    First ever test spot for polish/wax...

    Ok guys, first time doing a polish and wax on my jeep. I'll say this it definitely helped alot. Its not your ordinary style test spot cause it was so damn hot out I did it without taping anything up to show the 50/50.
    Side test shot before-


    After-


    Alittle test of the wax after I did a small spot, you can tell where the wax is. (under the window)


    Now for some odd reason, it may just be me but I wanna make sure, the paint on the side didnt seem as.... BlacK? I dont know it just seemed alitte dusty? But it wasnt? I'm not sure.

    What do you guys think, I'm gonna be doing the whole car this weekend probably so I'll update this asap!

    Sorry, didnt realize I forgot those-
    Meg's ultimate polish
    Megs gold class liquid wax
    2 microfiber pads because I wasnt sure on how the paint was since part of the jeep has been repainted I wanted to be safe.
    and of course a microfiber to wipe it all clean.

    Looks like you may need to finish with a foam finishing pad to clear things up even more. Hard to tell from those pics though.

    Yea, I have a foam pad that came with the wax, I didnt wanna use it for the test just cause I knew I wouldnt be doing the whole car that day. I'm saving it for monday when the whole car gets done.

    So instead of a microfiber pad for the wax I should use the foam that came with it?
