Exterior Detail

Dang I'm tired,

Just spent 7 hours polishing/wax etc.

Megs GC wash
Megs#80
Pink Moose Glaze ( Red & Vanilla mixed )
Poorbrother's EX-P
Soft99 Authentic Premium

It looked real nice after the EX-P but was pretty glassy, just got the Authentic Premium so I thought I give it a try.

Any thoughts?


Sorry Pic's are not that good.

Thanks

LOL, That does sound fun, although, I need it to look clean for a couple days after all that work.

Thanks,

By the way, Love the Vanilla Moose / Red Moose combo. It made the paint look very wet and deep for white....

White is pretty hard for me atleast to get good pictures of, I need the right lighting or ? that I did not have.

I don't take many photos.

May try and get a few new ones tomorrow.

I might have to give that combo a try. What ratio do you mix them at? straight 1:1? (I obviously know nothing about this company, except I've heard great reviews about their products.)

I mixed it about 60%Vanilla to 40% Red into a 12oz ketchup / polish bottle, from what I've heard the Red works very well on darker colors.

It smells great, applies and removes very easily. It also has mild abrasives to polish the paint.. It is also not supposed to discolor plastic / rubber moldings..

So far I am loving the Clearkotes products......

Looks good guys...

Just goes to show that good technique along with good products can yield a killer look.

Yep. They both look great. I just might be giving a clearkotes retailer a call sometime soon. I've heard the vanilla wax is great on silver, and I'll probably give your "mixed drink" a try.
