Nice! Great color too. Looks crisp, cool, and wet!

The car looks amazing...and that color! Wow...! Congrats guys.

I'm really a sucker for those dark paints that explode with a brighter color under certain lighting conditions.

I have to say I'm pretty happy to hear of the results for this car. I'll be calling the owner and the builder today and also sending them the link to this thread.

Just a few minutes ago I shared something in another thread that I'm going to post here too because it's unique in my experience in this industry.

Here's the post


Jeweling Wax - Definition - Post #40


Here's the pertinent portion....

For the record....

In my entire life in the car detailing world I've never met another educated, seasoned professional detailer that has used a cleaner/wax as their FINAL LSP for a show car the day before the car is put on display.

Never.

Like I wrote already... cleaner/waxes are great. Hell I teach how to use a cleaner/wax in my 3-day classes when I cover Production Detailing as a way to make money.

This year at Mobile Tech Expo I taught TWO classes on how to use a one-step cleaner/wax, one with the FLEX 3401 and one with the RUPES BigFoot 15 and 21. After my RUPES class Jason Rose took the time to walk over and tell me my presentation on how to use the RUPES orbital polishers with one-step cleaner waxes was great.

The big picture is this...

A product like McKee's 37 while offering the same three things all cleaner/waxes and AIO's offer, that is,

1. Cleans
2. Polishes
3. Protects

it's the fact that it's NOT heavy on the cleaning side and but super on the polishing and shining side that makes it different enough that it shouldn't be lumped into the same category as all the rest of the cleaner/waxes on the market.

Heck Nu Finish is a one-step cleaner/wax and it certainly doesn't create the deep, wet shine like you see on the 1940 Ford Coupe.

McKee's 37 Jeweling Wax isn't the end-all, be-all product it's simply an ultra fine cut polish and wax that can be used as a stand-alone cleaner/wax for very light cleaning and maintenance but it can also be used as the LSP after a dedicated compounding and polishing step like we used on this 1940 Ford Couple.

Pretty cool.

Congratulations. Beautiful job.

I remember the before photos, that car would have won the award for best swirls!! I sure hope the fact it won makes it onto the show before final edit!

Mike,

Can you give an estimation on how long the wax portion of McKee's jewelling wax will last as a stand alone LSP?

Are you able to disclose the paint color and manufacturer? How many coats of base coat and clear?
Thanks,
Bob

StephenK thanks for the link!

8-12 weeks durability. That is longer than I was expecting. Thanks again.
