Meguiar's Complete Car Care Kit - The Ultimate Car Detailing Kit for a Showroom Shine - Includes Products for Cleaning and Detailing for the Interior and Exterior of your Car or Truck

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.

I recently bought my first car, and while it isn't new, it is new to me. My brother-in-law is a mechanic and car enthusiast, and from the time my husband and I started talking about buying a car, he began to interrogate us on our plans to take care of it (our previous car was an old hand-me-down and we didn't "take care of it" so much as "struggled to keep it running"), from maintenance schedules to washing routines. He's old school: He talks to mechanic friends, asks around at the local dealership, checks in with the local auto parts stores, when he needs car information. We're new school: YouTube tutorials, review aggregation, almost exclusively on-line consumers. Privately, my sister confided that he didn't think our approach was a legitimate one when it came to car detailing.We purchased this kit a week after we got our car, and on the two-week anniversary of the purchase, we asked permission to use his hose (with the car-wash nozzle-thingy) and got to work. When I lined the products up (to remember the recommended order given in another review by Steve H. which was PERFECT by the way), he couldn't help but voice surprise we'd gotten such a comprehensive collection of products (and was further impressed when I told him Amazon's rock-bottom price). Under the guise of "playing catch" outside, he watched over us, giving us on-the-spot tips he'd learned about efficient washing. When it was all over, and my husband and I were admiring how beautiful the car looked (bright, shiny, and smooth-as-silk to the touch (which I know we aren't supposed to do but then WHY DOES IT FEEL SO GOOD?!)), my brother-in-law came out and said two things I think I'll never forget:"Wow, you guys are still out here?" *a beat to look at the car* "Wow. Looks great. Want to do mine next?"It goes without saying that no one else but him has ever washed his car (not even the dealership when he gets it serviced, vacuum only), so we couldn't ask for a better compliment. This was our first detail and the products were so easy to use. With Steve H.'s recommended tips, we were able to hide many of the flaws in the paint that we noticed (and negotiated with) at purchase after the dealer's so-called "detailing" and produce an amazing, like-new finish look on our '09 Subaru.I would recommend this to anyone, even those who have never detailed a car before. It's such a great kit, and it will give you exactly the look you are hoping for with a minimal amount of work. I'll never run my car through a "touchless" car wash again, knowing I can produce a work of art from home with this kit and careful upkeep. I recommend you do the same!

This is a great all-in-one starter kit to introduce you to a good lineup of Meguiar's products. I've always preferred them over others, and so do a lot of enthusiasts alike!The wash mit is by far the best one I've found, and in fact I've ordered several since to make sure I always have a clean one (remember if it touches the ground, a wheel, or anything else caked with dirt, wash it before touching your paint please).The Shampoo/Conditioner is the best I've found next to Pert Plus :-). It's a classic that suds/foams well and does a great job of getting off grime and washing off clean w/out residue.The interior detailer is a great detailer that does not leave a real greasy/ugly after effect on your dash/equipment that some others do.I used the PlastX on some old headlights and it seemed to work surprisingly well, I haven't been able to get them clean with any regular cleaner before, but i haven't tried any other specialty/target cleaners on them yet either so I can't necessarily compare.Quik detailer is good for cleaning off that bird droppings the day after you wash your car and you don't want to do it again. Now if they only came out with a product to get rid of the birds...I like the Gold Liquid Wax - I've only used it once though and i thought it looked pretty good afterwards and held up fairly well. I don't wax enough (I know I should) to really compare this well.If you just want to get a feel for some of their products, just starting out, or need all of them - then go ahead and get this kit. You can't go wrong, as it is very reasonably price for the amount of beauty it provides to your car and your life.
