          I call it 'Miller Time' because now I get to sit down and watch the GF apply the wax.

          I'm with onawrxhigh about 'jeweling'. I've been shooting much, much longer than I've been detailing, so to me 'jeweling' is an act of instilling swirls. Not good. Burnishing is another term I understand in a different way. My grandfather made jewelry and would burnish the finish on hard gem stones as a final step. And in firearms we burnish trigger sears for a smoother pull and crisp let-off. In both cases the term refers to 'heating the surface through friction to open the micropores in the material enough to accept and hold a lubricant such as wax or moly paste. At my skill level, I don't want to heat paint or clear coat enough to feel hot, let alone hot enough to open 'pores'.

                I may have to change my terminology to reflectus maximus. That is a good one.

                Please, don't bother me while I am buffing or the reflectus maximus may get messed up.

                              Hon, grab me a beer please, just about finished.

                              Guess I have to say, finishing.
