2003 Ipsum 240i Type S: To Meguiar's Malaysia

Hi Meguiar's,

It all started when I was looking for a good leather seats cleaner and
conditioner for my Proton Perdana V6. I heard how good Meguiar's
products are and came across Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner
& Conditioner. I think my Perdana deserves it, so I bought it. It was
the only Meguiar's product which I used since 2004, and used
regularly.

In 2007, I sat in another 2004 Perdana V6 and noticed how well I have
maintained my leather seats with Meguiar's. My seats still shining
like new with no visible cracks and clean.

In 2008, I purchased a reconditioned MPV from Japan, a 2003 Toyota
Ipsum. The dealer gave me a fresh coating of paint - solid black. I
noticed that the Garage which did the re-spray uses Meguiar's to prep
all cars for delivery. The car was delivered to me free from swirl.

With an aim of maintaining it, I purchased Meguiar's Shine Microfibre
Towel to rinse the car after every wash. I am still not wanting to
spend more than my limit (RM60 per purchase). I bought third party
wax, carpet cleaners, everything.

Soon, I realized even with great care (two buckets system, etc), I
cannot prevent minor swirls from making their appearance on the paint.
I started reading on the web and found out about Meguiar's NXT Tech
Wax 2.0 which is said to be a good synthetic wax which can help
removing minor swirl.

I went to Eunos 1Utama to look for it. Boy, RM128 is definitely not
cheap for a can of wax. But I quickly remind myself about my Perdana
leather seats. I didn't think it was cheap when I first purchased it,
but it delivers back what I paid for. I bought the NXT Tech Wax 2.0
Paste together with Meguiar's Quick Detailer for claying compound.

It didn't take me long to complete the Ipsum. I wash, clay the
paintwork and apply a layer of NXT 2.0.

I am really satisfied with the result. The black is now deeper, and
free from minor swirls.

The Ipsum looks exactly like when it first came out from the Garage
except a better looking alloys because I have clayed it!

Now, I'm waiting for the free Meguiar's Ultimate Wipe microfibre
detailing cloths, hopefully.
