1) Thanks...Interestingly enough the orange & black process was totally different.

2) I just washed my DD today...I have used nothing else on it and it`s still beading.
Thread -->Simoniz Glasscoat Advice<-- It`s not pretty...actually it looks like nothing.
It doesn`t have a silky smooth feel...I`d like to put something on it that "looks" good.
I have resisted the temptation to see how this stuff holds up. 7 months still beading.
The car is outside in Florida sun 24/7. I`d bet you could top it & it would still hold up.

Quite possibly. Isn`t the lug pattern the same?

Yep. You can swap on just about any GM wheel from Vettes.

Just curious, what did the 4 step process consist of??

In this case (due to the respray) the paint was extremely hard and my normal techniques didn`t make a dent is the swirls.
Started with M105 and ended with 3m Ultrafina

What a great shine,and on a re-paint. Great work on a awsome color.
