Detailed my new 2014 Black Monogram Series FRS
 
Was finally able to detail my new 2014 monogram series. Used Ultimate Polish and BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal Paint Sealant (was surprised how light & easy this was to use)

Only thing i want more is a real WET tire gel. I've always used ArmorAll Extreme Tire Gel (applied just once), but it doesnt live up to the glossy look that the car wash places use. Any Suggestions ?

For tire shine. I was the "nascar" brand. Comes in a aerosol can. Spray it on then walk away. Lasts about 3-4 days for me before the tires no longer look "wet". And the only that stuck to it was my brake dust. Pollen etc didn't stick.

Ooooooooooooh Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny!
For tire shine and plastics I use Aero 303, works the best for me. Gives it that wet look without being "wet"

Make sure whatever tire shine you go with is silicone free as the silicone based ones will dry your tires and cause it to have a brown oily build up look after time. Optimum tire gel makes a great water based tire gel that doesn't sling. Stay Fresh Car Care also has a tire shine that gives that wet look without slinging.

Thats a good point Guzic. I didnt realize that silicone dried out the tires like that. I will research the Optimum and Stay Fresh products more. Thanks again!

I am currently trying out the Stay Fresh products and will have a review up soon. So far they are working great and far exceeding my expectations. They also offer AMAZING customer service along with super competetive prices.If you have any questions feel free to PM me :)
