Nice job. Looks great.

Next time you should check out some Menzerna Products from Detailed Image. You'll love the shine.

Get your priorities straight, GiGGa... The car obviously comes before school.

turtle wax ice, ranks right around the bottom in the detailing world.

Zaino is a great sealant, gives off a reflective crisp look.

Although then there is a world of carnauba waxes, which give off a beautiful warm rich look, but come with a pricetag.

Thanks
I haven't tried Zaino yet, but is one of the products on my list that I want to try
heard good things about Zaino as well
I wanted to get my car ready for when it starts to rain and saw the Liquid clay bar at Pep boys when I went there to get the wax
it's fairly new, not exactly sure when it came out, but I thought it was worth a try.
I used the Meguira's and Mothers traditional clay bar treatment before and wanted to see how this compares, as this is a clay bar in the form of a liquid(hence the name) and I'm pleased with the results.

there is no need to spend several hundred dollars on detail product, imo. the wax itself will go away in a couple of months anyways.
