^^^ This stuff is amazing. I just got home from Phoenix yesterday morning (had ablation for my Afib hooray!) Drove my ford up there and hit a lot of bugs. Got home and the bugs wiped right off. No paint no strain. Never had them come off so easy!

No fancy lights.Just a fluorescent over head.The Reflection quality is their.Longevity? We will see.
Maybe a ceramic alternative for the Hand Wipe Waxers

I tried BM and was equally impressed with the shine and slickness. Drove to a car show and there was hardly any dust to wipe off. Previously it would require complete wipe down. Since this is s top coat on anything you use car needs to be already polished for best results. I will be ordering a gallon now. Tried the small bottle for $11. Will get 4 cars out of that small bottle.

I was wondering about that. No issues using outside on a hot surface?

I have never tried it on a hot surface out in the sun. Actually I have never tried any product in the sun. I always use it in the garage.

Shined up my Corvette along with its two orphaned cousins for the local car show this past Saturday.
There were a couple more C7s in attendance, a Z06 and a base Stingray, a couple C6s, several C5s and 1 C4.
My '95 Firebird was the lone 4th gen Firebird and there was surprisingly, another Fiero that showed up too.

Unfortunately I had to sell my 2002 CETA Firebird Convertible in order to afford my 2014 Z51 Vert. I rally liked the CETA. You have a Nice line up of cars. The picture below is of my CETA that I sold to a friend and my (new to me) 2014 Lime Rock Green Vert at a local car show.

Took overhead shot of new Pilots Seat for my MAVIC 2 Pro Drone!. With newly installed NAVTOOL I can now project the cameras video in real time to my nav display in the car (HDMI) and fly incognito from inside the car!.

Sadly my Firebird and Fiero are up for adoption as they would most likely just sit around and not get used now that I have the Corvette. I don't have anywhere to store them now either since my barn roof collapsed from all the snow this winter.

Right, the old "my barn roof collapsed" excuse.

Sorry to hear that. Well as it usually goes, your loss will be someone else’s gain. The circle of 🚙 cars.

Made hockey puck jacking pads. Took delivery of my MGW shifter. Already received the LEDs for the license plate and hatch area lighting, the CAGS eliminator, and the JWM smoked side marker lights. Splash guards, Lloyd mats, and Quick Jack are on the way. Wife said if you want it for the car, order it.
