I'm definitely going to have to try that on mine. How does it make the SIM look? Does it make it deeper? Any pics other than the one above?

I was going to save up for the Adams kit, but this looks great.
I need to clay and polish the car first though, anyone have any good recommendations?

I just took this one. Its overcast here however if you look near the gas tank lid you will see the reflection of the mini van across the street 3 houses down.


I did the NXT wax last Wednesday and have not done anything to the car other than dust it on sunday night. It rained yesterday and it still shines like that

I am a hug meguire's fan, but prefer Mother's clay. It is softer. Along with Mother's detailer or Meg. Ultimate detailer....works great.

Just FYI to those that have a hardtime with bugs like we do down here in Texas. There is a product by Eagle One called 'Never Dull'.... It is made to restore chrome and metals of all kinds and works great for that. But one day I was suing it on my GoldWing and could not get some bugs off with anything else and tried the Never Dull....OMG!!! worked great and does not scratch.....Give it a try, it is the best bug remover I have ever used (and I am really old).....after removing bugs with Never Dull, give the paint a quick polish and wax and you are good-to-go!

I'm a TW ice guy, but I've heard great things about the NXT 2.0, and on a whim picked up a bottle at Lowes of all places. I'm not sure if I'll try it, or keep working with the ice.

As far as bugs go, I wouldn't feel comfortable using never dull on my paint (I've used it on bikes before). My tips on bugs:

1.not to sound like an ICE spokesmane, but that was pretty much all my jeep and my gf's hyundai have seen in 3 years, and there are no problems with bugs on either one. NXT 2.0 is also a polymer, and will probably work well for this as well.

2. Soak, soak, soak. When washing, I make it a point to spray the front with water first, then wash last. I will also often times wash the front once, leave it soapy, let it soak for a minute or two, then wash it again.

3. This is kind of tough to do on a car, but another trick is to wet a towel, and lay it across the bug affected area to soak the bugs. This works really good on motorcycle windshields, but I haven't really done it on a car
