Update on my weekly Carbon black 05 M3

I never see this car outside and I wanted to see how it was holding up. It gets washed with QEW and a coat of wax every week. sometimes twice a week like this week. (tuesday & today due to a storm tuesday night as he was driving home). Trying to keep it swirl free.

Today I used FX100 from FK1 on it and it definately made the paint darker. Extremely slick. I couldn't tell you how many coats of wax it has on it. The last one was P21s which looked awsome on it. Gave it the typical carnuba look - warm and glossy. FX100 made it shiny being a polimer sealant. I took a full body picture but looks like sh..t due to lack of light.

The lens is about 3" from the paint.

Whole car shots?

After I polish out my car, the next 5-6 times I wash it, I add another layer of whatever carnauba I am in the mood for. After all those coats, the paint looks miles deep. I imagine that is how this car looks too.
