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.

Nice head lights :awesome: :awesome:Dude tell me about it, I owned a black suv and white suv at the same time, still have the white one, anybody that thinks white is easy is outta their mind. I think it's as bad or worse then my black suv lol.

Excessive - whats Collinte SDC? I have their 915 and really like it, one of the few nubas that will give flakey cars like silver a nice wet/deep look but pop flake like hell, I noticed Souv, NB kinda muted flakes. But I like that look (the muted flake), give s amuch darker appearance.

Armor All Extreme Gel rocks, I love it. I just applied a coat 3 days ago, and it stormed the last 2 days and it lost very little gloss, still looks fresh even after all the driving in the rain.

Yea I feel ya on the black and white, at least with black you can shine a light on it, do that with white and ya just blind yourself. 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!

Its 20% all around, I think the fact that the car is white makes the tint look darker.
