But time does lol

I really like how mine turned out after hand waxing with Turtle Wax Black Box, so I may do it again after this school semester is over with. I don't think it turned out as well as yours though!

 

Time is definitely correct. But its a hobby of mine.
Whatever works for you, stick with it. As long as you're getting results

 

im soo jealous..

 

Nice work, I am doing my candy and know how much time it takes!

 

God that looks good, really makes me hate the fact that mine is practically yellow right now from all the pollen despite a nice wash & wax last weekend.

 

Toxix,

Wow dude fantastic job on this car! I'm guessing about 8-10 hours labor? Worth every minute I'd say....unreal the shine you got there.

Anyway I love your wheels too, and that's saying something because I'm not a big "black wheel" fan....but those look stout as hell!

What size and brand are they, looks like 20's. Do tell?

Thanks,

Tom

 

Thanks guys!

8-10 hours labor is just about right.
I started off with Meg's 105, I had to do MANY passes on several panels with my PC 7424XP and an Orange Pad.

Last year, my car was good friends with a California Duster, so it HAD the marks to show. No more, I tossed that junk.

Meg's 105 itself was about 3-4 hours, including removal. 205 was much easier to remove. About 5 hours total on Meg's 105 and 205 combination
Gotta love Meguiar's.

Next step was my annual dawn wash to strip away the Meg's and start with a Zaino base.

Zaino ZPC - 1 Coat
Zaino Z5 - 3 Coats
Zain Z8 - Grande Finale Spray

Hope you like it.

In regards to the wheels, you got it right; I was trying to be careful when I picked some out.

20s + Low Profile + Coilovers can be dangerous, ride quality goes to the dogs.

Wheels - Boss 339 Black and Red
Tires - Hankook Ventus V12 Front: 245/35/20 Rear: 275/35/20

For anyone deciding to get these wheels, be aware that my TPMS light has been on since day one.

The 2010s have a different kind of sensor that goes into the valve (Not the one with the band), and due to the valve on this wheel being on a angle, its impossible to install, something I got used to in no time.

 

Awesome job on detailing your car there Torxix. It practically disappears in most of those pics.

 

Gotta love the mirror, thanks!
