Alright time to step up the game on you guys. I didn't want to have to pull this out-but you left no choice. I realize haters will be haters. Let me preface by saying it is all about the details. Everyone of you can achieve these results or close to it with the proper training,tools,technique and products. For those who say "I can put xyz on or Turtle Wax and no one will ever notice the difference" BS! No one will achieve this results without the best of the best.
The most surprising thing is,after all was said and done-it really felt like little or no effort was put in at all.

What??? Me??? haha I'll never tell. Now check this out on a silver car







You ever hear of or use Wet Glaze 2.0 from The Detail Shoppe? Pure gloss enhancer( no protective qualities). Can go over or under a wax/sealant? You can no longer get it though( I actually bought the last 12 )

Someone bought the Danase Wet Glaze formula.... Go on Autopia and ask a guy name Merlin. We talk about it all the time. Also try PB white diamond, or Machine Glaze

It was The Detail Shoppe. I think I got the bug from Merlin over at DB several years ago to try some. I tried a few others that claim to be a pure enhancer. None have been as good
