since i picked my s2k up. have a long weekend so i figured id clean up the car with some of the stuff i picked up from juan at turbowax about a month ago. no before images because the car wasnt in bad shape to begin with. to clarify, the hood is shiny as can be, but the guy who painted it did a shittastic job and its got a lot of peel in it. will be getting it fixed soon.

products used:

megiuars gold class shampoo
m105 for the old panels applied by PC
followed by 205 over the whole car
sealed with optiseal
finished off with turbowax's wax
also cleaned the interior with turbowax's leather cleaner and LVR. the only finishing thing ive been really happy with on interiors

car is shining nicely and the flake is popping pretty well!










no swirls


also got a chance to use turbowax's new aluminum polish on mah fart can. i am a HUGE fan of meguiars mag polish, but this stuff is seriously just as good, and in all honesty is much easier to apply and remove. would have saved me many hours on my old wheels haha



ill get some better glamour shots tomorrow

Looks good! How long did it take? What pads did you use?

I would of loved to see before and after, but great job none the less.

Ccs pads used throughout. Car really wasn't in bad shape so a full correction thread wouldn't if been worth it. It is noticeably more crisp looking though

I'm actually most impressed with how clean the wheel and tire are. What did you use for that? Also how do you like the RE-11's? Everything I've read suggest they are outstanding tires.
