Default Waxed Black Cherry and Clutch the dog....

Just waxed GS430 Black Cherry. Usually use a liquid wax called Wax Shop but it's getting harder and harder to find. So I went with Meguairs Gold Class. Nice if I must say myself. Let me know what you all think. I am hope I post the picture correctly. Oh And that's the Mrs. CLK. Can't wash my car without doing hers. That's my dog clutch, retired customs narcotics dog. And no that is not coke around his nose, he just getting old. (Too Much Family Guy). So what do you all think??? Wheels is coming after the wedding and house. She is thinking of trading the MB in for a GS 430.

Thanks Guys, DIY Mod. I saw them on a SC430 at the dealership.. Asked about getting them. The detalil guy told me they charge $20.00 but to go on ebay cost less then a dollar. Just stick on milar I think. Always get stopped by other lexus owner asking about where to get them. Cheap mod but effective. Getting them centered was hard.

That's a great color you have there Good wax job, don't forget to wax your rims because it makes it harder for brake dust to stick to your wheels

I used to use Super Glaze by the Wax Shop. It's a decent wax if you don't want to put too much work into detailing your car because it has chemical solvents in it that cleans off bugs and tar from paint. I would think it's not layerable because of the solvents in it, which would clean up any layers of wax underneath it.

Gold Class is a pretty good wax, I've heard a lot of good things about it, and from the pictures you posted, I would agree.
