I ended up going with the JBSPEED flat AMG badge. I personally love how it looks. Just a little different from the stock look.

+1 on the Menzerna products, they've worked great for me so far but what wax are you gents using cos I need the effects of my labor to last much longer than they currently are.

My current process is SIP==>P085RD==>106==>Powerlock then avoid moisture for at least 48 hours and car looks clean and feels slippery as heck and totally swirl free..

Very Nice! I was looking at this one, and the other AMG one, from the other vendor (kind-of chromed AMG look--thought of painting the "AMG" lettering black on that one)...any chance you can take a closeup shot of it on your hood? Thanks!

I use Menzerna too with a Metabo rotary. I prefer the IP or 85 with a stronger pad when needed, they don't "powder" and clean up is easy

Always clay before you polish......try a glaze with the PC before you wax, incredible gloss for amateurs like us.

Good results with this wax: http://www.swissvax.us/merchant.mvc?...ory_Code=WAXES
