Thumbs up Took the time to clean, seal &... (pics added)

...wax the car yesterday and today.

Yesterday...

Step 0: Washed the car with Addict Ultimate Car Wash... sweet.

Step 1: Fine clay bar applied with care. All impurities on the paint... gone.

Step 2: Klasse All in One applied (& buffed off) twice... awesome.

Step 3: Klasse High Gloss Sealant applied (& buffed off) twice... super.

24 hour "cure" period allowed...

Today...

Step 4: P21S Concours Paste Wax applied (& buffed off), twice... amazing.

Step 5: Sprayed cold purified water on surface & buffed gently... wow.


No pictures yet. Deep deep glossy shine broke my camera's lens .

Nothing will stick to this finish for awhile. Deepest shine yet. Stoked.

Thank you Mr. Miyagi...

No Pictures = Total fail! (You just can't tease people like that and not expect trouble.)

...wasn't that I didn't want to post pics, but that I had no camera w/me after finishing the job (hence the winking eye).

2 pics added in this post. 5 pics added in first post. Peace...

...exactly opposite, as this is my daily driver. Forced to drive in the rain.

So a good seal against the elements & a periodic undercarriage wash are necessary.

I could totally relate to the rear quarter panel pic as that area sees more scratches than anywhere else.
