The SDC stands for super double coat, supposed to last up to a year, not sure about a full year, but pretty darn close, very good stuff. | I just did my wifes car and mine with Collinite 845 and I've never seen a wax bead this well! Great stuff! I want to get the #915 as well.....looks like a quality wax that lasts! |

| | | As you may have noticed my pictures are not of the highest quality, I'm not sure why I can't get them to look better, I used a 7.1 megapixel Olympus, I was wondering how many of you use a type of photoshop after you take pics to enhance them, or do guyz have any tips on how to make my pics better. Thanks. |

I just wish I would have taken a little more care of the motor and tranny, I ride that thing hard, I'm about to loose the clutch, but its fun bangin gears, even in a 4 banger, and even if it can't run at least it looks good. I'd probably kill myself if I had V8. |

Originally Posted by Excessive Detail Well after three people canceled on me last week, I wound up upset and bored, so I figured I give my ride a quick polish, cause I noticed I was starting to get very very light swirls in a few places, I guess I have not mastered swirl free maintence, the swirls were hardly noticable, but they were bugging the crap out of me. So heres what I did and used:
QD: PB Spray and Wipe Waterless wash, the car was basically cleaned, just a quick wipe down.
Clayed: Sonus Ultra Poly with a nxt/water mix, seemed to work real well and the mix had no ill effects on the clay.
Polised: Menzerna FPII, sorry AG, but I love this brand, wish AG carried it. Used an orange edge pad on 5.
Waxed: Collinite SDC, this wax is awesome, gives the look of a nuba, the feel of sealant, and the protection like no other.
Wheels: DP Wheel Glaze and Armorall Tire gel. Ardex speedy brightener for the wheelwells.
I did my entire car in about two hours, start to finish, and the finish came out perfect, no swirls, which amazed me cause I kinda rushed the ploishing. Anyway, check the pics.       
Check this pic, you can see a jet flying by in the reflection, the white line. 
AG Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Looks great! I know how hard it is to keep white swirl free (very hard to notice swirls without proper lightning).
One hint - NXT wash soap might dry out your clay bar (previously mentioned in your other post). You a real clay lube, it's worth it.
By the way, - I love those HID XENON lights!
