    Pretty as a Pearl

    I was going to do a full correction etc. It was 89 degrees when I started. FL sun beating down. Decon wash and I start seeing TONS of stuff that needed correction. TOOOOOOO hot today.

    So decided to just do a wax job till it cools off a little and I have the time and energy.

    Here we go.

    Wash:
    Foamed with PB SSS + PB apc
    PB orange mitt, lake country whateveryacallit

    Tires/wheels
    Same Soaps + extra spray PB APC
    Boars brush on wheels
    Daytona bursh on wheels
    scrub brush on tires

    Rinse







    Dry:
    Leaf blower
    PB Waffle Weave with Spray and Gloss as drying aid

    Now decisions decisions.................. I think I wasted about 20 + min talking myself out of polishing today


    So:



    It doesn`t show well on white that it`s applied







    Didn`t realize it had metallic paint on mirror covers




    Starting to wipe off











    Almost done






    Gratuitous Vette pic













    Done




    Remember, this is pearlized paint so it shows a little different, and all pics were taken with cell phone.

    Oh yeah

    The paint looks nice with the flake. I have found myself wasting time choosing the products. It is more like what am I in the mood for since I have a ton of soaps, waxes, dressings, and always getting samples to try.

    I know the feeling. I should just pick something up and go with it

    Re: Pretty as a Pearl

    Love that pearl but I`m biased since my RAV4 is the same color. I also understand dealing with the temperature & humidity....which I can no longer do. Good choice on wax n` go back inside! That smart water apparently worked well.
