Black is a PITA for sure!

But it looks like you polished it up real nice!

Your car is better BTW!

im excited, ill be detailing my car today with some new products.

im having a very hard time finding a pre wax/polish decent enough to use by hand. rite now tht step is done by meguirez glaze.

today will be the first time using a little higher quality carnaube wax not found in stores, we will see if it is better than that NXT i was using.
