Default back from the beauty salon (pics)

Yup. I was in the urge to give my Z it's first wax since I bought it so I went out and bought some S100 from a local Harley Davidson dealership/store. I first washed it down with NXT car wash, and applied a thick coat of S100. This stuff is amazing! I've read about it a long time ago but never went around to purchasing any until now. 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.

WOW! How much does a jar of that cost? I noticed it said no powder residue, that is one thing I don't like about my NXT paste tech wax. It leaves crap every where to be dusted off and falls into the crevices and sticks to rubber. Your results are astonishing!

Thanks. I picked it up for $14.95. Call around to your local motorcycle shops. Most Harley Davidson places will carry it, not sure about sport bikes.

come back in a couple of weeks and let me know if that shine is still there.

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.

The car is Daytona Blue and I'm not sure how long the wax will last.

EnthuZiast, the wheels are gunmetal 19x8.5/9.5 Volk GT7's.

I'll try and get more pics today since it was dark last night when I took those.
