Well the wife gave me a hard time about her car not looking as good as mine. Says that if her car wasn't done by the end of this weekend that she would divorce me and tell me to marry my car. (HAHAHAHA)
The process was:
1. Wash with meguiar's deep crystal soap
2. Clay ( forgot the name of the clay)
3. Wash again
4. Wolfgang total swirl remover with green edge 2000 pad
5. Optium polish with blue edge 2000 pad
6. Pinnacle soveran by hand
7. Armoral Gel on tires (just wanted to try it out)

Please tell me what you think, be honest.

then I scrolled down and seen you actually did her car.......:nutkick :rofl
ahahahahahaha
Just messing with you!!!
Looks great!!!!!!!

Those wheels look very very wet. Did the product sling off? Greasy? How did you apply it?
 
Those wheel wells are amazingly clean! The tires are too glossy for my liking so now I won't have to try the AA now. Very clear and crisp reflections you have going on there. Hopefully the wife is happy!
 
Great jOB! Love the flake, and it looks like i could eat off those wheelwells.

Good to see that photobucket worked for ya!

Yea.....I think mega-uber shine like that looks good on low profile tires.
 
Dam, just how many miles is this SUV have? The wheel well, it looks like it just road off from the Kia plant.
 
Great job on the vehicle! I'm not a big fan of really shiny tires either, but that's just a personal preference. Hopefully you'll be able to fight off the divorce paperwork for a while now.
 
Thanks everyone. The wheel wells wren't bad to begin with. Just sprayed some purple power degreaser and the scrubed with a brush. I dont really like the hi gloss look of the AA but i wanted to try the gel. It didnt sling at all, but also had about 2 hours to dry and i wiped them again before she moved the car.

Only bad thing about doing her car is now she wants it clean and looking good everyday. I told her that if she wanted that, I want the divorce. HAHAHAHHAHAH :lmfao

Ditto.

It shows that you paid close attention to the wells & wheels (I hate dirty wells!!).

The metallic flake in the paint stands out too. Nice job!
