Thanks! This was like 2.5 hours of work. But the reflection is perfect right now...

I didnt this year. I clay barred last June or July....I have heard not to clay bar too often. And considering how the paint looked after my first post winter wash a few weeks ago, I probably won't clay bar again til next spring

That looks like it did a very nice job. I need to polish mine.

are there dyes in this wax?

Looks good, 2.5 hrs you are fast, took me 12 last time. But I claybar, power polish, and carnauba every time. If you don't clay you will be rubbing the grit into the paint. The clay picks up the muck stuck to your paint. :thumb:

I'm looking for a new wax. The air here is always full of dirt, really fine grain stuff that makes talcum powder seem like gravel. The car will look clean, but after a light drizzle there's a leopardskin pattern of brown. The NXT 2.0 I use seems to act like glue.

I've been happy with the seal this gets, might be worth a try. :twothumbs:

X 2 on the Griot's wax, mile deep shine and long lasting too.
