Default New Pics after full detail

Here are the pics after a full detail and 3 layers of mcguiars tech wax







Dont plan on waxing by hand again

What can I do to get it looking like those really high gloss cars at shows?




What you think of those wheels on that car?

3 layers of wax by hand?!!! You may want to invest in a porter cable for the next job

nevertheless, the hard work paid off...the car looks very, very clean and shiny

For the high gloss put a glaze underneath the wax. That will give it that great wet look

Looks good to me! Great color too - black on black. Btw, what did you put on your tires? They look super wet.

I have tried a lot of glaze, I used to like the meguiars #6 glaze or whatever # it was, but it is discontinued now. I now use the Menzerna glaze and this is far better than the Meguiars. Then I top it with a few coats of the Poorboys Nattys wax and the paint is so smooth and shiny. I never saw anything like it. I have just started using the Poorboys wax so next time I put a few coats on I will take some pics. It is superb, but I think my next wax is going to be the Pinnacle Souverign wax
