MONEY SHOTS! On silver! At first I just used Glanz Wax and wasnt impressed, then I got the idea to top it with my Lusso and WOW I AM STUNNED! It looked so wet and the Lusso was a dream to apply/remove. Not to mention how easy Glanz was to put on by machine with blue pad! This will definitely be my new combo until i get Jetseal 109!

The beading from Glanz/Lusso combined, it was MUCH slicker than Lusso itself.

Notice how wet it looks, even on Silver.

very nice job keep up the good work :)

[imported_sal329]

Looks great, nice work

[PresdntialDtail]

Thanks! When is this forum going to start letting me post new threads immediately? As we all know, you cant fit a whole detail write-up in one post, so Im often left with an unfinished thread that goes invisible for days-weeks at a time...then it pops up and everyone see it unfinished! haha.

[DigitalN.]

you need 10 posts :)

[PresdntialDtail]

I thought I had 10 already..looks like I need to start posting more then!!

[PresdntialDtail]

One more! Alright I should be good now! :D

[imported_Moutee]

Nice work. Your LSP choice was definitely a winning combo.

[PresdntialDtail]

I got lucky! ;) It was the first time using Glanz, I wanted to give it a try. The car looked really flat with only glanz, then I remembered I could top it with a caranuba wax and it really made it pop! Thanks though!

[Old Pirate]

Great work on the GTI, looks sweet from the pic`s Billy!:up

[PresdntialDtail]

Thanks! :D
