Default Did the Chadwick thing

Based on recommendations from several on this forum, I ordered the Triple Play package and hit the top side of my car with it this evening.

Yes, that's not a Corvette. It is the 69 Mustang I drive while in AZ for the winter. My black 03 Corvette is back in Seattle awaiting dry weather this spring and summer.

I am impressed so far with Chadwick, especially the ease of application. I'm eager to see the long term effect here in AZ, where cars get more dusty than dirty.

And I'm really eager to try it on the black Vette, which seems to show smudges and fingerprints even if you don't touch it (kidding...sort of).

Looks like a really good shine. I think I'll order some of his product and give it a try.

I love Chadwicks! I've been using it for awhile and cannot say a single bad thing! It makes the vette and my other cars look amazing!

I've been using Chadwicks for a couple of years now and love the product. The only thing that I don't like is that I can not use my California duster on it. The car is black and the duster leaves streaks when I use it. Black is sure a dust magnet.

You asked, so here is a bigger photo of the Mustang. And since this is a Corvette site, also a shot of my black 2003 coupe.

Here's a question for those experienced Chadwick's users here: How far should a 24-ounce bottle go?

I did a first application, then the buffer block, a couple weeks ago, and did a follow up (minus the block) this weekend. Then I took it to my 03 Yukon Denali (didn't use the buffer block because I had clay barred it within the past two months).

All that and I am near the bottom of the 24-ounce bottle. Think Iaid it on too heavy? I'm sure I was being extra cautious with my 69 Mustang because it's a show quality car and I wanted to be certain there was plenty of lubrication so I wouldn't scratch it.

My understanding is you should use less product with subsequent apications, but it didn't seem to take long to go through that first bottle.

Mustangs?

Old pic of my 69 BOSS 302, bought new on my birthday in August of that year. Wish I still had her.

On my vette (does not get real dirty) I have the spray set to a fine mist, My Full size trunk(GMC) was covered with grime and salt,I used
very little on the vette, the truck I used very liberal,which I just did yesterday I used maybe a 1/4 of a bottle. I can't really tell you how far it goes because I use it everywhere,my sinks,tv,counter top,glasses,windows, and mirrors.I wished I had taken a before pic of my truck(it was more white than pewter)I am still amazed at it seems the more you use it the better the shine !!!! PS the 24 bottle is now 32 at no extra charge !!!!
you can tell by my wheel wells how dirty it was !!!!
