3 days of detailing later my IP....

Started friday evening with 2 washes with mild dawn to get old wax off. Followed by Clay Magic on the entire car. I didnt polish since there really wasnt any swirls or scratches in the paint, the car really just needed a good cleaning. So full clay, followed by Mothers glaze, then a coat of Menzerna FMJ sealant. Once that was on and removed i put the car cover on and let the sealant cure over night. Saturday morning i started with the first coat of wax using Chemical guys Pete's 53' Black Signature pearl. This stuff goes on very easy and really goes a long way. Removal was just as easy and left no hazy residue or white powder after removal. I let that cure 24 hours and just finished the 2nd coat of wax (sunday). This 2nd coat really made the pearl seem to pop a lot more.

As most know, its hard to capture the brilliance in Ivory Pearl paint....but i tried my best haha.





Clouds in black roof
