Ok this was a 2000 Merc Mountaineer. Was in ok shape with concern to the paint. She was neglected. I think she has a little more life in her though :buffing:.

Ok now for the products used:
CG cirtus
Meg clay
XMT 360
Colly 845
S100 as a topper.
WG wheel cleaner

Before and after Photos attached. After starts at number 8. (Sorry these are the first photos I have done)

Mercury clear is almost non existent. Very hard to get any gloss, but I see you managed to squeak out some. Nice job jjj :props:

Thanks. It was good outcome. Weather was horrible. 40 and rain, most under cover. Had to use cc orange with xmt 360 light pressure. White didn't touch the swirls and ox. Thanks for reply!

Hey Flash. How do I post pics that I can write above and below? I appreciate the response. She was nothing flashy, just gave her some life back. They were happy with the outcome.

This pic speaks volumes.
The 360 is a quality product delivering results.

No mention of the tire dressing.

Was the 360/845/S100 back to back, marathon session?

They live in the mountains and this is their snow/rain/hail/hell driver. I did the three in a marathin session. I really really like the 360. I have been missing out! Believe it or not, they didn't want "fancy" tire dressing. I offered PB, pinncale and it was no go. smelled to good! I used an ole school tire foam ( i keep around for engines) I did some "magic" spreading and calmed them down a bit. I did seal the wheels with the colly 845 too.

Got an Audi A8 that requests Black Magic Tire Wet Spray only.
C6, and others that request AA Original only.
Everybody else gets Opti Tire Shine

I hear that they're good brands.
About the dumbest thing I've done, other than purchasing 3 power washers in the past two years (can only use 1 at a time) is having gallons of tire dressings.

No sling and dry to the touch is my motto...especially when dealing with maintenance.
