MONEY SHOTS! On silver! At first I just used Glanz Wax and wasnt impressed, then I got the idea to top it with my Lusso and WOW I AM STUNNED! It looked so wet and the Lusso was a dream to apply/remove. Not to mention how easy Glanz was to put on by machine with blue pad! This will definitely be my new combo until i get Jetseal 109!
The beading from Glanz/Lusso combined, it was MUCH slicker than Lusso itself.


Notice how wet it looks, even on Silver.

Thanks! When is this forum going to start letting me post new threads immediately? As we all know, you cant fit a whole detail write-up in one post, so Im often left with an unfinished thread that goes invisible for days-weeks at a time...then it pops up and everyone see it unfinished! haha.

you need 10 posts

[PresdntialDtail]

I thought I had 10 already..looks like I need to start posting more then!!

[PresdntialDtail]

One more! Alright I should be good now!

[Moutee]

Nice work. Your LSP choice was definitely a winning combo.

[PresdntialDtail]

I got lucky! It was the first time using Glanz, I wanted to give it a try. The car looked really flat with only glanz, then I remembered I could top it with a caranuba wax and it really made it pop! Thanks though!
