Washed pop`s ride even though there is rain in the forecast. Rinseless washed with McKee`s 37 N-914 followed by CarPro Ech2o QD mix. The car has Gloss Coat as the base layer protection. Been liking ech2o over gloss coat. Really makes the paint pop.

Also playing around with watermarking my photos.

Also tried out OPT metal polish on these chrome exhaust pieces.

Got my GQ Chev. Malibu ready for a 400 mile trip this weekend.
(Mom`s funeral)
Rinseless wash with WG Uber, which was great, but the best was
my drying aid, Rupes P808 sealant mixed 1:1 W/distilled.

Paint was super smooth, P808 went on as a light spritz,
buffed and dried fast, no grab or streaks. Very happy.

400 miles, no dirt stuck. My car gets dirtier
just sitting in the underground garage. Very happy

How does the SONUS MOTOR KOTE hold up in the wheel wells? Only drawback I can see is that it would take a lot of product. The bottle is not that big to begin with. All I use on the motor now. Great product.

not perfect but after trying different pads thats the best I can do for a 1 step

f owning pitch black! lol

what worked as 2 step on my metallic black challenger paint did Not work here on this pitch black challenger so reverted to an old friendly pad as last ditch effort in hopes of a decent result for a 1 step since this paint would not finish right

still some deep marks in there but much better

it`s tough for me to leave them but he didn`t pay for perfect paint and couldnt find a pad that primer would clear up compound haze on this paint with

corrected it for you

primer as a one step is not gonna happen on the hood roof and trunk so I`m still working that out

i can keep the car as long as i need but primer has to be topped within 6 hours so I need to get after it, haha

Car looks great! I`m very sorry about the reason for the trip. My condolences.

512, looks awesome, please let us know how was the cosmic v2 which is a coating vs. wipe on and then wipe off, I`m guessing it should be less high spots and less work looking for them, the combo you are using is something I would like to do, looking forward to your advise and experience
