10 years old and looks better than new
Single stage soft black paint can really take a beating in 10 years but lucky for the runner I have OCD when it comes to keeping my baby clean

Megs 105/205 to take out the swirls
Prima Amigo for the glaze
Collinite 845 for the sealant/sometime Menzerna Powerlock
Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, Dodo Blue Velvet, or Autoglym for the top wax

The car gets washed once a week, waxed once a month and sealed every 4.









About once a month it gets beat out in the desert

That's a ton of work, but it pays off.

Nicely done! How I long to detail all my cars.....


I have an entire shelf of product ready to be used, and no time to even do one of my cars, let alone all three. It makes me sad.

It looks like Southern Arizona but the plates say Lone Star

Wow! Awesome job. My truck is silver. After claying the truck I used Wolfgang paint sealant to seal the deal. After washing it this weekend, I noticed several water spots on the roof and hood. They appear to be right around the area of the windshield washers. Any idea how to remove them? Do you use Meguires 105 or 205 or both when detailing your ride?

I use the Klasse AIO/Glaze stuff on my truck and Collinite on the boat...works well! My toy car gets the Klasse AIO and the Pinnacle Souveran Wax...
