I did it all by hand but was tempted to break out my buffer.

Sorry the pics suck, it was dark when I finished so I had to take shots with a make shift duck tape tripod in a cramped garage.
Super job man .... truly amazing

yooooooooo looks awesome,


couple questions, i know you did it by hand.

1. was it hard to get all the wax off once dry? or easy as hell?
2. i noticed the wax can is small, how many jobs do you think you can get out of one can?
3. have you used it on the lips of your wheels? if so, any damage to the clear coat?

sorry for the tech questions, i'm just guessing everyone has these questions too, just no one has asked them.

thanks bro.

looks awesome.

Sang,
The removal was pretty easy. I just did one section at a time like it says to do and didn't have any problems. I believe I read that the can is good for at least 12 applications and no I haven't tried it on the wheels.

s100 is very good product...know as a beauty wax...looks stinking hot when applied...but will generally not last as long as say a Megs#16 or blitz wax...but those products have a tuf time matching the look of the s100...

side note - should still last longer than NXT...

100% not computer generated. The flourescent lighting in my garage made it look like that. But I'm glad it looks so good that you would think its fake!

a majority of waxes are great after you put them on. but drive around for a week or so and all that shine goes away quick.
S100 and P21S both have good durability for Carnauba products. I now have 4 weeks on my coat of P21S and the optical qualities are only slightly diminished.

It isn't hard to get off since per instructions you don't let this stuff dry. You put it on the panel....leave it for about a minute and then wipe it off. It comes off pretty easy.

It is a paste wax so a little goes a long way.....especially if you apply it with a PC. This wax is made for all paints including clear coated finishes so there should be no harm done to it.

Look into the finish....it has a blue tinge to it.....also look around the curves on the fender and door....you can tell it is the Daytona Blue but it does have a great reflection.

10 TIL 4- Car looks gorgeous

Do you have an alternative suggestion or are you just griping?

If you want your car to look awesome like that, you gotta put in the time and effort. He can go pimp that around until it starts to fade. What are you doing with yours?

He is exactly right, I had NXT and that stuff lasted maybe 2 weeks tops!

Nice shine though. I prefer Zaino though,
