Hey, you are lucky! I got a ticket for my tint when my car was parked!
Anyhow, of course I live right by all those.. I live in Saint Charles and always take North Ave or Army Trail and so go straight through either of those. !

What products did you use ?
What products did you use ?
Mothers Clay bar (or something like that-mother something I think?), and then Meguiars Gold line for the polish and wax.
I will look later for specific names. What products do you use?

I dont have tinted plate covers but that is lame that you got pulled over.. do you have the smoked ones? I thought about getting those. I saw a new Maxima, black, with smoken ones and it looked pretty good.

For this fall/winter, I'm planning to use some of DyNA polishes, Meg's polishes and possibly a few others on different panels. LSPs will be DyNAs and Zaino Z2-Pro/Z8 on different panels.
My car has been a mutt of waxes/sealants all summer (NXT, Liquid Souveran, old Zaino, etc).
The tough part is finding time to do this.

I wonder how much a buffer costs and how much of a difference it makes?
Although it took a long time, hours and hours (no joke, 2-3 hours to claybar, then hour to polish and then another 2-3 hours to wax) but it was a lil workout. So I enjoyed it

If you ever want to come on a Wed, Thurs, or Fri and its not a special event, let me know, I'll see what I can do. Take care.
For the smoke covers, it's being used as a coin collector. I know for sure I'll get pulled over with the smoke cover.

hahaha Actually I have the hook up there, already but thanks
Your boss, the manager, Cyndi... she lives across the yard from me (I live in those townhomes, Pheasant Run Trails) and her daughter, Riley (I am sure you have met) takes care of my puppy when I am at work. Cyndi is great. She always takes care of my friends and I when I go there. And special event or not, I am getting in
I will say hi to you next time I am there

I usually take 1 to 1/2 hours to clay the car. Polishing can be 1 to 3 hours (depends on what I'm doing). Waxing/sealing....about 1 to 2 hours...all depends. Some people are fast, some are slow...I'm more towards the slow side....
it really doesn't matter if you enjoy doing it.

I have the PC. It does save me some time while polishing and waxing/sealing. It also saves the arms and shoulders from doing a lot of grunt work. And helps get a very thin and even coat when I'm using something like Zaino.

Chas Elstner... check out their website...I can't post the site on here sorry.
Chas Elstner is an energetic, likable, thought provoking comedian that has an honest approach to his "on the edge" material which ranges from political humor to the observations of the absolutely absurd happenings in life. He has taken his 15 year comedy career and perfected it to a degree of sheer hysterics. Chas has the ability to captivate audiences of all ages. He has accomplished this by being a clown with Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus, an off- Broadway actor and standup comedian.
