I didn't see this posted here on AG so I thought I'd let those who didn't know that there is another write up of Paul Dalton detailing someone's black BMW on Detailing World. Very nice.

Thanks a lot, guys. I really need something like this.

Thanks. Can you reccommend a good brush for this kind of work?

I feel a little silly asking this but how do you guys remove wax from all of the nooks and crannies around the car like the small spaces between the headlights and the body or other narrow creases. Do you use a brush or a just an mf? I always find my car with several small deposits of wax the...

Sigh... again with the polycharger. I guess it's only a matter of time until I have to buy this too.

I wish I could get my interior to look like that. My car's interior basically looks perfect but still it doesn't look quite like that. I don't know what it is.

Hey Killr, I noticed you have the Danase Speed Glaze in your collection there. What do you think of it? I use it and although it's the only glaze I've used I like it. It worked well under and over my UPP.

You have to at least give Souveran a try. I used it for the first time this week. It exceeded my expectations. I expected it to be just a slight bit nicer in looks than NB but now that it's had 24 hours to cure I can plainly see the difference. The Souveran look is niiiiiiiice.

Wow. I think I was over charged a little. The guy worked on my car for 4 hours. He didn't have to do the interior because I keep it pristine. The wheels didn't need work either. Hmm.... Anyone know a good pro in San Diego?

$175??? That's how much you would charge for that? Wow. Rates are low in Ohio. I had someone remove some light swirls topped with upp and it cost me $300! The guy who did my car would probably charge over $500 for that truck.

Hey Justin, do you have any tips for the black onyx gel? I used it today for the first time and it has a really nice look but I felt like I had to put on quite a bit of gel to get a decent look. (see pic). I used a tire shine applicator but it just seemed like I had to use a good amount of the...

A couple of after pics...

Update -- I put on a second coat of souveran just now. I think that last night since I was waxing at night the souveran didn't like the moisture because it was TOO buttery and didn't even have a hint of hazing. Today when applying it it actually felt like I should I think. After 1 minute there...

Yes, UPP is nice. I think I'll buy a polycharger next. Does anyone know a link that explains in more scientific detail how polychargers work? Why is the material you add it to only good for a couple of days? What exactly is going on with the polymers? Do you think a polycharger is worth it?

Thanks for the info everyone. I will try going wax only for awhile and see how it goes. I'm going to miss UPP though. Well I tried Souveran today for the first time. On my car I had danase speed glaze->upp->nb->aw before I began. I washed GC with a foam gun because my dp extreme foam ran out. I...

Hmm... 845 has decent uv protection, huh? I've been using upp for a sealant and on top of that I've got danase speed glaze (acryllic), several coats of NB and biweekly AW. However, I'm always thinking "I wonder how the UPP is doing under there?", "How do I tell if the UPP is still good?"...

I've been using UPP with waxes over it and I have no complaints. However, I'm using collinite on my wife's car and I've been really impressed with it. I was thinking of trying to go with no sealant and using collinite with NB or souveran on top it. Just toying with the idea. Don't know if I...

Do any of you geeks take care of your cars with waxes only with no sealant underneath? Do waxes like 845 provide adequate uv protection? Just wondering.

Thanks everyone.

All of these mentioned are good suggestions and the cars would look great with any of them. If you want a very good look that will last a very long time then you might want to try collinite 845. I only use it on my wife's car because I like to try different things often on my own car but 845 is...
