Just cleaned/polished/waxed

So today i just finished detailing my car and i tried some new products.
This is what i did:
1) washed/dried
2) paint cleaner (meguiars DC step 1)
3) pure polish (meguiars show car glaze #7)
4) wax (meguiars nxt 2.0 liquid)
5) windex/rainx

yup so i tried the #7 and it seriously did WONDERS! it made my paint look sooooo much glossier and i wet my pants pretty much haha
i would definitely recommend that to anyone with black paint. i found it at autozone!

No swirls!



glossy



no swirls #2!






hehe thanks for looking!

Oh my goodness, that is total hotness. What a fabulous job you did. Great depth, shine and reflection. IMHO, there is nothing better looking than a NHBP FG2 when properly waxed and detailed. 5 star rating!

Wow that looks good! I've done the same steps with similar (but different) products and my swirls did not disappear. I'll be heading to my local auto-shop to grab those!

Again, nice job!
