I think you're just as proud of your vehicles as me Dazz, maybe I'm more OCD :winker: :)

Our weather doesn't help at the moment. I gave my car a really good clean yesterday and it is filthy again!  :crazy1:

Parking it out in the rain does not constitute a really good clean, Dazz.  :D

Meguiars is good stuff, using the Ultimate currently but a Carnauba based wax will give a high gloss shine.

The Ultimate recommends putting it on in shade but I don't have much shade here, It says its ok to put on in direct sun and I did. Geeez what a workout. I wouldn't recommend direct sun waxing. Plus it was 121 degrees F today,,,Yahooo. Sure looks good tho.

Yeah it can be done in the sun but you have to do a square foot at a time and buff off straight away, if in the shade the whole car can be done then buffed afterwards.

Some shade in a park somewhere would have been useful if there is no carport or trees at home.

Thank you for the recommendation! I'm a fan of Meguiars. I just got the Ultimate wash and wax yesterday, I haven't used that one yet. Wish my car looked sparkly-just-driven-from-the-card-yard-new look all the time :D.

I think it shrunk in the wash LOL (you really should try a hosting site) Attachments often get lost if the site crashes and your efforts would be a lot better displayed in a bigger photo. You can go Full HD or bigger! :goodjob:

Definitely a meguiars fan too!

I used the NXT products on my Black 2005 Elantra and after 10 years the car had a shine like no other Black Elantra of that age... It still had that deep black reflection that always made washing it satisfying.

Sold the gem to a guy that appreciated how I had looked after it and bought it without even driving it... Will always use meguiars products and lambs wool mitts to wash my cars
