Meguiar'sProfessional DA Microfiber Finishing Wax D30116 - Pro Microfiber Wax That's Easy to Use and Removes Light Defect while Protecting, Ideal for Use with a DA Microfiber Finishing Disc, 16 Oz

To open this review - I'm a comfortable "DIY" person, but had almost no experience in finishing / buffing cars outside of your usual eblow grease and generic wash/wax products from the autostore. I knew I needed to significantly step up my knowledge and approach to take on a classic car that sat for ~30 years oxidizing, getting sun spotted, and accumulating dirt.After a lot of reading and considering possible solutions... I arrived at the following products:- Porter Cable 7424XP and an Astro 4607 5" PU backing pad- Meguiar’s D300 Correction Compound applied with Meguiar's DMC6 Cutting Disc- Meguiar’s D301 Finishing Wax applied with Meguiar's DMF6 Finishing DiscThese selections were made as something that seemed like it would provide a good result, with limited risk of burning through what paint is there or otherwise "doing more harm than good". I had high hopes but low expectations. The end result has exceeded my hopes. There is an argument that a higher cut product may have been acceptable for the car in question - but I still worried about my capabilities in using it without doing more harm than good.At any rate, the Meguiar's products did an incredible job in removing oxidation, imperfections, and restoring shine. The pictures tell the story - but I also think the pictures fail to capture how dramatic the difference REALLY is in real life.With that said, the car itself was haphazardly repainted ~30 years ago. It has plenty of knicks and dings, some areas that were damaged beyond any product's ability to save, and other assorted imperfections. I never expected a show quality car, but just wanted something that would look "GOOD" driving and having fun for a few years until I'm able to consider a more extensive restoration. With that goal set in mind, I think this was the perfect selection of products.A couple notes on application process I took for this particular project:- 3 applications of D300. The first took up most of the oxidation. All of that grime and garbage made this application kind of "ugly" looking as working. The product did tend to dry on and stay behind with this application without several pauses to clean the pad. Not unexpected given the starting condition of the car. Second application was a much smoother process where you could really start see the finish smoothing out and color coming back. Third application was subtle improvements only - IE - what you want. It almost felt like you weren't doing anything at that point.- Wipe down with a microfiber cloth by hand to get up any extra residue- 1 application of D301, working over and over and over until the wax lines / cloudiness is almost completely gone.- Follow up circular hand polish with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any excess wax and even out the remainder of the application.Per instructions on the bottle - simply clean pads with an air compressor. I blew out both discs after each application while letting them spin on the tool. I'm actually surprised at how well they continue to "clean up" - again and again.Hope this info is useful in guiding someone to taking on a project - and hopefully - being as similarly pleased as I am!

Leaves a very good shine without a lot of effort.

Meguiar's finishing wax and compound is by far the best products to use for getting a nice clean and smooth exterior for your car, used it as apart of the main process for exterior work for 2 years at a detailing shop and my father has used it for work, side work and personal detailing for 25 years and it has never done him any wrong during that time. Highly Recommend.

I have a White 2010 Toyota Tacoma which I bought new. I admit, I am anal about keeping it clean. This truck is garage kept. One day I noticed the roof had a dull finish! I was furious. I always keep it clean with a nice coat of Meguires wax. I tried Meguires cleaner wax and it was tough to get off, didn't work. So, I bought the Meguires random orbital kit with the Correction Compound and the Finishing wax. It was easy and turned out awesome. Now I find my neighbors are coming to me with their vehicles. I have used Meguires for 40 years. I know some people who have tried other brands. Guess what, they came right back to Meguires. It's easy to work with and easy to take off. Leaving a great finish. My Taco has 120,000 miles plus and I still get compliments.

I'm a big fan of D300, so naturally when I got the finishing wax I assumed i'd be equally as pleased with it.It really does do a lot to increase shine and gloss, and the protection is pretty good considering just how fast it is to apply and remove the product.

I bought this in a 2 part kit. It's was recommended by a professional and even though I had zero experience detailing paint, I got professional results. Make sure you use a top grade rotary buffer and top of the line pads (I would recommend Meguiars products for the entire system) and you should get the same results as I have.

Happy with the results and it smells really nice. Should be a car freshener that smells this good. LOL.

Glad I chose to go with meguiars compound and finishing wax. The compound and wax were easy to apply and remove. Great results removed spider swirls from automatic car washes.
