I guess I could get some on christmas if the weather permits by me.
I doubt it will show much as my paint is in decent shape as is so just washing it makes it shiny enough. But I'll do it for you <3 So ill show a pre wash, post wash, and post wet paint. Also in my experience the day after a wax, or in this case a wet paint, shows the most shine. So i'll try a pic of that as well.

I use Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Protection once a year with Chemical Guys XXX carnauba as well. 3 washes a month. Each wash I use Nanoskin Nano Shock spray as a drying agent. No water spots, great shine and I find that it actually protects the wax. With this method, my baby always has that wet glossy finish.

Yeah I wax 4 times a year and wash when ever I can. I use an assortment of products. My favorite is a hydrophobic wet polish I put on after a good wax. For the first two months after I apply it I just power wash it with soapy water at the coin wash down the street and dry. 99% of the dirt just falls off and I dry. A typical I'm between wash takes me about 10 minutes and my paint always feels like glass with soapy water on it.

Actually, I believe waxing is only required for atheistetics but I can't prove it.

Hey, I wax more often than that. If it weren't dark out I'd show you how shiny it is. I could take a picture of my own genuflection.

One quick polish and I'm pretty sure it was gone. Oh well. I used Optimum Gloss coat. It's like consumer grade Opticoat, 2 year protection. Sides and rear of the car have held up great 2 years. I notice the front bumper and hood basically need a new coat after winter. Usually I polish much of the car every spring and then reapply. Decent product. I use Optimum Car Wax. Doesn't really hold on top of the coating, but it's added security if the coating is wearing away or if I missed a spot. It's a really amazing product, and so dang easy. You can wax an entire car in 20 minutes. Waxing door jams and wheels is a breeze. I will never use paste wax again. And of course I wash with ONR maybe once a week. The paint is still beautiful after 36k miles, so the method is working for me. |
