Meguiars 2009 Holiday Kit

Complete care inside and out!The Meguiars Gold Class Wash & Wax Kit gives you three essential products to clean and protect your vehicle’s interior and exterior. For vehicles in good condition, this kit is all you need to maintain the beauty of automotive surfaces. The Meguiars Gold Class Wash & Wax Kit makes a great gift for car lovers!

 

The Meguiars Gold Class Wash & Wax Kit includes:

16 oz. Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash
Luxurious suds with conditioners nourish your finish and create a brilliantly slick surface that encourages water to flow off in sheets. This wash reduces drying time and leaves a shimmering gloss. The rich conditioners pamper the paint and make the washing process a dream as your wash mitt or sponge glides across the slick surface. This is far more than a car wash…it is a lavish spa for your automobile.

16 oz. Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax
Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax contains a blend of carnauba and polymers to pamper, protect and enhance your vehicle. The liquid formula removes fine swirls and provides a shiny, long-lasting, protective finish. In addition to visual perfection, Meguiar’s Gold Class Wax will give your clear coat great protection against sun damage, oxidation, and acid rain. With regular waxing, painted surfaces will stay newer longer.The Meguiars Gold Class Wash & Wax Kit comes in a box. It makes a great gift!

16 oz. Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer
Use Quik Interior Detailer to spruce up your vehicle in just minutes so your passengers don’t get left in the dust, literally. This cleaner wipes dust, dirt, smudges, and fingerprints off of all interior plastics, metal, rubber, leather, vinyl, and your stereo without leaving a greasy film. Just spray and wipe to clean and maintain all these surfaces. Of course, good looks can’t make up for bad odors, so Quik Interior Detailer also leaves your vehicle smelling fresh.

Meguiars Foam Applicator
Meguiar’s signature applicator applies any wax to your vehicle safely and smoothly. The soft foam pad is washable and reusable. Use it for all your wax application needs.

16 x 24 inch Meguiars Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel
The Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel is made with a deep, dual-sided pile that wipes away wax while rendering a smooth, mirror-like shine. The fabric is pre-washed prior to being hemmed to give it maximum absorbency right out of the package. The thirsty fibers can absorb three times more water as a terry cloth towel and microfiber is softer, too!

The Meguiars Gold Class Wash & Wax Kit is a fantastic introduction to Meguiars products. You’ll experience the easy application, instantly beautiful results, and long-lasting protection of three of Meguiars finest products from the Gold Class line. Pamper your vehicle today to enjoy a clean, well-maintained vehicle tomorrow.

Kit includes:
16 oz. Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash

Sema Show 2009 at autogeek

By Dwayne

Got back home last night and came into the office today to get caught up from being gone a week. Thanks to Meghan, Penny, Bobby and the rest of the team here, the list of things to do is quite short considering that I was gone for an entire week. Meghan does a great job of keeping things running smooth when we leave for the SEMA Show.

This is my third year in a row representing Autogeek.net at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and thanks to Max, each year just keeps getting better and better and I am thankful to be a part of it. During the show the Autogeek.net booth was literally a who’s who of names that matter in the car care industry. It was just like our Shop By Brand page, only in person! (and even a few company reps/owners stopped by to visit who’s products aren’t on Autogeek.net)

There is a long list of people who made the 2009 SEMA Show so special for Autogeek.net and deserve thanks:

Max for everything that he did to make this a great show for Autogeek

Jason for his hands on leadership during the show

Mike Phillips for taking hundreds of photos for you guys and always remembering to bring me back some cool autographed posters and even one poster that I want to set on fire

Anthony aka OCDetails also aka Jngrbdman aka honorary Autogeek staff member for being there the entire week to help us out

Doug and Chris from Grit Guard who were also there with us the entire week

Steve aka Poorboy and also Ronkh for being there to talk about Poorboy’s World products

On Tuesday:

Bob Eichelberg from Flex for demonstrated the Flex polishers

JJ from Finish Kare displayed the Finish Kare line and was giving away samples of 425 Detal Spray!

Eric Dunn discussed the variety of foam and wool pads from Lake Country Manufacturing

On Wednesday:

Richard Griot joined us to talk about the Griot’s Garage line of car care products and orbital polishers

Dan from Meguiars brought over the new Meguiars G110 V2 (Version 2) polisher so we could get our hands on it and learn more

Rick Goldstein from Raggtopp spent some time discussing proper convertible top care

On Thursday:

Forest from Mothers revealed the new Mothers Powerball 4 Headlights and the Mothers Headlight Restoration Kit

David from Optimum Polymer Technologies was there to discuss Optimum products and especially proper technique for Optimum No Rinse

Doug and Chris Lamb from Grit Guard too center stage to show the benfits of the Universal Pad Washer. Using video on his iPhone was really helpful to see how well the Pad Washer works.

What a great week it was and the dinner parties at night were phenomenal.

Here are links to all of the photo threads so that you can experience the 2009 SEMA Show too, minus the sore feet from all the walking. It’s the next best thing to being there!

Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge

The Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge measures the paint thickness on all metals, including steel and aluminum. Before you buy a used car or begin reconditioning a damaged finish, check the paint’s thickness for clues about its condition and history. The Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge provides invaluable information for car professionals, detailers, and car buyers!

The Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge is superior to other paint gauges on the market because it works on any metal and it automatically identifies the surface. Measurements are displayed instantly on a large LCD screen that is viewable from any angle.

The Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge has a number of practical uses for detailers, dealerships, repair shops, painters, and more. Here’s a brief list:

  • Detailers, both professional and hobbyists, use the Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge to determine the depth of paint to avoid over-polishing. With this powerful knowledge, you’ll know what areas of the vehicle to avoid or where to tread gently when removing imperfections.
  • Car Refinishers can deliver an even, consistent paint finish by identifying thin or thick areas of paint and adjusting the application accordingly. Using the Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge improves the quality of a repaint and takes the guesswork out of getting an even coat.
The Defelsko Paint Thickness Gauge takes measurements quickly and automatically.
Simply hold the Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge against the paint to take quick, accurate measurements.
  • Body shop and repair technicians can identify areas of thin paint or determine the depth of paint damage, such as water spot etching. The Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge identifies where more clear coating or paint stripping is needed.
  • Car buyers or dealerships can identify refinish work on vehicles. Areas of thicker paint indicate refinish work, which impacts the value of a vehicle. Previously you had to rely on a visual inspection but now the Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge can tell you for sure if the vehicle has undergone body work. Don’t go to a car auction without it!
The Defelsko Posi-Test has an automatic flip display.
The PosiTest DFT Combo Paint Thickness Gauge displays the measurement right-side up no matter how you turn it on a large LCD screen.

The Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge works instantly and gives you a clear, digital reading of paint thickness. Its speed makes it easy for you to take multiple readings on a panel to compare thicknesses and see the big picture. Thicker patches of paint indicate some type of repainting, whether its to patch a rust spot or to cover repair work. Knowing this information in advance of polishing or purchasing a car will help you make informed decisions concerning the value, condition, and potential trouble spots of the vehicle.

Anyone with the need to control the amount of paint being applied or removed to a vehicle recognizes considerable benefits from a paint thickness meter. That includes detailers, repair technicians, car appraisers, and car buyers.
