Porsche Carrera Aero, X5, H2

2004 Hummer H2, weekly wash customer. Last waxed in late October with Collinite 845 and freshened with Optimum Car Wax around Christmas. Paint still looked pretty good so I polished it with Werkstatt's Prime Carnauba using a white LC polishing pad and topped with Optimum Car Wax. Definitely a very wet looking combo.

2003 BMW X5. Last detailed in January (along with the Porsche) and still looked really good-he'd even just had it washed! At least this time it wasn't raining all day so I could actually pull it out and take pics this time. Werkstatt's Prime using a blue Propel finishing pad and Acrylic Jett by hand.

They look sooo clean and showroom perfect. BTW, I think that's some of the best looking tire dressing finishes I've seen here....perfectly satin.

Wow....and I swore off that brand after bad experiences with it in the 80's. I guess it's time to reconsider.

Scott: What else can be said about your work other than Amazing. I've got to try out the Prime and Acrylic Jett combo soon.

Any tips on polishing spoliers like on the porsche? Do you just do the bottom by hand, or is there some other way to do it?

Foam? Armor All or applicator? I use the regular Original Shine version. I also do the tires and fenderwells before washing (prevents protectant overspray problems on freshly waxed paint) so the dressing really evens out nicely over a couple hours time.

jdhutchin-I had to do the bottom part and some of the curved areas by hand.

Here is another shot of it out of the direct sun.
