This is my wife's vehicle. It's 10 months old, and I haven't used the PC on it yet. Weekly washes with DP 4in1 and Shmitt. I decided to use my recently purchased Collinite 845 and Pinnacle Crystal Mist (original formula).
Wash: DP 4in1 and Wash Shmitt.
Clay: Mother's Yellow clay and DP 4in1 for lube.
Tires: Just wiped them down since I'm seeing how long the Armor-All Fierce Shine foam will hold up. 1 week so far.
Collinite 845: Applied with red CCS applicator pad. I love this pad. It doesn't soak up the product like my other yellow applicators. Need a little more product? Just press gently on the pad and it releases some more. Used about a nickel-sized (or less) drop of 845 on the pad, and it covered the entire hood. 845 goes on really smooth. Almost looks oily, and smells a little of petroleum. Didn't bother me. Wiped off with Cobra Indigo MF after each panel. Surface was super slick.
Pinnacle Crysal Mist (original formula): Waited for about an hour, and then topped off with PCM. This is my first time trying this. All I can say is, WOW!! Why didn't I get this before???? I thought CK QuikShine was good. This PCM is GREAT!! Can't wait to get the New Formula!! 1 spray on each half of the hood, and 1 spray per panel. Spread with Cobra Jr. MF, flipped over and buffed off. It added lots of pop!! Made the paint look a little darker, and richer. I actually said, "Whoa!" out loud, after the 1st wipe!! Now why didn't any of you tell me about PCM?? :p
Anyway, took some pictures, and also did some close-ups to try to show very little swirls on a 10 month old car, even though it's only been washed with DP 4in1 and Shmitt!
