See that shine? Hah, can't even tell there is a car there! That's what you call CLEAN

Here's what I did:

1) Pre-rinse the car with a mild stream, not misty, but not a jet either to get off all dirt

2) Soap car with RainX Sheeting Water Mild Soap

3) Hosed car off with a mild jet stream once again

4) Re-applied soap

5) Very gently spray a mist to get soap off and to activate the "sheeting action" (Worked better than most soaps but not all water beaded off)

6) Applied a layer of CGQ

7) Spread CGQ

8) Dried it off the car

9) Applied Meguires Wax with a buffer

10) Waited about 45 minutes to haze

11) Removed Meguires Wax with buffer

12) Dusted car with feather duster

13) Ran a toothpick into all the edges to get that white dry wax out.

**By the way, I do sell CGQ if you are interested**

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

 

CRAZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
LOL I couldn't even make out the pic!

Too much work to get that shine IMO.

 

Oh shush you.. my babies worth it

 

Absolutely Gorgeous! (I have to say that I like Butterfly's better though )

 

AWWW thanks! You made me blush.

 

lol... Just stating the facts

Your car really does looking amazing though Ricky. Wish I had the patience to do it.

 

yeah that looks sweet. u got any swirls/fine scratches on your SB?? I can't seem to get them diminish!

 

Yeah I did, but adding the wax with the buffer, then removing it with the buffer gets rid of them nicely, then adding a gloss (glossy wipes) really helped hide the swirl marks and left a nice smooth look.

Only thing I can think of that I should have done was claybar the car, there are a few little specs of dirt next to the wheels

 

Yeah.. but did you clean those wheels!!

I think your rims are probably pitted they looked so dirty last weekend

Why did you use wax over crystalguard?

I know some people use wax over a sealant for an extra deep for like show purposes.. but doesn't seem practical for normal use.


My car I'm still doing traditional polish + wax and getting plenty fine results for my tastes

 

Here is a fun one taken in the garage... the car in the reflection is actually one of my other cars... its cool when you can't really tell where the car starts and ends

 

Last weekend? Hmm.. Where was this? I can only remember seeing one other person with a SB Z and he had the track..

Anyways, yes my rims are horrible.. last night I was about 50ft from my car, and I had someone ask me what kind of rims were on my car, I said "Stock Rims", he looked from 50ft away and say "Get them powder coated?" .. I just laughed

I have a few layers of CGQ on the car, but I wanted to see how well meguires wax would do, so I put it on. In comparison, mequires added a little more shine, but then I did buff with it and not CGQ.. I'm going to be using Mequires Show car Glaze 7 soon, post pics up that soon.

 

Bigger version

Don't mind the rims

 

That's weird, it won't let me post the actual picture
