sadly yeah....
I would rather attend meetings for 3 hours in a day and get something done the other 5 hours....rather than attend meeting 6 hours in a day and be like "fuck am tired, time to go home"

PS, yeah, I headed home at 4pm. Had to address this fkn nice set of hologramming I put up and down the side and fenders of the car. FK, I guess I hadn't prepped the white pad for the rotary enough prior to using it. Got the PC with a white pad and M205 and bam, she looking good again!
Another layer of Wolfgang, of course, since I stripped it to correct.
PS, those intakes are FKN SERIOUS. Paul is a beast of a welder, not pretty, but man, looks like it gets the job done.

^The part I am weak at...taking care of the body
All I know is, clay+polish+paste
And I use Meguiars
but I am ok with inside, since I always clean it
Still use Meguiars
I wash the car once at least in 2 weeks but don't use polish, paste those stuff
Car being ASM makes it look clean, may be that pushes me away
but will start taking care of it, body is not smooth anymore
Don't even know the last time I did clay+polish+paste

Yea, Paul is just like me, function over form. I don't care if the welds on my headers or manifold look messy. I want them to last.

Well, I wasn't knocking it, it looks beefy as fk, that's for sure. Interesting approach too. 
Tyler, fine, bring her down!
MEKO...yeah brother, I know it...I keep wife's car clean with minimal effort. Most times I barely even have to dry it completely and it looks brand new. I'd say this for cleaning cars:
Black doesn't look dirtiest, if polished it reflects THROUGH the Dirt but shows swirls
White looks dirty cause you can always see the dirt and rain on it but no swirls, hard to see where you've polished or haven't.
Silver, perfect, can't see swirls or dirty.

Well Jeremy, I've been watching for UPS all day-nothing yet.
Hey, I'm wondering if the Wolfgang's will do as much for my metallic finish as it did for your NBP.

You guys ALL TRIED IT already?
Honestly, I've been a Zaino guy since I've owned this car (almost) and I do stand by my feelings on the Wolfgang stuff...I've NEVER found anything that goes on as easy, comes off as easy, and leaves a deeper and shinier gloss.

Just my luck-today was in the mid 60's for temperature. After today, in the 40's. Now I don't know when I can get this put to good use.

I like the Blackfire stuff too.
Anil, maybe we should get together on Sunday and detail both cars. I don't have to play a hockey game on Sunday either-we have the day off, so I've got the entire day to try this Wolfgang's stuff out.
I bought the Wolfgang's strictly on Jeremy's endorsement.

...the pressure...
it's starting to get to me.
I don't THINK you will be disappointed, Steven. I DO stand by these sets of facts. I spend too much money on different polishes and sealants. After trying so many, I've found that I have zero regrets with spending $40 on this Wolfgang stuff. Today, I drove around running errands and I've gotten nothing but incredulous looks at my car...maybe because of the rims or the drop...but maybe because the finish is fkn glowing and slick and shiny and showing off the blue pearl. I regret NOT having bought the Wolfgang stuff.
It goes on and off easier than anything I've tried and more importantly, it makes the car look like it's dripping wet.
I read this on Autogeek's website after buying it...and it makes sense.

I might do 50/50 of the wolfgang and blackfire wet diamond, just to compare the differences....

No pressure, J....I'm just like you. I spend too much on this kind of stuff as well. I've gone from Zaino to Dodo Juice to Blackfire to Griot's Garage to Wolfgangs-so don't feel bad.
I'm anxious to try this.....TOMORROW! Anil is coming over too. It's supposed to be 55 and partly cloudy. So we'll see how this stuff does on a metallic finish.
And yes, I'll try to get some good pictures.

You are going to love it Q.
And I'm looking forward to more pictures with this Wolfgang stuff. Might have to be an off season purchase to be used as soon as its warm again. Not that I've ever paid for a hand wax, but those cost $40 typically. So $40 for some Wolfgang that will last 8 jobs doesn't even seem that bad when you put it in that perspective.
