Had an awesome 76 degree spring day in the dead of winter here in NC. In fact broke a 98 year record. I was anxious to try out my christmas present from "polish angel" so i broke out the hose and did a full wash and gave it a try. It's hard to get depth of reflection from lighter colors, but overall i am pleased with the result. I feel the color and shine are richer. I appreciate the advice and recommendation from Ronkh.

Beautiful !!!

How long after application was that? I am finding with PA stuff that it looks better the next day... But that look FANTASTIC !!!!

From the pic also it looks like you used high gloss? If you want "deeper" but not as bright, you may want to try Viking Spritz since it has some wax in it. They also make colorized wax sprays, which I never would have given a thought to till I got a bottle from a friend for Christmas. Does really nice too.

Racer X, it has been an awesome spring winter to break out your C7 masterpiece an achieve an awesome shine that you did, hope that you got some wheel time yesterday. Ours is sitting out in front of my work site right now as I type this post waiting for some more wheel time after work.

Some amazing gloss in this thread! I'm busting at the seams in anticipation of revealing "Tribute" to everyone. I'll simply say this...when there is ZERO orange peel, the resulting gloss is absolutely stunning! Only a couple of more weeks until she comes out in the open for the first time! I'm so excited!!! :D

Jeremy, anything to deal with your C7 masterpiece I know it's going to be awesome. Let's hope that the Generals new "paint facility" can claim "zero orange peel" as those C7 masterpiece's roll off the assemble line!

Nice shot 1FASTER. What are those chrome headers doing on the wall instead of the car? :)

Check out the reflective properties of the upper rear bumper cover on my Grand Sport (just try to ignore the ugly man in the reflection...LOL). :)

And thank-you sir. Interesting thing about those shots he was not encouraged or told what to do. He apparently observed me at some point and came out to the garage went right over to the micro fiber stack pulled one off and went right to the wheels and started dusting them off with his rag. Now usually when i let him into the garage he goes right for the towels and heads to the wheels for a "light dusting". Usually follows that with some saddle time on grandpa's Harley. Pretty dam cute if I do say so myself..
