Menzerna Power Lock - 2 coats

PC and Lake Country flat pads
DI microfiber towels (starter pack) plus a few more. Good quality MF towels make a huge difference.

Ahh yes FG400 and SF4500 are my go to products, love them! This came out very nice!

Looks great! You need to do something with the wheel wells....the car looks too good for them not to be dressed.

I really need to get out and do mine. I haven't done anything with it in a year

Amazing job. How long did everything take?

Now that you pointed it out! I do need to do something, I am not sure about dressing it. Maybe I was just thinking a good cleaning

I think the same. Dressing is unnecessary.

Your car looks great!

Afraid to touch it with anything now. Pollen is horrible I guess it's wash every couple of days. Don't think a detail spray would be a good idea.

Best way to keep scratches off is always a full wash. Two buckets, foam gun, etc.

As for the wheel wells try a strong dilution of your preferred all purpose cleaner.

That was supposed to say "addressed" lol. Stupid phone

All I do is use some APC with my tire brush and they come out great

I know how you feel. I washed mine yesterday and in about 2 hours my black hood was yellow from the pollen...ugh....
