Process:

Wash with duragloss 901

Treat front bumpers with bug squash

Wheels, tires and wheel wells get AM777 APC

Bret applied Amigo on one side of the car with white LC pad PC6.

I did the other half with Danase Speed glaze white LC pad PC6.

Bret applied OS with a foam pad while I was in the house cleaning the carpet (thank god for the extractor) from lipgloss that my 3 yr old daughter applied. :sadpace:

Tires got Z-16, applied with a tire swipe on the thick side and allowed to dry.



Interior:

carpets/seats vac`d and extracted.

Bret used crazy clean (sprayaway product) on the interior and also steamed some areas.

Glass cleaned with spray away.



My thoughts on OS. Bret did apply it so I can`t comment on how it went on.



Appearance-I thought it looked nice, but I did not see a big improvement over the prepped surface. When I came out of the house after cleaning the carpet mess, I was not wow`d by OS. It did not look bad in any way. I guess from the reviews, I was expecting more of a jaw dropping result.



Slickness-It was somewhat "grabby" right after it cured, but became slicker as time went on.

Interior came out nice, a few of the stains had a nice reduction but I could not get them all the way out.

I agree with you that I was not blown away by OS on my silver car. It did look nice, kind of like when I`ve used Mothers FX on it(though FX was shinier).



However, This weekend I gave it another coat after about two weeks and it REALLY looked good. Much more gloss the 2nd time around.

Thanks for the info E90.



Also I wanted to say thanks to Mav63 for setting me up with this detail. :bow

Nice cleanup! I am hoping to also get an extractor this year.

Try OS on black. I love it more than AJT,Zaino and it even rivals RMG/Souveran.



Nice detail too! :)

Looks really good to me. Of course, I can`t look at the pics and tell how much was prep and how much was OS. ;)

Very Clean



Looks good inside.

I guess you will have to take my word for it. :laugh:

Pretty good job.

Im finally getting my Durrmaid extractor this week.. Cant wait to test it out on my kid floor mat.

Looks great Bryan. :)

Looks crisp and clean.



As an aside, I think that the Camry may be the best all around car in the world today.
