Well I just did a spit shine to my truck. I had 2 coats of PB's EXwC and 3
coats of Nattys Blue. I just spit shined the 4th coat of Nattys Blue on it.
Well first I will say that I had a bottle of PB S&W with about 1 oz left in the
bottle. I filled the 16oz bottle with water and that 1oz of spray and wipe.
I put it in the fridge for a day or two. This afteroon I put it in the freezer
until it was slushing. I then spritz each panel liberaly with the solution and
wipe NB in a very thin coat. Haze and wipe off with a Cobra Indigo Polishing
cloth. Amazing depth. I will say that when wiping it down I saw some streaks.
I thought maybe I should not have used the Spray and Wipe in the solution.
I wiped it down after with Spray and Wipe after and the streaks came right
out and the shine is really deep and the color is poppin. I would advise anyone who has not to try this. I will even link a thread that Neothin gives
a in depth discription of the procedure of Spit Shining.

:iagree:

I tried in partially on the "tops" and never saw a noticable difference. Too much work for little to no rewards IMO. Mythbusters -- exposed !!!
 
LOL, great show. :D I guess Souveran isn't "good" enough for spit-shining. :p Do you have any pics belcherm?
 
I thought that the Spray & Wipe might give a lite cleaning action and add
some lubricity.

souveran is plenty lubed........
 
hmmmm i think this week i'm going to do a 5-8 layer spit shine process on a panel of the tC. I want you all to see just what spit shining is all about. Spit shine that many layers and you can literally start flaking off wax.

not that i'd recommend going that far, but just to show you want the spit shining process does.
 
What about spit shining 5 layers, and then apply a coat of liquid Souveran?

and as for it being safe, as long as the paint isnt fresh, it doesn't matter how much you wax.
