I actually did most of this last weekend but didn't have time to take any photos. Washed the car down with Dawn then clayed it. The next day, I broke out the PC and used Wolfgang swirl remover followed by Wolfgang wax. The third day, I hand-applied Wolfgang sealant. The car was actually in pretty good shape but did have a ton of little swirls. I was able to get most of them out, looks a lot better now.

PS - wheels look familiar Rich?

The car looks great! I like how you swapped for the tan interior. I've seen it done in some black cars and it looks nice.

Also, did you clean the wheels or are they supposed to look that way?

Thanks guys. Wanabe, you have a PM! MikeyC, couldn't have done it without your guide. I have a bound copy in my supplies cabinent. The wheels look darker in the photos but trust me, they are immaculate. I bought them from Rich/Ubetit, well-known in these parts for his W&W status.

Most sealants dont bond well over waxes. Next time try the sealant UNDER the wax and see what the results are!

The red looks WET!
