing else in this package cannot. Works especially when used on the paint marks on your car (elbow grease not included.)Clay: If you haven't used this before it's pretty much silly putty or maybe even clay in the size of a bar of soap. I personally feel like it should be bigger but this is just an intro pack. You're going to wipe your whole car with this little thing.The wash mitt is cool. Gets your soap really sudsy. The towel is 2 notches above the bulk microfiber towels. The foam applicator is cheap but better than nothing. You're going to need extra applicators or at least extra towers. One towel is definitely not enough.

I purchased this kit, as I was intended to buy most of these products anyway and it was much cheaper bought as a kit. All of the products work very well and are very high quality, as would be expected of Meguir's.-The car soap has a pleasant smell and easily lifts off dirt without scratching your vehicles paint.-The wax really impressed me. I work offshore and washed and waxed my truck a few days before flying out. My truck stayed in a dusty gravel parking lot for two weeks and still looked freshly waxed when I got back. Normally it looks like someone took a plaster impression of my truck and forgot to wash off the residue. So, yeah the kit was worth it to me for just the wax alone.-The tire shine is excellent and is probably the best I've used to date. It is a very thick gel, that is a little difficult to get into all the nooks and crannies, but provides a very long lasting shine and protection to you tires. Make sure to get a foam applicator pad, as it's not easy to put on with a microfiber towel.-The interior detailer works very well and provides a barrier against dusk and smudges, without leaving a nasty oily residue like some other products do. I hate using the greasy products, cause they always make my dash shiny and the residue seems to trap more dust and fibers than a matte finish.-The wash mitt works really well and is very soft, so I know it's not going to scratch my paint. My only complaint is that it is a little difficult to get clean and I can see myself having to replace it soon. I got some tar on it when I drove over a freshly paved road section and that stuff is now a permanent part of the glove, it's only a very small spot though.-The foam applicator is a little disappointing, it feels porous and unsubstantial and doesn't really hold was any better than most cheap foam pads I've used. It's not my tire shine pad.-I haven't used the plastic renewal product yet, since my truck is pretty new and I don't have cloudy headlights.-The drying towel is alright, but I really prefer natural chamois to synthetic ones, nostalgic I guess. It does works fine, but just doesn't have the same feel to it.-My only real gripe is with the clay bar, while I love the detailing spray and it will get a lot of use for touch-ups in between washes, the clay bar just isn't aggressive enough to work properly. I would personally go with Mother's clay bar kit if you are looking to get a good removal of contaminants and stubborn stuck on stuff.All in all though this kit is an excellent purchase for anyone just getting into detailing that needs the basic products to get a good long lasting shine on their vehicles.
