dry - guzzler

pinnacle clay

polish - menzerna final polish applied with porter cable and orange edge pad

sealant - klasse high gloss

Paint looks great. You are off to a good start! How did you apply the Klasse SG? Hard to use? I prefer a wipe on wipe off method or leaving it on the paint for 12+hours. It is a bear to remove if not right away until a few hours later, in my experiences. Now you just need to dress the tires and wells. Nice work.
 
Looks very good for your 1st detail. I don't like to use any kind of brush on my paint. I would also agree with budman about detail the wheel wells. It really makes a big difference.
 
i applied the klasse high gloss with a microfiber applicator.. left in on for 20 minutes or so. it was kinda hard to wipe off at first.. i dampened the microfiber cloth with a little wolfgang spritz sealant and it came off pretty easy. i think the wolfgang spritz sealant added to the depth of the paint.

my plan is to let it sit as is.. let the klasse cure.. then put a coat of wax on it.

the wells and tires are on my to do list :) thanks for your feedback budman!!
 
i have a schmitt to try next time.. thanks for your feedback gary!
 
Looks good, in the pictures you can see the flakes pop...well done.

Thanks for sharing, a job well done for the first time.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice job. Are your swirls gone now?? Your paint has so much flake to it you must be lovin' it in the sunlight.
