Default Sunshiny pics after her first bath and hand wax!

Just a few picks here at my photobucket of her after her first in-dept wash and hand waxing. I used mcguire's (spelling?) pro series glassy-coat whatchamacallit in the black bottle, it did a superb job but took some elbow grease! If the link doesn't work just click it again. It seams like it's hit or miss sometimes.

Thanks for the pix. That was my experience with Meguiar's products, need elbow grease.

Nice pics

You should try Meguiar NXT (the next generations) products. A lot easier to use and less elbow grease involved with better results. I heard the gold class products are pretty good too.

Actually the gold class is apparently what I got (just checked the bottle). Just had to buff it really good to get it nice and clean without any streaks.

Ditto that. I been using it for years. I can wax the SLK in one hour and it looks fantastic afterwards.
