    I have used Megs Ultimate Liquid wax and like it a lot but it can be a little finicky to work with . ULW gives a harder colder reflection I use BFWD now and to my eye ,it gives more of a carnauba look which I have read Wolfgang look is similiar to BFWD. It gives a deeper darker reflection...

    I did a pearl white Acura recently and noticed my Brinkman didnt pick up things too well . I installed one of those 300 watt energy saver bulbs from Home Depot in the overhead socket and it worked great for the hood top and trunk,showed every swirl.

    Need some boat detailing process advises!

    Awlgrip is a paint very similiar to Imron, It is a hard paint but you should be able to work on it using any automotive type polishes or waxes but I would not use the Marine polishes on it. If the sides are gelcoat,they can be polished using Marine polish which has more oils to keep it from...
