As of July 30, it`s official that I`ve been in the Synthetic route for 8 months now...
So...
This morning (i had space in the shop this morning)
I washed, then Mother`s Step 1 Cleaner, Klasse AIO, Meg #7, S100 route...
This happened...

Boy I missed the deep look of waxes and glazes... There`s always something "missing" when I used Eagle One, SG, Fusso, Zaino, etc...
Oh well... I like this route better than a fully synthetic route...

Sweet! Although the car didn`t stay "fresh", there is nothing like seeing a gazillion tiny water beads on a freshly detailed finish!

I fail to see the problem.....All looks great to me ! "cept the rain....and thats forever a losing battle.......
Wow, sweet pics! :xyxthumbs
I hate to rain on your parade (looks like that was done already :D) but #7 probably removed any protection AIO left. Unless you were just using AIO for prep of course. ;)
Some waxes will actually soak up the rain a couple of times. I have washed,dryed and applied fast wax or premium liquid wax and gone out the same or next day in the rain and the water simply dries up leaving no marks.

Don`t you just hate that? Seems like whenever I do a good w&w on my truck the rain gods just have to come by a day or two later.:grrr

An immaculate car still looks great no matter what the weather is, with the possible exception of heavy snow

I feel for ya`. It`s been my experience that when the weather guessers forecast isolated thunderstorms, that means isolated to exactly where I am working that day. :mad:

Well, our local weather forecast doesn`t need to do much. everyday it`s the same... Really hot in the morning, rain around 2-4pm then heat again till 6 or 7 then rain from 8-9 or so then dry again, that`s why most cars here are really dirty with muddy spots...
Oh well... It rained a lot yesterday and today, so business is a bit slow today... So I applied another coat of S100 hehehe.
