Mothers Pure Carnuba.

Found some at a reduced price, and since we finally have warmer weather i decided its time to give her some new fresh wax after the winter.

This stuff is very very nice.
the gloss is deep, and the wax is so smooth and soft you can feel it coating your paint under your fingers.

Oh, and i could sit there sniffing this **** for HOURS lol

anyway. results

looks awesome. I just bought a orbital buffer and used the same wax today on my SS. It's sick how well the swirls come out and the shine is just amazing.

yeah
thanks for the comments guys.

Unfortunately i have about 100 yards of gravel back alley to get to my garage.
and it drives me crazy.

I actually do have tire shine on....but the gunk i pick up from the alley ruins it :/

Not sure. i think wax is wax basically....
that liquid stuff is really nice. easy to apply, but it doesnt last long ....
but what you could do is wash your car with a mild dish soap, which will strip your car back to the clearcoat.
then you can build up with the wax of your choice.

see i heard it was the other way around with liquids lasting alot longer than pastes but pastes being superior in quality of shine and reflection

I love the liquids for a quick easy shine. but within a week your car will need it again.
At least thats my experience with both eagle one nano, and turtle wax ice.
both great products....and i will use eagle one when i just feel like doing a 45 minute quick shine.

but i find if you want a long lasting protective shine, you need to put in the elbow time and go with a true solid wax.

not to high jack but i did the same thing on saturday. I started out by claying the spots that were not smooth. Then busted out the random orbiter buffer and applied mothers pure carnuba cleaner wax. After that i applied mothers top coat. Looked ****. I also waxed the rims. Cameras not working so i have no pics to post but just another way to do it. That random orbital buffer works wonders.

Anomalous i know this is a little off topic...but since you are the projector aiming man....i have a quick question. When following your video on how to aim the lights you never really mentioned how the beam of BOTH lights are supposed to look like. So i drew up a quick little picture and wanted to know if it is possed to look like A or B...lol

so here is the picture....don't laugh guys lol
