 |
|
Just worked on the wifes 06' (driven 60+ miles daily) to get it ready for some shows (been to busy this year and havent detailed it properly until now) Lots of those micro scratches in the paint that show up under sun or bright light. Did my usual wash then clay.
Started out with Meguiar's swirlX but wasn't getting them out and finally moved to M105 using my G110V2 DA. Protected the finish with my favorite wax HD Poxy. Haven't done the wheel/tires/trim yet though.
Video of the first time i used the HD Poxy wax last year showing how it sheets water

looks great! 
I gave mine a quick wash yesterday for the first time in 8-9 months!  I hardly drive it so I have no motivation to wash it frequently...
