Getting it ready for a show. Trying a different wax. So far I'm liking how it's coming out.

C_ulater- man that really pops! What are you using? The best I've found for my truck so far is detailers pride poli-coat sealant topped with pinnacle ssII. But that looks great!

I use Adam's Polishes products. I polished it first with Fine Machine Polish. The wax I'm trying is their Machine Super Wax. Use a polisher to apply it and let sit for 20 minutes before removing. Then wipe it down again after a 12 hour cure time. It has a nice wet look to it.
