Thank you all...won 1st ever trophy

Just want to say thanks to all of you for all of the great information and feedback I have received here. I entered my first ever car show Sunday with my new PT cruiser and I received my first ever any kind of trophy. I prolly got it just for showing up but I was very proud of my car. In the 6 weeks I have had it I have put a lot of work and $ into it. There is not a swirl or micro mar in it and even though it's new it was detailed meticulously. After going through many different products I think I have found what serves me best and that I found out here. Thanks again to all of you.

Ain't it a rush when you "trophy". I won my first class entry exactly one month ago today. As you, I owe it all to what I've learned on this site.

KUDOS!

Don't keep us in suspense. What products and procedures did you use and how about a picture of the results

It's a new car so I have not had to use DACP which I wil use on my friends car next Sat. All I have used is Aerospace 303 on all the vinyl trim and in the engine compartment. On the paint which is called sea mist green or teal. I have used the NXT with p21s on top. I only wash it with megs gold class and a wool mit. I also like to sparay the E1 spray and shine after every wash. Only use microfiber anywhere on the car. When I picked it up I asked the dealer to PLEASE not wash it or clean it up. I said I would take care of it.

OK, OK, I actually don't have any yet but i'll take some tonite after work before the sun goes down showing my custom pin striping and then some after it's dark and see how the neon photographs. I put 4- 2x52, 2x30 tubes under the car + 1x30" in the grill and have 6x10" inside + 4 high quality Whelen strobes. There is also a set of dice winshield washers that are LED red and with all the green neon it makes the car look evil at nite the led's look like 2 eyes with the grill looking like a mouth. BTW i am doing a retro dice theme for the car.
