Tried some new products

Hi Gang,
I just attended my last show of the season so I hit the old HD up with a claybar, polish with the Porter Cable and a nice wax.
I used the Mothers Claybar kit, Pre-wax cleaner (with the pc) sealer/glaze and finally a coat of the Reflections Advanced Car Wax.

I used these.........

and it looked like this. Unfortunately, there was a bit of dust flying around on the day but you get the general idea.



My Silver looks like Metalflake

The hood is good



Yours Truly. I am happy really.



Check out the reflections in the Silver



Ok, yes, I'm bragging a bit because I think it looks nice but I just wanted to show you what can be achieved with some effort on the washing and waxing.
As RP always says, there are oodles of good products out there and with a bit of care, we can all try to achieve the same standards.
This truck is my daily driver. It is kept outside, it gets rained on, I use it in the snow and it gets raced at the strip.

Good Polishing Gang

That looks great Adam. I've been looking for a wax that will bring out the metallic in my paint. Looks like I'll be trying that Reflections wax. Thanks for the pics.

It's my car club and internet forum in England.

I just use the cleaner wax on the wheels, nothing special.

Hey...I remember that site. A guy from there wanted pictures of my mom's 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon...aka the Woody Wagon.
