It got up into the lower 60s today, and so I treated myself, and Luthien, to a lengthy wash and wax. Though it was perhaps warm enough to go ahead with a regular wash, I chose to go with the ONR, as I have been doing all winter.
I then pulled Luthien into the garage and spent an hour polishing her with #7. I confess I really like using #7, though I still haven't mastered the technique. After I polished her, I then went back over the car with the Brinkman looking for any polish I may have missed. I believe #7leaves my Luthien with a deeper shine than she would have without it; but to be honest, I really don't know if that is the case.
I then laid down a coat of Collinite 845. This coat should get me well into April.
Luthien looks great, but as the Brinkman revealed she is swirled from fender to fender. I look forward to my spring detail, when I plan on spending a couple of days polishing her with my G110, SwirlX, and M205. Counting the days ...
And yes, I know that
but it was past sunset by the time I finished. You will just have to take my word that Luthien looks lovely this evening.
Cheers,
Al
