two weeks ago, when my holidays beguns to run, I detailed my car. Its a Opel (german part of GM) Astra, built in 2006. the car had a few very fine swirls and some different waxes and sealants. So the target I had was to create a deep mirror like gloss and so on.
After washing, claying with pinnacle ultra clay (great) and drying I did one work with Meguiars #82 and my Rotex-DA. After that all the swirls were gone and the paint was ready for Meguiars #7 and two coats of Meguiars #21. Finally I made one coat of Meguiars #16 on the paint. So I got a brilliant, high gloss shine and I was very happy. But the biggest surprise came by washing the car one week later. There was such soft touch while washing and drying (watermagnet) I have never felt before, never!
Extremely smooth, mirror like paint, all the water after the washing was going down. With all the years of detailing Ive never felt that before. The #21 is now one of my all time favorites. Its just one of the best for me.

Yes and thank you. I choose the color, because black is much more difficult to detail and there are always scratches. So this color called "Metro" changes between grey and blue during the light of the sun or in the night.
