I gave my wifes Tracker a detail this past weekend. I got to finally test-out my UDM, and I must say overall it was a pleasure to work with. I accidentally hit the on/off button a few times, but luckily there was no fresh product on the pad. I used the Edge blue pad and XMT360 was my polish of choice. I then topped with XMT180 by hand.

I took these pics when I got home this evening. We've been getting a lot of rain off and on all day from the feeder bands of "Noel".

I like how small and tight the beads are, this wax doesn't seem to get much attention.

No it doesn't. Thats why I thought I would post this.
Overall I was happy with the wax. This was the first time I tried it, so I can't give a final judgment on it. It left a nice slick, glossy finish. What I was a disappointed with was the amount of "environment" that was stuck and lying on the finish a day after application. Giving the car a once over with #521 took care of that, and now I don't see as much all over the finish.

Thanks for the reply's peeps.

That is indeed quite some beading! How long had it been on there and how many layers did you put down?

Those pictures were taken four days after application. One layered was applied.

Those are some really tight beads going on there. I haven't yet tried 180, but it looks like it does a very nice job!

Well after a week now, unless you got right up on top of the car you couldn't tell that it hasn't been washed for a week. The shine and reflection are still quiet nice. Not a very slick surface but smooth. We did have a couple of days with alot of rain so I couldn't imagine many waxes that would retain that really slick surface after. I'm really starting to like this wax more and more. At first I didn't think it looked to great on a metallic finish, but after a week of not being washed and still having a very nice pop to the finish is quiet pleasing.
