Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Arlington, TX Posts: 25,603 | My pics of the 330ci, Acura MDX with super exploding metallic, Carnauba Jett beads!
Okay, how about the Carnauba Jett beads first---frozen beads, that is! Took this pic on Wednesday just after it had rained with 27 degree temeratures. Fun. 
A few more of mine after using Optimum's Hyper Compound and Polish, both with green Propel lite cut pads, Jeff Werkstatt's Prime using a blue Propel finishing pad and Carnauba Jett by hand.
Full sun shot-minor halo swirls appear to be gone!   
After the crappy weather (freezing rain, sleet and snow) plus all that sand they put down on the roads, mine really needed cleaning. I ended up adding another coat of Carnauba Jett and topped it with Natty's Blue. Took the pics in the sun, paint definitely looks black. I am trying to get it black hole black, or Event Horizon black if you will.   | |

The after pics show why interior before and afters can be tough. Clouds when I took the before shots, sun when I took the afters, which cast weird shadows in the interior, especially the carpet. Probably should have used flash when I took the pic of the back since the sun was pretty bright when I shot it. Live and learn.
Woolite/water mix to clean, dressed vinyl with Armor All, rear vinyl seats with Meguiars Interior Quick Detailer, front leather with Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner/Conditioner.  
===============
2005 BMW 330ci. Posted the customer's two pics the other day. As I suspected, mine are also a little dark. The hazards of winter's early sunsets I guess.

Are you using the spray version of AJ?
Prime add anything to the finish, or just clean the paint? | |

The MDX, I'm just speechless. That metallic flake pop is insane!
Scott, your killing my bank account. I have to resist the urge to buy the werkstatt system!
Oh, and I liked CMW more on your 626

It could be the different lighting I took the pictures in. 
CMW is definitely easier to use, CJ is definitely not sun friendly, flashes way to quickly and is hard to remove. No problems in the shade though. CJ seems to darken the paint a bit more than CMW but it isn't as liquid looking. | |

As soon as I run out of Z2pro, I'm gonna give the werkstatt system a try. | |
