have you tried griots yet?

I just used Mother'* Carnuba and I thought it was much nicer to work with than the Meguire'*, although I like both. Mother'* had a pretty deep shine to it too. I like it.

That'* what I'm fuzzy on. I've heard people using it both ways. Seal then wax, or wax then seal. I know seal than wax works good, but I've wanted to try the other way around.

Grimm is right..... you need to completely remove wax before applying Liquid Glass.
BonneMeMN, I used to use Mothers 3 stage waxing (and still do on my 91) but now I use LG on my 97. It'* tougher, lasts longer, easier to apply, and I think does an even better job then the Mothers 3 stage wax. It'* kinda hard to tell, because the paint on ht 91 is much newer then the 97 and has never seen a winter.

There are a few sealants you can use over wax, but they have to be compatible. I have no idea what ones there are, but I think they have to both have polymers maybe? I think it'* the actual carnauba that the sealants have trouble bonding with. It seems like the few waxes that you can top with a sealant are the liquid variety.

I use Finish First polish. When I bought my first Grand National, I swore I'd never buy another black car again. 5 later, I'm not afraid of black anymore. Finish First changed my mind.

Once when my car was under gawd-awful mix of flourescent and phosphorous lights in a dealership service bay, I was asked who did the paint on the car (because it looked so good it couldn't be stock). I replied Buick painted it in 1987. It was the original single stage black from 87 and it looked like a fresh basecoat/clearcoat. I love the stuff.

S100 is AMAZING.

It was pretty hard in the tub, but when you're spreading it, it'* like putting warm butter on bread. For this first application i used their foam applicator, and probably will for the 2nd one, but I wont use it after that most likely.

When a hard paste comes off easier then my old Liquid Gold Class, i'm impressed to say the least. It really looks similar to the stuff shown on Britan'* 5th Gear show, where the ultimate detailing guy has the special $6000 GPB wax (the top Zymol IIRC).

I even did the spoiler with my bare hands as that guy does just to see how it would be different to the rest of the car. I tried a few techniques on different panels, so maybe I can tell what works and what doesn't later on.

Souverran sounds like great stuff, a guy I know who details sports and supercars out west uses it a lot, especially on darker colors.

Good choice on the S100. I have never heard anything bad about it at all. Anyone that uses it always has nice words about the ease of use and the finish.

Yes, get some pictures posted. That is one I've thought about checking out.

Didn't have my camera yesterday, and when i finished it was already dusk, and worked today, but damn it was shining nice in the sun.

I'll get a few up tomorrow hopefully!
