Sweet, think I'll have to pick me up some products

So guys, i decided to give the Chemical Guys a go - yesterday I washed the car with the Blacklight Wash, and Diablo Wheel cleaner, and today, I clayed, used the Blacklight Glaze, and the Butter Wet Wax to finish. I have to say the results are excellent. It brought back some luster, gave it a deep wet shine, and brought out the pearl - can see lots more of the blue flake. The Blacklight Glaze and Butter Wet Wax are awesome, a little goes a long way, and because you don't need much of it, it is easy to buff off once it has had time to bond (10-15 minutes). I used a DA (Dual Action Polisher - and did not apply by hand) The Blacklight Glaze did a great job in filling in small swirls and scratches, and restoring the pearl, and the Butter Wet Wax added that deep shine and luster. I felt like I really had to use more material, and also, more work with the Meguiars to get the same results - the Chem Guys was easier, went on faster, buffed off easier, and had lots more time after finishing - each stage - clay, glaze, wax - took me an hour a piece.
Definitely going to keep using their products.

thanks! been running it now 3 years, every once in a while I consider getting another one and tying in the other side, but then I think about and like the fact that i'm running that single look. there are those who love it and those who hate it - but at the end of the day - i'm not building it for them

Got some new plans for the exterior this year, and will possibly start looking to do some interior things as well - we'll see how it goes

so no pictures to post, however, I just bought a set of Type S tails off a part out car - so should be here by the end of the week. I'm going to take a hand at customizing these - opening them up and giving some personal touches - mainly blacking out/color matching the bezel, and then possibly putting CF on the lower reflector - done before, but not by me lol - i'll keep you posted.

Just got my hands on some OEM Type S Tails from a part out, some light scuffs - but in pretty good condition coming from a wrecked Type S - as stated, I think i'm going to open these up and make some changes - especially the ones that Jeremy recommended
