Paint sealant. Whoa!! I have got to get some of this stuff. This is impressive. The picture came from the auto Geek galleries.

 

You border on a salesman frequently...

 

Whoa man, I couldn't help posting that picture.

I guess I feel compelled with hopes I can have my truck looking like that.

Nah... not a salesman. I hate ties.

I'd still like to get some of that Wolfgang though. Problem is, I have a boat load of #20 yet. And I like it pretty well. I just don't remember ever getting a shine out of it like above. Maybe I'm using it wrong. At that time I had no idea I could actually put wax over sealant either. Meaning: I never got serious about detailing till now. This truck is the very first [brand new] vehicle I have ever owned. That said, I thank your consideration in reference to me being an overachiever.

 

I can show you photos that I've taken of vehicles after I've washed them that look as good if not better than that one... it's really all in the lighting.

 

Sure I would love to see those pictures RockPick. I do hope you can also tell what was used to achieve the shine quality.

I think he already did..

 

I'd hate to protest to knowing all the trade secrets. Sheesh, I'm glad I found this site.

 

I don't think that the pic is on here but it was from a detailer named Intel486. He's a super good guy and we still communicate to this day...

He posted a photo here at f150online several years ago and, after looking at it, I was convinced that I needed to know what he had used as the look was pretty hot.

Later in that thread, I was told that there was absolutely NOTHING on his paint and that he hadn't dealt with his paint in nearly a YEAR.

Again -- all in the lighting/angles/and approach to the photography.

 

Can you give me an idea in what Megs. product is comprable to Wolfgang or any other over the counter product?

 

Being that it's a sealant... #21 or #20. I've talked with folks who individually prefer #21 over the Wolfgang product -- and vice-versa. Further, I've read some who really had GREAT luck with the Wolfgang product -- and others who didn't.

It's just like anything else out there... everyone likes a different style of underwear. We all have opinions and bung holes. Opinions are subjective (as is my bunghole).

 

Here's a couple threads that have pics from Joe Fernandez of Superior Shine (good guy). He simply uses Meguiar's products for his details and they all turn out stunning.

Here's some more pics of exotics that he does, all with Meguiar's products.

The pinnacle of all car shows is the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, CA. It will cost you a couple hundred bucks just to be a spectator there, but this show features some one of a kind world class vehicles that you likely won't see anywhere where else in the world. Competition is fierce and money is no object to many of the owners when it comes it having a flawless finish. At this last Concours d'Elegance, I recall something like 23 out of 26 Best Of Show Class Winners used Meguiar's products.

 

Thanks, those are some amazing pics.

 

HAHA!! I'm stealing that one!!!

 

Don't tell the Zymol crowd that .. lol


As RP and qadsan have been stating .. it is all in your own opinion .. the one thing ALL of these stunning results have in common is proper prep and outstanding technique ..


btw, I love Joe's work ..

 

You leave my bunghole out of this!
