NICE!! What combo was it this time?? UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE!

[f1guy68]

The process:

"Wash" with Mother's California Gold Showtime Instant Detailer (Car was clean, just a little dusty)

Apply by hand Meguiar's NXT
Apply by hand Meguiar's #7
Apply by hand P21S

And the results are impressive:

Very cool! If you said it was a photo of the store front and not a reflection I would have believed you!

Why did you apply #7 AFTER NXT?

[f1guy68]

Antonio,

I applied #7 after NXT because I didn't want the cleaning actions of NXT to remove any of the #7! I was not using #7 to fill swirls, nor the NXT for that matter..no swirls on my car...teeeheehee!

The main reason though, is that while I love NXT on black, it doesn't give me the reflective wet look that I seek! It deepens my black like nothing I have ever seen before (yet to try my Pinnacle Souveran) but it just doesn't give me the wet reflective look!

I'm trying to find a balance between Dark & Black & Deep...and very very wet looking!
