Paul, looks like you need to wax the car! Can't wait to see pics with the new wheels!

Beautiful car, OG. Looks like another gorgeous day in CA, too.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the cat looks nice and shiny as well. I'm going to grab my cat, my Porter Cable, and a bottle of Zaino and see what happens.

Addison I wnat you to try this wax and tell me what you think!

Beautiful wax job, OldGuy. I am relieved that the title of your post was not a mistake about my national origin or a joke about the proper use of butter wax.

Paul, I'll give it a shot. Although I am sold on Klasse products, I will be trying the RejeX stuff and then will get to adams after that.

Your detail work is so good, I am wondering about the pretty scathing write-up Adam's products got on autopia.org. Those guys are incredibly diligent about investigating all the different products out there. Interesting differences in the results (yours defintely speaks for itself). The link to the autopia thread is http://www.autopia.org/forums/showth...ight=adams+wax

ALex thanks for pointing that out I am gonna read it now.
I got it from a professional body shop who recommended it.
the application is so easy. Now it could have been my hard work
in the prewax phases I.E. the swirl mark remover and the 3m polish
too. But the wax part was just nice!!
Tim Since I am half hispanic I was thnkingo of trying lawn
maintenence!!

Alex I read the post(s) and they had problems with the whole kit. More with the mitt. I did not even come close to using that so that post and mine are apples and oranges. I have found a detailing process I am happy with from reading here and autopia.com and I will stick with it. Its the 1dawn wash 2.clay 3. dawn wash 4. 3M swirl mark remover for dark cars with Proter cable 7424 with yellow pads 5. 3m finishing polish with porter cable with grey pad. 6. Wax of my choice porter cable white pads in this case Adams butter wax.
the other thing they had problems with was dust collection. I live in thedesert dust is a part of my life no matter what wax I use. I would notchange my process to Adams full line. Just the butter wax. AND I use microfiber towels for all steps.

OG,

I give you permission to polish, wax my car and refinish my wheels anytime and I'll show you how to take great pictures of your car. 1st lesson grasshopper: Wake up earlier in the morning to take your photos. The sun has risen too much. Your camera has a difficult time trying to obtain good exposure when everything in the background is bright while the subject is very dark.
