CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MEGUIAR'S
SHINING STARS CONTEST WINNERS!

Talk about Car Crazy, 3 of our Car Craziest Customers show off their Shining Stars! Meguiar's would like to congratulate the latest winners of our Shining Stars Contest. We're delighted to award the winner a Meguiar's CENTENNIAL COLLECTION in recognition of their achievements.

Winner - Classic Car:  J. Nelson of California.


This is my first car and my Dad and I built it together. It took us a year and nine months to take it from looking really bad with a berry bush growing over half of it to what you see here. We did all of the work on the ground up restoration ourselves, except shooting the paint. It was finished in April 2001, my senior year of high school, and has been my daily driver ever since.

I think my favorite product is Meguiar's Quik Clay Detailing System. We were getting it ready to go to a big Mustang show recently and the car needed a good cleaning after 2 ½ years of daily driving. My Dad decided that after washing we should try Quik Clay for the first time. Wow what a difference! It really does remove the built up road grime and make the paint as smooth as glass. It also made the polish and wax go on and off a lot easier. The paint looked as good as it ever had, even after 2 ½ years of sun and rain and school parking lots. So good, that the day of the show it was picked as one of twelve Mustangs to stay around and be used for pictures for a calendar. We were also asked to bring it back the next day for a magazine photo shoot. I know using Meguiar's helped it stand out and has helped make it last. That makes it so I can drive it every day and still win trophies.

The first thing you see on a car is the paint and how you take care of it makes all the difference. I always get a lot of compliments on the paint and it is not even a very expensive paint job. There are two "I will never" things when it comes to my car, I will never sell it and I will never us anything but Meguiar's.

Runner Up - Classic Car:  J. Jones of Oregon.


Little did I know when I completed my first black car, a 1955 Buick Special, the work to maintain the car's appearance would be as big of a learning curve. I swore I would never own another black car. Then I learned how to maintain my car to a Concours level using Meguiar's products. I was impressed by how much easier it was and how much better the car appearance was. Now I use only Meguiar's products like Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner, Endurance Tire Protectant, Gold Class Instant Wheel Cleaner, Fine Cut Paint Cleaner #2, Machine Glaze #5 and Hi-Tech Yellow Wax #26. Now my next car probably will be black. Thanks Meguiar's!

Winner - Late Model Car:  T. Eberly of Penn.


Since buying my 2004 Honda Pilot and receiving my personalized car care Rx, I have maintained its showroom appearance with a variety of Meguiar's products. I absolutely love the way the Nighthawk Black Pearl finish shines after washing with Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner, polishing with Meguiar's Show Car Glaze #7, and waxing with Meguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax #26. Using these products as prescribed gives the finish a mirror-like shine. Between washings, I use Meguiar's Quik Detailer to maintain the shine. All of your products are very easy to use and they help keep my Honda looking brilliant. My favorite Meguiar's product is the Quik Detailer. It makes maintaining the shine on my Honda a snap and gives it a detailed look everyday. After using your wonderful products, the finish on my Pilot looks like soaking wet glass. Thank you for all of your car care products that help to keep my 2004 Honda Pilot's finish looking like a "shining star" all the time.

Runner Up - Late Model Car:  F. Givens of Missouri.


This is my son Shawn and his 2001 Trans Am/Ram Air. He is one of your Car Craziest Customers. If it doesn't say Meguiar's on it, it doesn't touch his car. From the inside to the outside it's all Meguiar's. He uses the Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner first, the Deep Crystal System Polish, and finishes up with the Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax. His car always looks brand new thanks to his hard work and your amazing products.

All of us at Meguiar's would like to congratulate the latest winners in our Shining Stars Contest. Their dedication to perfection is easy to see. We're delighted to award a Meguiar's CENTENNIAL COLLECTION to the winner and a package of selected Meguiar's products to each of the finalists in recognition of their achievements.
