        Thank you. It took a lot of rubbing as I done it all by hand. Im going to try and get some more out come 2 er 3 months when I do it all over again before the snow flys' and get it protected against the salt, Im thinking about 15 coats of NXT

          Well, hopefully you are joking about the 15 coats... 2-3 is the most that will really help.

          I think the 2nd or 3rd time always give the best results, espeacialy as you are practicing as well.

            Great job! And six hours when all the work is done by hand is very good.

            Mike, is the Mild Professional Detailing Clay the replacement for Overspray Clay (white bar)? It was actually easier to find the Overspray Clay than the Quik Clay locally.

              Yes I am kidding about the 15, But 2 er 3 for sure. Is there any other ways to protect against the salt? Here in the winter time the roads are salted daily for at least 3 months.

                Not really... just hope for a warm day half way through for a bit of deatailing...

                Washing when possible, so the slat/water sludge doesnt stay on longer than it has to will also help.
