What would you like opinions on? I personally use a lot of microfiber towels and applicators in my process, but it seems like you have everything well in hand. The Mother's Clay bar works well too...I've used it many times.

I would also replace the Gold Class wax with Meguiar's new NXT tech wax, which is suppose to give the finish more shine and protection than the Gold Class wax.

well i just picked up some microfiber towels and a mothers clay bar. i was gonna get some of that new nxt wax but they didnt have ne yesterday but when i came back today they had tons of it lol. and im gonna stick with the gold class cuz i have alot left from last yr.

post some pics when you get done, i also use lots of microfiber towels and applicators.

i'd also be careful with your towel selection... you have a black car and you don't want to be causing any swirls ;)

:yup: EVERYONE can tell if you screw that up with a black car...I have spent hours on end fixing the mess I had made with cheap towels.

Looks VERY sharp, and good call on the microfiber...I won't use any other kind of towel since switching over. I've been extremely pleased with the results, and I'm guessing you have as well, and for good reason.

Don't forget to detail those wheel wells - use a little tire shine or something in there. Just a tip for that professional look.

Thanks for the tip. I need to get some more Black Magic Tire Foam (my fav) and some chrome cleaner. Any recomendations on some chrome wheel cleaner? I had armor-all but it was a waste of money. And thanks for the compliments.

my buddy uses Never Dull wadding polish on his chrome zr1's to clean them up between washings, makes his wheels look pretty good too.

My chrome wheels stay pretty clean with just washing them every week, but I do have some Mother's chrome polish just in case. As for the wheel wells, hit them with some Armor All...it will get them black in a hurry, and stay that way for a good while.
