This is a work truck that I maintain on a weekly basis. He owns his own construction company and is actually on the road selling more than building. Because of this, he always wants his truck clean for a good impression. This weekend he was goind out of town and wanted it waxed. I was strapped for time since it was my wife`s Saturday off, so I decided to try out my new DuraGloss AquaWax. I did want a fresh slate to start with so I cleaned up the paint with XMT#2.



Well, here`s the full story....

(Sorry. No Before`s or Interiors on this one. Was in a HURRY!)





Meguiar`s NXT Car Wash

(EDGE Yellow Wash ShMitt...Was dirty....needed some cut! After, I noticed no scratching from this more abrasive ShMitt.)



XMT#2

(EDGE2K Green Cutting Pad at a #5 PC setting.)

Moved alot faster than usual. All I wanted to do was remove any wax that was there. Did this in full sunlight with no dusting and plenty of work time.



Duragloss Aquawax (AW) #951

(Applied to the panel and removed with Cobra Micro-Fiber)

I sprayed one mist per panel. 4 squirts for the hood. Again, in direct sunlight. I sprayed it on, turned my MF over, and buffed off. Way to easy....this cannot look good. Wrong! WOW! Wonderful depth and shine. Metallics popped and the finish had that just waxed feel. Plus, saved me about 30 minutes time....if not more. I will be ordering more of this for my business. Way to easy to use. I`ll let you know on the durability in two weeks.



Other Products Used....



No-Touch Tire Foam

No-Touch Tire Shine

DuraGloss #401 APC

(Diluted 4:1 to test. Worked awesome and still smelled great!)

Duragloss Absorb-It Odor Eliminator #371

(Customer is a smoker and this did a wonder on the smell. Pina Colada scented.)

Stoner`s Invisible Glass Aerosol

Meguiar`s Hyper-Dressing

(Cut 1:1 for interior use.)

Wow, great job! What did you use to clean the wheel wells (APC and brush), and what used to dress? I need mine looking like that!
