    Trying to decide on a sealant or wax for today's job

    I am placing an order. I really like the Dj. It goes on really easy and looks great. I thought I had another pot but ended up only with a small amount that might do the hood. So I am trying to choose from what I have to complete the job tomorrow. The only other eaxes I have thought about...

    Trying to decide on a sealant or wax for today's job

    So today I was excited for the first time in a month to have time to detail my car. I washed with Meg's gold wash. Then I polished with Meg's ultimate compound. Next I applied Meg's mirror glaze #7. I live in a rural area and have to order everything and just realized I am too low on dodo...

    Love the shine of Dj blue velvet topped with purple haze but....

    Thank you for the compliment. I could not get a very good picture of the car. It is even brighter blue up close and a very striking metallic. The paint is a 3 stage paint- black, purple, and then blue. After my previous detail, it looked like it was navy blue and the metallic was not...

    Love the shine of Dj blue velvet topped with purple haze but....

    I didn't care for the dura gloss by itself.... This was why I tried some paste wax over it. That produced the desired effect but quickly dissipated. I tried the Dj combo after seeing several pictures on other peoples posts so I decided to give it a try. The shine is amazing. It is super easy...

    Love the shine of Dj blue velvet topped with purple haze but....

    I have spent the last month or so experimenting with different waxes to see what will really make the metallic in my paint pop. I first used OTC Meg waxes. The Meg's ultimate paste wax applied under a coating of dura gloss was amazing. The problem is that it doesn't last and attracts dust and...

    What were your experience with Dj blue velvet and purple haze

    The rain let up long enough to wash , Polish and apply 1 coat of bv. Now to wait until it clears again for a second coat. I am trying to decide if I want to add the purple haze this time around. After one coat, I am impressed with the glossiness and the boost to the blue paint.[ATTACH]3552

    What were your experience with Dj blue velvet and purple haze

    Nice pics. I have a blue metallic Mazda. With the right products it looks amazing. So many thing I have tried just make it too like a dark navy car... Or do not last long enough. I am hoping to see the sun long enough tomorrow to finally be able to wash it and get started.

    What were your experience with Dj blue velvet and purple haze

    I purchased some dodo juice blue velvet and purple haze. I am starting to get bummed that it has never stopped raining and I still haven't got to try it yet. So let me live vicariously.... What was your experience with these?

    Megs ultimate paste wax and liquid glass

    I do not like the look of liquid glass without something under it. Otherwise, it amplifies all the flaws. Using the paste wax under it hides a lot of the imperfections. At least that was what happened on my husbands bmw. It looks great, but every swirl is amplified

    Megs ultimate paste wax and liquid glass

    I tried Megs gold carnuba wax- it was certainly shiny.... But everything stuck to the car. I want a harder finish. I drove through a rural area that is constantly under construction everyvday. I was hoping to find something to help cut down on all the rock pecks to the paint. I was looking...

    Megs ultimate paste wax and liquid glass

    I have been reading online and looking for something to really bring out the metallic in my blue paint. I hesitate to pay $100 for wax and then hate it. So while I have been trying to make up my mind- today I clay barred my car, used dura gloss sealant, 2 coats of Megs ultimate paste wax and...
