  • Reflection Shot Of My Ride - Courtesy of Meguiar's!!!

    Hey guys,

    I just wanted to share a couple of reflection shots of my ride. I was amazed when I walked out to the garage this morning. The reflection and slickness made my jaw drop. Yeah I know the picture was taken indoors but it's hard to capture any reflection on silver when the sun is out. More so with the intense Arizona sun.

    You may ask what I did to achieve this? I fully detailed the car maybe 3 weeks ago. I washed the car thoroughly then clayed it with Meguiar's smooth surface clay kit with Meguiar's Last Touch as clay lube. Then I polished the entire car with Meguiar's M205 via my Meguiar's G100 and LC white polishing pad. After, I sealed the entire car with Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax. The week after, I washed the car and applied AGHD wax. I just washed the car 4 days ago. I didn't apply anything on top and the car has just been sitting in the garage.

    Anyway enough talk and on to the pictures!







    What do you guys think? Just in case you haven't noticed... I love Meguiar's!!!

            The car will bead like crazy in the rain.

              Thanks for the compliment Nick!

              Unfortunately, the car rarely sees rain here in the desert. I wish there was more rain here. It did bead like crazy when I was in CA last weekend when I went for Meguiar's TNOG.

                It looks very nice, Marc.

                You just need UQW after car washes and the vehicle will stay super shiny/ protected.

                    Not easy to make whites and metallics pop like that. Nice job, Mark!

                      Nice work Mark!

                      That's about the best reflections you'll get from silver paint..

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                        Thanks for the compliment John!!! I wish I can make my paint pop like your ride in your avatar. We need to hit up another TNOG again and talk shop.

                        Thanks for the kind words Dave! I was blown away myself when I saw the reflections/gloss this morning.

                              Hmmm...... we might have to rethink that whole "silver can't look deep and wet" thing. Nicely done, Marc!!!!
