You realise now that if it continues to rain that your to blame.

The car does look sweeeet though

Just tried the 3 step approach (had a few hours and beers to kill over the xmas break)

Maguires Crystal Polish - Maguires Techwax - Meguires Canuba Yellow Wax

Worth the effort

Why are you using two different waxes?

Yeah your lucky I didnt do the windows inside.

Need the rain anyway. I dont need to worry the t is nice and dry in the garage.

Yeah mine was nice and clean in a garage until I had to drive to work in the rain.

The rain might be the only thing that saves the Aussies in the cricket though.

Because I read this somewhere so it must be true ....right?

"Detailers that prepare show cars will often layer a carnauba wax on top of a synthetic wax. The synthetic wax acts as a gloss layer, while the carnauba wax adds depth and a wet-looking appearance.

[RHR]

Yeah looks like it.

tell you what its not looking good for tomorrow. Looks like my nice clean t is gonna get all dirty with water spots..Damn rain

Try taking the photo really early or really late (low light sun) to bring out the effects of the polish.

or on a really overcast day...

otherwise the sun will reflect off the highly polished surface and wash out all the colour in the photo, giving the effects your getting there...

I can see that the paint looks mickey mouse (good) just need to capture it in teh right location.

also, somewhere where there's not too many side effects (like tree's) to come over the paint... ideally you want a blue sky or flat coloured object that covers the entire body... not half and half

Cheers,

Matt
