Nope. Not me. Havent been pulled over yet, knock on wood!

I saw a White 2010 GT about 2-3 weeks ago over at 119th & I-35/Blackbob over by that Dick's Sporting Goods...so I know there is another one around somewhere...

Performance White remains the fastest color - now even more so after the slick zaino treatment.

I use Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. Goes on and comes off very easily. I'm up to four coats and the paint looks fantastic!

hmm.. never heard of that one. I just put on a coat of Meguiar's NXT Generation and after 3 weeks it still feels smooth...

I plan on giving the car a wash tonight and I'm curious how it will be after..

How long does Wolfgang still bead water after the initial application? How much work is the application/buffing? (I do everything by hand, no power tools..)

1st thing I did was clay my car and then used the rest of the mequir treatment. just claying the car REALLY brought out the shine and smoothed out the paint. Looks like you looking into a mirror...

NXT is a nice over the counter product. Click here for more information regarding the Wolfgang sealant. Since it's synthetic rather than carnuba it lasts months (NXT is synthetic too I believe) - I haven't tested the water beading since I've been applying another coat every 2-3 weeks. A poly foam applicator is all you need to apply - and then a microfiber to buff off 30-45 minutes later. It had good reviews on AutoGeek and Autopia which is why I gave it a shot.

Here's my full detailing regiment in case you're curious:

Wash: Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine
Wax / Sealant: Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
Quick Detailer: Wolfgang Quick Detailing Sprintz
Vinyl / Rubber / Cladding: 303 Aerospace Protectant (Interior, Exterior, and Engine Compartment)
Leather Cleaning: A damp (water) microfiber towel. You can use a 16:1 Woolite solution for more aggressive cleaning
Leather Conditioning: Pinnacle Leather Conditioner
Tires: Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel (dillute 2:1 with water - lasts forever!)
Windows: Zep Glass/Tinted Window Cleaner (has no ammonia)
Towels (Washing / QD): Cobra Super Plush Deluxe Microfiber
Towels (Drying): Cobra Guzzler HD Gold Waffle Weave
Towels (Buffing): Cobra Indigo Microfiber Polishing Cloth

My secrets have been revealed. All of the above I purchased from AutoGeek.
