Greetings.
I have an `85 911 Carrera that was purchased a little over a month ago.
Paint is in good shape.
I`m geting it ready for a car show next weekend. A small thing, really, but I want it to *POP* and look fantastic. I think it`s almost there, but it`s lacking "something"
I`ve clayed it at last twice in the last month. Washed once a week, and given a wipedown with SpeedShine and MF towel after every drive.
I`m using P21S wax on it right now, and while it looks prety good, I think it can look much better.
I`ve done some light work on it with a random orbital, but I feel my skill (and patience with it) could use a lot of improvement.
P21S advises not to let the wax dry before buffing it off. Anyone here using it have an idea of what a good time to let it sit bfore buffing would be? I`ve tried buffing after only a couple minutes, and I`ve tried letting it sit for 1/2 hour...can`t really tell a difference.
How long to let sit before adding another coat?
I tend to apply the wax using circular pattners.
Here`s the car in question, on the day of purchase. The blue one next to it is also mine (and is dirty as stink right now):o
