The guru strikes again. A very nice pic. You have a knack for finding attractive angles on the Z and placing it before an interesting, industrial background.

Victor,
The 3M products can be had for ~$10 a bottle at Pep Boys.

dvlad,
I did put the wax only on the rims.

Jose,
Thanks, man. I'm pretty fanatical about wash/wax, so once you get your car, feel free to join me one evening at the car wash in Frisco and we'll do 'em up right. Beware though, I'm a detail **** and will tell you if you're doing something wrong. Just kidding. I'm not that bad. OK, maybe I am.

I must agree with everyone, you have skills! So much in fact that one of your pics is my wallpaper on my comp. I have a Performance Silverstone on order. Is there any chance you could post your pics in 800x600 format so it can fit my entire screen? If not, thats okay. Keep taking pics though, I never tire looking at them.

Very nice, but I did a double take when I first looked at the pic. I thought there was just one light and a big fat dent in the side....

Did you use the paste or liquid Perfect it show car wax? Also, how long until you will ise the glaze again? Last question...did either of the products leave a white residue like ordinary hard wax does?

Droid,

You're making me drool... 2 weeks to delivery for my Silverstone in Plano... I'm about to get my wax.. and other goodies.. I think I'll have to check this stuff out.

Did you clay the car first?



P.M. me and leave your number... we need to get together in a few weeks after my delivery.

Later,
BigZ

It's the liquid wax. I'll usually glaze a finish once every four months. Yes, the wax leaves white residue in the crevices, you just have to work a little harder.

I always forget to say. Nikon Coolpix 990. It's a great camera, but I like to think it's the guy behind the camera and not the camera itself.

Dammmmn that looks sweet! I want my Silversonte to look like that! I'm game for the detailing session as well. I just picked up the clay magic kit and still haven't decided on what wax to use. I'm hoping to do all of this the weekend after next. I've been waiting until all the dirty hands are through with my car (leather, dealership, car stereo, etc.).
