Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum :: View topic - Hi All from a 944 owner down South

Hello and Welcome,
What a great car these 944 are and as an owner (Also) of the fastest colour I can recommend Meguiars Ultimate Compound to get that Guards Red looking its beautiful self.
Wish you many miles of happy motoring Jeff.
Cheers Clive
ps Photos are appreciated - perhaps in the 944 Post your pride & joy here (with loads to look at) :-

Hi Jeff.Greetings from the frozen north! :shaking:

Car sounds nice.Mine is only 28 years old. :lol:

Yours must be one of the oldest in the country. :thumbup:

Hi,
Being a complete novice when it comes to polishing and waxing etc.
Do I just need to use the Meguiars or do I need something else as well ?
Cheers, Jeff

The Meguiars range will give you a very good finish. The NXT range is very easy to use.

It might be worth a look in the detailing section, most topics have been covered.

Hi all, I have an early 944 Lux in almost Guards Red (bit more polishing). As she will be 30 years old this year I am concentrating on getting all those little jobs done ready for a lot more miles this year. Not many early cars in this area only a black 944 turbo that I see on a regular basis and a red 928 which is just parked up (real shame). Cheers, Jeff

Regarding "Detailing" Thats a topic on its own, best look on Meguiars web site and perhaps a search on Car Detailing To give it the full monty you need LOADS of TIME eg Washing (Soaking, Washing, rinsing, drying!). Ultimate compound, clay bar, + 3 step Paint cleaner, paint Polish & then waxing. although they now have more modern applications which cut down on products needed. I used to spend more hours cleaning than driving my previous 944 (S2 Cab) but now just enjoy the driving & it gets cleaned if it gets too mucky!

Hi Sean, After looking at the Meguiars site I noticed they do a "restoration kit" which seems to have most things. That appears to be good enough to get it from Guards Pink to Guards Red. Then I can just drive it with the occasional wash 'n' polish.
