Laguna Seca M3 after a week of plane exhaust

I just got my car back from the shop. $3500 worth of fixin'
I washed the car and then sprayed some Pinnacle Souveran wax booster and then felt the paint. It felt like sandpaper, so I re-read the directions on the spray wax thinking I did something wrong, then I tried again... still like sandpaper.

I busted out some Ricardo clay and went at it..... it felt like it was overspray. I then realized that they must of parked my car outside the entire week while they were working on it. The shop is right next to John Wayne airport.....

Anyways heres the process and results....

## Wash w Foam Cannon
## Synthetic QD as clay lube
Ricardo Clay
## EZ Creme Glaze

Plexus
Stoners IG

303 Protectant
Klasse AIO (wheels)
AW (wheels)

NXT metal Polish

So you didn't top EZ creame glaze with anything? That first pic is awesome by the way, it looks like your car is covered in some kind of candy coating. Reminds me of hard candy. Now polish that area behind the rear plates .

Looks great, I agree, I really like the wet look you got. Love that blue colour and you maintain it so well. Vehicle looks great.

Thank's for sharing.
