On to the waxing now to protect the new finish.
Wax for the day is Swissvax Concorso.
While the wax was curing I cleaned the windows with my Glass Master Pro and Stoners Invisible Glass.
Dressed the tires with Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel which was applied then wiped off later for a natural finish. And I applied Poorboys Wheel Sealant to the rims to protect against brake dust and the exhaust as well.

An after pic of the rims and tires.
And Poorboys Wheel Sealant on the exhaust.
And an after pic of the exhaust.
I wiped off the wax and rolled it out to inspect it under the "light of truth".
Perfection(not really lol, there were a few deeper scratches but we got close enough)
Now the after pics and the fruits of my labour.
As a quick explanation, I did not adjust the white balance on my camera properly so the pics have a blue tinge to them but to be honest I kind of like it as it makes them look artsy fartsy. Anyway you be the judge.
I really like the gloss in this pic, not bad for a white car huh.
You can't have the engine exposed like this and not take a pic of it.
I really like the composition in this pic.
I thought the reflection on the hood was crazy, it looks like another dimension in there.
A couple of those "cool guy" pics. No dry steering was involved in these shots.
I like the way the hood looks in this shot.
The gloss in this shot looks crazy too.
And the money shot.
I hope you enjoyed reading through and seeing the transformation, as well as picked up a couple things on the proper way of taking care of your car.
All comments are welcome and any questions feel free to ask.
Cheers,
Wes
