First time using Meg's Ultimate Wash, I must say it's MUCH better than their cheaper deep crystal stuff. Great suds and wonderful shine just from washing. I followed that up with some Meg's #26 yellow wax over the week old layers of BFWD and Purple Haze pro. Snapped a few pics after washing and then after waxing. I did forget my good camera at home so the Iphone pics it is.

Your phone still has a blurry smudge on the left side. It's in every picture.


Looks good tho. My personal favorite for washing is Chemical Guys purple extreme body wash & synthetic wax/gloss enhancer. Gallon size FTW!

looking good,every time i see a dark colored car its more motivation to repaint my car. as mike phillips says white is a boring color for a car, and it really is cant tell that i spend hours a week on my finish... guessing the background is the water treatment facility? looks like the one ive been to before.

New iphone 4 is on order this week. This old Iphone 3 has been opened up so many times I'm surprised the camera still works lol. Besides, the blurrier it is, the less imperfections you can see :)

Looks great, did you use anything of the tires?

I gotta ask, what is a "chilly" day in FL? I just washed/spray waxed my car at 33 degrees the other day and thought my fingers might fall off :) .

Yes that's one quick swipe of Meg's Hot Shine spray applied by sponge. It dried to a matte finish which is fine with me. I believe it was about 55 yesterday maybe but the wind was blowing up around 15-20 mph so it felt like the 30's with wind chill.

Here's another pic taken today with a better camera
