Default Just figured I would share....more pics....

Remember the pics I posted about a month ago....with my Klasse AIO basecoat, and Gold Class on top? About a week ago, I recieved the Meguires Professional Final Touch Detailer (one gallon)...and this week, and went on a road trip to the north east. Destinations included Rhode Island, Vermont, Mass, etc.

This post is basically a progress report/mini review.

First of all, Id like to say that the Meguires Pro spray is fantastic. It smells AMAZING. I really want to drink it. Smells like Malibu rum (coconuts).

Now, onto the pics...these pics were not really doctored. Yes, they were put through photoshop, but not for scratch filling purposes. It was mostly for background lighting and such. Those of you who know me, know I dont BS.

Pardon the arty shots, they were meant for the gallery, not for the W&W section....

These pics were taken after a 250 mile drive....remember, car has NOT been washed in over a month.





In front of a masion....





As you can see in this pic....the car also got rained on while I was in Rhode Island...Gold Class does a GREAT job of beading....I know I know...so does every wax....



These are after ANOTHER 250 mile drive (remember, car still hasnt been washed) and rained on twice. The only thing I did was wipe the front off with some detailer, to get the dead bugs off the bumper.





The wheels WERE wiped down with a wet paper towel...its all I had.







Top view pic....cant really tell the cleanliness of it in this pic....



This pic is obviously chopped, but not the car....just the background.




So, hope you enjoyed my little photo diary, and remember, just because its off the shelf, doesnt mean its inferior. Comments, questions, welcome!

What?!?! MA is the best state in all of New England. You should have spent the MOST time there not the LEAST.

Sweet looking car and a nice polish on there.
