My pics of the 330ci, Acura MDX with super exploding metallic, Carnauba Jett beads!

[Scottwax]

Okay, how about the Carnauba Jett beads first---frozen beads, that is! Took this pic on Wednesday just after it had rained with 27 degree temeratures. Fun.

A few more of mine after using Optimum's Hyper Compound and Polish, both with green Propel lite cut pads, Jeff Werkstatt's Prime using a blue Propel finishing pad and Carnauba Jett by hand.



Full sun shot-minor halo swirls appear to be gone!

After the crappy weather (freezing rain, sleet and snow) plus all that sand they put down on the roads, mine really needed cleaning. I ended up adding another coat of Carnauba Jett and topped it with Natty's Blue. Took the pics in the sun, paint definitely looks black. I am trying to get it black hole black, or Event Horizon black if you will.

Chevy 1500 Silverado. Interior only. Not too bad, typical of most truck interiors I see. Coffee spills and dust mostly.

The after pics show why interior before and afters can be tough. Clouds when I took the before shots, sun when I took the afters, which cast weird shadows in the interior, especially the carpet. Probably should have used flash when I took the pic of the back since the sun was pretty bright when I shot it. Live and learn.

2005 BMW 330ci. Posted the customer's two pics the other day. As I suspected, mine are also a little dark. The hazards of winter's early sunsets I guess.

2004 Acura MDX. I wax this MDX about 5-6 times a year. The owner runs it through a touchless or the local tunnel wash 3-6 times a week, depending on the weather. Deep polished it with Optimum and topped with Glanz Wax back in October. Truck still looked really good but since I had JW's Prime, I wanted to use Acrylic Jett on it again now that I had the whole system.

Very nice Scott...



Are you using the spray version of AJ?



Prime add anything to the finish, or just clean the paint?

I have the original version of AJ. Prime is definitely wetter looking than AIO. After just polishing the 330, the improvement in wetness and gloss was very obvious. Cleaning ability seems on par with AIO.

Wow, that BMW looks amazing. That AJ looks really great on that color. Have you gotten the chance to use AJ on white yet? If so, how did it turn out?



The MDX, I'm just speechless. That metallic flake pop is insane!



Scott, your killing my bank account. I have to resist the urge to buy the werkstatt system!



Oh, and I liked CMW more on your 626 :dance

Nice work as usual....



but that full-sun shot of your trunk lid -- I think I see some marring!!

AIO/AJ--

:LOLOL I always seem to go back to VM or RMG and CMW.



It could be the different lighting I took the pictures in. :nixweiss



CMW is definitely easier to use, CJ is definitely not sun friendly, flashes way to quickly and is hard to remove. No problems in the shade though. CJ seems to darken the paint a bit more than CMW but it isn't as liquid looking.

 

[imported_Neothin]

wow, that caddy is really white! That acrylic jett works wonders lol. Now, to find someone with a sample :lol

 

[gmblack3]

Great Job as usual Scott.



As soon as I run out of Z2pro, I'm gonna give the werkstatt system a try.

Great work as ever Scott. WOW at the MDX ... jaw dropping, depth, gloss, wetness and flake. Amazing look.

 

[mgm2003]

Wow, the BMW and MDX really stand out. Very nice.



Scott, what year is your car -how many miles? You take nice care of it.

 

[mystickid]

Scott,



The cars look stunning!



Would you reccomend JW's Prime over AIO?

 

[Scottwax]

Regular ol' Armor All, applied with a foam tire swipe.

My 626 is a 1999 and has around 119,500 miles on it. It was hideous when I bought it. As you can see, when I first polished it the car looked horrible in the sun. The rear fender is polished, the door obviously is untouched:

This was after about 20 hours total of polishing and 18 months or so passage of time. I tried to get the angle and exposure the same as the first pick. You can see the sun points are pretty much in the same place and the background shows the same level of exposure. The color of the car is now dramatically different, as in deeper, richer and blacker than the initial (by hand) polishing session.

mystickid-I think you get a somewhat wetter look using prime. I don't know if durability is any better using Prime since both it and AIO do lay down some protection as they clean. Whether or not that truly aids the durability of their respective LSPs, I have no concrete proof.

That MDX is beautiful.

 

[SilverLexus]

Those MDX shots look super-wet Scott. :bow
