Today is said to be the last nice day of the season, before it gets cold and snowy next week sometime.
I have already been preparing for winter the past few weeks, so I already had 3 coats of UPP on the car, put on over the course of a 3 day weekend (which was 2 weeks ago).
So today I washed it twice with a little creation I came up with...Suds, AS Wash, and Wolfgang for the first wash, and then Lanes Wash & Shine and AS Wash on the second round. Dried with a Absorber.
Then I put a coat of AS Liquid Wax on, followed by a coat of Moose Wax (which ROCKS, btw), followed by a wipe down with Race Glaze Gloss Highlighter.
The wheel wells were sprayed generously with More Shine Less Time and the tires were done with Black Magic Tire Foam.
Lastly, the exhaust can was AIO`ed, and thats it at this point.
I kinda felt like taking the PC out (btw, all work was done by hand), but I figured I would be out there all day trying to make everything PERFECT-and I have other things to do today! (you can see in the hood shot that there are some chips and such).
I need to get a boars hair brush as well, because I am now starting to get some buildup around the side moldings and under the mirrors and taillights.
In other words, next spring I will have my work cut out for me!!!!! :eek: :cool:
Here are the pics...lemme know what you think!
