Default Tips?

So i'm really up on things when it comes to cleaning/shining up the stang. Where i currently work they build automotive lifts like you find in service bays at dealerships. well they have a new model of lift, and sent me an email asking if it was ok to use my mustang. i just started like two weeks ago and i felt pretty good about it, haha, hell yeah you can put my car on it and take lots of pictures!!! haha, can't wait!

any tips on shinning it up even more? i'm a little worried about the underside, but in most of the pictures i saw they dont really show that i guess, so maybe thats not a big deal. i clay bared the car a month back, and it was waxed rigth after it, and today i'm going out and puting on another coat of wax/polish. I have heard people talk about Zano (sp?) or something, i've never tried it. If it weren't for the fact i just moved and it cost an arm and a leg to get out of my old lease, i'd hurry up and buy the wheels/tires i've been wanting or at least make a decision on what ones i want and get them in before the shoot. but thats life.

You can layer different waxes...but considering it is white it maybe just less noticable and the car looks great already. I detailed the undercarriage of my stang the other day and all the SS exhaust work front to back (or should I say side) and the wheel wells got a good cleaning and the engine bay and polish and wax is next! I usually clay once a year and polish once a year and wax 4 times a year with multicoats of wax each time I do it. I use a product called Sonus Trim and Motor koteand it is a high temp acrylic polymer/wax that lasts a very long time is good to 240-280 degrees and is the factory equivalent to the coat of "wax" the factory does to all its engine bays. here is a link http://sonus-usa.com/son-720.html. The trick is very light coats and do not touch until dry! Very important!
