Very nice Jon. Was that done with Ceramic Coat that we talked about or wax? Clay/Lexi

I actually applied wax on top of the ceramic coat. I had a can of Maguires ultimate paste wax I decided to put it on. It feels much smoother on top of the ceramic

I don't know anyone of this vintage that has the stamina for hard simoniz - even with a machine, let alone strong arm it.   I gave that up in my 20s for turtle wax, etc. period softees.   It's been a wax on wax off existence ever since just the label changes.   Marketing madness.
Looks like a bit more to go Jon S. (top and chrome?)  I still have one quarter panel that I didn't get detailed to a few years a back, so like fine wine a "good" wax job takes time.   Mine ain't so purty neither, but it's mine.   ha, HA, HAAAA!

Car finished. Used McGuires paste Ultimate. Easy hand on/hand off.
