Newest Pictures of my car..Woo Hoo

It finally stopped raining so I washed, buffed, polished, and waxed my car this morning. It looked so good that I had to take some pictures.

What kind of wax did you use? Do you apply anything on the rims to protect from brake dust, or just clean all the time?

Here's the wax I use. The detail shop I used to work at went out of business so I took a little suvineer. It's 18 dollars at the store for the 22 oz bottles and I have a whole gallon.

For the paint or the wheels?

They are 18 Inch Eurotech wheels. I don't use any kind of protection for the wheels. They are powdercoated so I'm not really worried. I just clean them all the time.

Zymol is good as long as you don't use the cleaner wax. It is bad about leaving swirls in the clearcoat. I highly recommend those 3 step waxes. Cleaner, polish, and wax. If you try the three step process I promise you will never use just wax again. It takes a little longer but if you have a buffer the results are so much better. After doing it your paint will feel like glass.

ok i just returned that zymol cleaner wax I bought

I picked up all 3 mothers.

(phase 1) pre-wax cleaner
(phase 2) polish
(phase 3) caranuba wax

they are actually really nice smelling (especially the wax, smells like bananas) and apply on real easy...

I'm finished with half my car and i'll have some pics up when im totally done.

Tire shine. I've got tinted windows. For the front I just use the absorber while it's still damp.
