2006 Acura RL. Brand new, decent shape except for some grit on the horizontal surfaces. The owner wants to talk to the dealer first about them paying for me to clay the car, so I just did a QEW wash and topped it with Zaino Z-8 Sealant Spray so the car would have at least some protection for the next few weeks. Z-8 noticably improved the wetness of the paint. Oh yeah, fresh coat of Souveran on my 626 in the background.

2005 Cadillac Escalade. Regular customer, car last polished and waxed in late August using Poorboy's PwC and Natty's Blue-then was involved in an accident at their kid's school not more than an hour later. The dealership fixed the rear bumper and driver's side rear quarter. They definitely left some problems (orange peel, swirls, overspray) that they corrected halfway decently. Paint continued to bead nicely though-they obviously left the rest of the Escalade untouched because there weren't any swirls except where they repainted, although the ice, snow and sand in mid December took its toll. The paint was still beading okay with a QEW wash but slickness was way down. I figured since the owner had just given me a very generous Christmas tip, the least I could do was toss on a coat of Optimum Car Wax since I'd rather wait until after the threat of snow/ice and sand covered streets before doing any paint correction.
Anyway, QEW wash, Optimum Car Wax. Quick, easy and nice results.
They were stunned by the results from a spray wax!
