Looks nice! Here's mines freshly polished and waxed 2 years ago before the fall season. I used a DeWalt Rotary Machine while working magic using Meguiars Mirror Glaze 205 Polish followed up by Collinite 476S Heavy Duty Wax. I need to do mines again before the weather gets too hot!

Got a question: When ever I polish and wax my vehicles, I end up with residual wax/polish white residue around the edges of everything chrome, plastic, etc. When the cars are done by a detailer, there is none of that. What am I doing wrong? Using Meguires products.

I used to spend so much time polishing and waxing and all that shebang and in the end I'd end up with imperfect edges like docsout. I got it ceramic coated and I'm not looking back.

It’s inevitable really . You could use a glass cleaner such as Autoglym Fast Glass , it easily removes any left over residue from trim etc.

Most detailers tap off the edges and other places where polish and wax will adhere. Then they just remove the tape once work is done.
