Thanks a lot guys!! It means a lot coming from youz! I'm pooped, beat and dragging!! Took me 2 attempts to finally get it to where I'm satisfied. 1st attempt took me almost 8 hours. 8 hours and almost done.
Saturday, I washed and waxed my wife's car in the morning. After lunch, I started on the Explorer. Took me almost 5 hrs to complete the right side and top it off with Natty's. Sunday it took me a little over 5 hrs to complete the back, left side, and hood. I had to re-wet the pad with QD because the XMT was flashing too soon (thanks to tips in the forum). The left side was exposed to the sun.
Love that XMT. Even after the XMT3, it was smooooth! Seemed LSP ready, but I remembered the "jeweling" effect of XMT1 that's stressed alot, especially by KillrWheels. I think that brought out the shine even more. To me, there's a big diffence between the 1st attempt and the final one.

supercharged Very nice job. By the way, you did not mention, what did you use on tires?
I used PB BnB on the tires. Sprayed it on, scrubbed the tires, and wiped it down. Later, I applied a 2nd coat and wiped it down. Brought a nice sheen to the tires. Not too shiney.
All products used were from AG. The only non-AG product was an old bottle of STP Son-of-a-Gun that I used on the wheel wells.
Once again, Thanks a lot guys for the compliments!!
