Default Meguiars - Help needed

Hi all,

Bought the Deep Crystal 3 step kit and some scratch X from Meguiars, and put them all to good use at the weekend. Very pleased with the results, but...............

Just been out to the car, and a nearby tree has dumped loads of little specs of sap ? or some other sh*t all over my car

Anyhoo, Meguiars recommend using some detail stuff between polishes - which I don't have. Can I just clean it with normal car wash ? And what's an easy way of removing all this tree poop ?!?

Ta

Provided you don't let the sap bake on too much then it should just come off with a wash, especially if you have a decent layer of wax on the car already. Wouldn't leave it for too long before washing though, and don't park under trees unless unavoidable

Cheers mate, don't worry - it's the first thing I'll do when I get home, I just wondered about the Meguiars.

Bl00dy typical though , some bird has shat on me boot aswell - not taking her out again (Old ones always the best )

Cheers

I use the whole range and the Meguiars shampoo is great. It's bright pink but can't remember what it's called. My car was "lime tree'd" on the other day and a nice hot wash with the Meguiars shampoo brought it all off.

You'll have no problems shifting it

used the soft wash gel last night, and it's good stuff.

windscreen has never been so clean and seems to have improved the performance of my wipers!

oh, and yes - it smells nice
