Latest details™ v. Supra, FMJ beading at 4 months, red Chevy truck
I have more pics of the SL500 from the last thread-only had 3 shots on the last roll, so here are the rest. Thought you might like to see it with the top up. 
Optimum Polish with a Meguiars polishing pad, Klasse AIO with a Meguiars polishing pad, Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett by hand.
====================
1998 Toyota Supra. Only two pics for now, more on the new roll.
Pretty decent shape, the owner obviously takes excellent care of it. Optimum Polish with a Meguiars polishing pad on the hood and roof, then Klasse AIO with a Meguiars polishing pad, Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett by hand, and topped with Pinnacle Paste Glaz by hand.

Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket (aka FMJ) beading at 4 months....okay, about two days shy of 4 months actually. Still looked great and had decent slickness.
Rewaxed even though FMJ still seemed to be holding up. Just applied Collinite 845 Insulator Wax by hand. No good place to move it to catch good reflections on white but the second pic shows it better.
==============
Just thought I'd toss this in. The power of Protect All's Quick and Easy Wash (QEW) on nasty road grime and dust.

2004 Chevy 1500. Owned by the 19-year-old son of one of my customers. Regency conversion, not a great paint job---excessive orange peel and tons of overspray in the rear fenderwells. Pretty stout truck. 5.3 liter V8 5 speed, chipped, headers, cold air intake, true dual exhaust with crossover and definitely geared low. The Dad was taking it out to test drive it last week with his mechanic (not sure what is wrong) and he was in 3rd gear in the parking lot. RPM-ed pretty quickly!
Grit all over the truck so it needed some pretty substantial claying. I followed with Optimum Polish with a Meguiars polishing pad and Clearkote's Carnauba Moose with a Meguiars finishing pad. Some of the pics are with flash, some weren't. There was a van behind it and since whatever was wrong hadn't been repaired yet, I decided to leave it where it was in the warehouse. BTW, yes, that is the 44' Newell Motor Coach I wax a couple times a year.

Excellent details - once again!
Scott, I have to tell you that you are lucky to get all these cars in ""pretty decent shape"".
People who call me sure don't take care of their cars. Except tomorrow I will work on a light blue Lexus suv that has only 15 miles on it, so I shouldn't be complaining. 
I love the red truck. I saw something like that around here (look wise) from TEXAS.
BTW, the wheel looks pretty cheap for an expansive MB. The paint looks awesome!

 It seems that people will really nasty cars don't want to wait a week for an appointment...and I don't really argue with them about it either.
I have polished my fair share of turds though...  |

Very nice, too bad the flash to me, ruined the truck shots.

Beautiful!
That dropped Chevy looks stunning. Can't ever go wrong with a turbo Supra either .
