Nice job! Anyone who washes (and details) TWO black cars in one day should get a medal! Or at least some free beer!

how did you like working with the tech wax? i tried it a little while ago and didn't like it at all. hard to get off and wasn't crazy about the finish anyway. took it back to the next carlisle show and tried to trade back to good ole yellow wax but after discussing my experience with the rep he thought 1. i put it on too heavy and 2. i didn't let it dry long enough which made it harder to remove and didn't leave the proper finish. so i tried it again, and am very satisfied with the results, he made a believer out of me. [mines black too] i still thought it was a little extra work to buff out than some others, but it was worth it.

porter cable 7424 FTW!!!!!
i haven't tried the paste, but i do use the liquid nxt 2.0. and IMHO has a slight edge over the adam's buttery wax.
so if you don't have one, get a P/C 7424 or one of the offshoots (griot's, autogeek, etc.). it saves some time and you get just enough speed to break down the wax (which you really can't get by hand) but not enough to damage your clear.
great job and i think pops owes you some dinner and some beer.
peace,
