Good job, what did you use?

Looks great! And that is a white car? Do tell what wax you used. My AW needs some love.

I don't use water to clean the car.
Meguiar's Exterior Detail Spray and microfiber towels are all I use. Water leaves some water spots no matter how careful or quick you are.

Thanks, and yes, that is Arctic White, and it's a pita to catch a pic of that kind of shine on it. I cleaned the car with Meguiar's detail spray and microfiber towels followed by a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax to remove the grime that gets stuck in the grooves of the paint. I follow that with a coat of Meguiar's Carnauba Wax to bring out the deep shine. Of course I also use a clay bar every 3-4 months to remove the garbage that gets trapped in the paint.

It actually does require shades in full sunlight. The AW is so bright it's blinding.

Looks really sharp - nice job getting that type of shine on the paint.
