The wheels and tires were very dirty. If you've never tired it before, check out SONAX Wheel Cleaner. It works great and it's SAFE.

Below you'll find the pictures showing the holograms in the paint when I took pictures OUTSIDE using bright overhead sunlight. You can also see them in this picture using the SCANGRIP Sunmatch Swirl Finder Light. The holograms are the wispy lines running vertical intermixed in the circular swirl scratches.

The paint on the Chevy Spark was in fairly good shape and the swirls buffed out quick and easy with the Pinnacle Jeweling Wax.

After applying the SONAX Polymer Net Shield or PNS, you wait about a minute and then softly wipe-off the excess.

Here's how the Mustang started out....
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler..._Stang_001.JPG
Holograms in the hood and the paint is so dull and covered in water spots it's hard to see the tree growing out of the hood?
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler..._Stang_002.JPG
When I see water spots like this it makes me never want to drink the water.... what is in the water?
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler..._Stang_003.JPG
Huge Random Isolated Deeper Scratch on the roof i.e. RIDS
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler..._Stang_004.JPG
The tires are the same color as the brake dust on the wheels!
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler..._Stang_005.JPG
Man... that's ugly, I'm pretty confident we have some wheel cleaners and tire cleaners that will make everything look brand new again...

And for those of you that may have missed this recent article I wrote about PNS, here's the link and the article...
SONAX Polymer Net Shield - Closest thing to a coating without being a coating
Anyone that's used this product knows what I'm talking about. It's about durability and how this product creates a hydrophobic surface that sheds water easily. And this is primarily what we like about ceramic paint coatings, that is they last a long time and create a hydrophobic surface that sheds water. The water shedding, that is high surface tension which cause water beading also makes the surface self-cleaning because as the water leaves the surface it takes anything else on the surface off with it, thus self-cleaning.
The thing about SONAX Polymer Net Shield is it's a lot easier to apply than most coatings and you can apply it to dang near any surface material, at least most car surface materials and by this I mean the primary surface materials found on the outside of a car, i.e. paint, glass and plastic.
It's NOT for a dirty, contaminated surface, so treat this product like a "finishing wax" or a "finishing sealant", that is the paint must first be clean and smooth to the touch, basically after you have done at least one machine polishing step after washing and claying. The apply to a small section at a time, wait about a minute and then wipe that section before moving onto a new section.
I tend to apply this to the hood, roof and trunk lid over any cleaner/wax I'm using when detailing a customer car. It's the horizontal surfaces that take the most beating from Mother Nature and also it's these surfaces that most people focus on when "looking" at a car. It's fast, only requires a small amount of product and it dramatically extends the water beading and protection of any cleaner/wax.
Here's the good news.... it's now available in a pocket-size aerosol container. This is a great way to test this product out and if you end up liking it or like many others including me, loving it, then next time you place an order with Autogeek bump up to the full size can.

Great work, and efficient too!
Re: Pictures: SONAX PNS + Pinnacle Jeweling Wax - Ford vs Chevy
It looks like the Pinnacle Jewelling Wax must have more cut than I assumed it had. It really cleaned up that black Mustang well.

WE found the paint on the Mustang to be of the soft side of "medium". Definitely wasn't hard.
Everyone was using "polishing" pads for the Jeweling Wax. No cutting pads. Dan did switch over to both a black foam finishing pad and a white and red super soft finishing and waxing pads to try to avoid micro-marring in the paint.
