I detailed the car not so long ago, about 14 days I think.

Here is the thread:

So, it was time for some souveran past wax! When I detailed it, I used megs #21 as LSP. And now the souveran is comming on. I think the car came out good, and WET! Red and wet :p I first laid a layer souveran paste wax, then Souveran spray wax.

Tried Optimum tire shine for the first time today. I think it was a good tire dressing, not as glossy like dp tire gloss, but more matt! I love both. Take a look at the pics ;)


Wash:






Washed optimum car shampoo and two buckets- Witj tje LC mitt
Wheels washed with poorboys spray and rinse
Optimum tire shine



Paint:


Souveran paste wax
Souveran spray wax.

The tires still beads water after the dp tire gloss. 14 days ago:

Used cobra flex tire dresser with the optimum tire shine. Worked great!

What did you do to the wheels? First pic looked like they were chipped. The second pic looked perfect.

Best looking beater EVER! What wheels are those? OEM VW? Love 'em! I wonder what the beading looks like on the Souveran.

How long does that stuff last?
