Latest details™ v.'84 Benz, Z8 over other sealant pics

2002 Jaguar S Type. Sealed with Detailer's Pride Premium Surface Shield and topped with their sealant spray about 5-6 weeks later. I've washed it with Optimum's QEW and topped with Z8 Sealant Spray the last two weeks. Seems to have a pretty nice glow, definitely slick!









===============

1984 Mercedes 280E. Original paint, owned by an older couple. Very well maintained overall. I last detailed it about 18 months ago, it only has 89,000 miles so it isn't driven very often.

It needed pretty heavy claying, turned the clay bar black! I then used Optimum Polish with a Meguiars polishing pad and topped with Collinite 845. Sorry about the half sun/half shade pics, no place to move the car quickly since they were fixin' to leave.

2005 Acura TL. Detailed the exterior over the summer using AIO and Acrylic Jett. Late July or early August. Anyway it still looked really good and had decent slickness. Optimum QEW and Z8. First time Z8 made only a slight visual improvement, just seemed a touch wetter. It seems as though AJ really holds its look for a while. Definitely slicker though.









=============

Optimum QEW and Optimum Car Wax on my car (after OP/VM/RMG/CMW the week before).

Never asked him. I'll be washing his car tomorrow, I'll see what he says.

Wow, they all look great, but YOUR CAR still looks the best!

What do you use on the tires? They look very black!

Armor All on the Jag and my car, just picked up a bottle of the Vroom protectant at Target and used it on the Mercedes and TL. Seems very similar to Meguiars Natural Shine both in color and thickness. Different scent though.
