My car may never look this good again

Finally my marathon car washing weekend is over! And I must say, my car looks better than new!!

It all started on Thursday..................

Bought 4 new 100% Egyptian cotton towels, clay bar kit and 3M swirl mark remover. Got home from work, washed the car, dried it and clayed it.

Then, on Friday I washed the car again and performed the 3M swirl removal step. This left the car nearly perfect, but it still lacked that shine.

So, 7am Saturday morning I cleaned the car once with Z5 and then put on the Z1 and Z3 coat for about an hour.

I have to admit though, I feel kinda like a car pervert b/c I keep going outside to see how beautiful she looks! The finish is nearly perfect and the 3M swirl remover did wonders--I can't see any swirls now, just perfect mirror finish. It really looks like a different car now. Looks very classy.

After all is said and done, however, I think my wax rubbing arm is twice the size of the other one!

Wax on...Wax off...Daniel-san That'll keep your arms proportionate in size.

That's how I do it...keeps you from getting too tired by switching arms, allowing one to rest.

Or, you could just work out the smaller arm every night before bedtime

The 3M stuff is only for dark colored cars--it's a grey liquid. I don't know what you would use for your car, maybe Zaino's stuff.

Here's the link for the #M stuff- http://www.mmm.com/market/automotive/product3.html

You can get it at any NAPA store. Look in the Yellow Pages.
