Your video did encourage me to go get some Mequiars #7 Glaze and NXT.:beer:

That #7 Glaze IS THE BOMB!!!!! I did the 3 step process like in your video, but from now on I'm just gonna use the #7 Glaze and be done.:naughty1: It looked soaking wet with that stuff and since I don't drive the car, no need for 50 coats of wax like I do. LOL

K, cool. Pics or GTFO. Heh.

Good video! I usually try to do this every 3 months or so. And now that I'm typing that, I'm realizing that I'm overdue for it! :lol:

Thanks.

Roger that!

I put on 2 coats of #7 Glaze only yesterday and I'll put on 2 more today and take pics. Love the wet look! Thanks for turning me on to this stuff!

If I decide to start driving the car, then I'll reseal and wax it but for now she sleeps in the shop.:sigh1::screw::whistling:

I snapped a bunch of pics with 2 different camera's today and I SUCK at taking pics!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even worth posting because I couldn't setup either camera to take good pics inside my shop to show the shine. The lighting was horrible.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Looks great. I have garage envy, lol That thing looks like a hanger. I've been able to fit 3 cars in my garage with all my other stuff one time, but one was a Z3!!!!

That's with my Canon 20D and like I said, I suck at picture taking. I wanted to capture the shine in it's natural light. Looks wet, but I can't figure this camera out. LOL!!!!

I'm done for awhile. I've glazed, sealed, and waxed this thing about 20 times in the past week. I'm done!!!!!:kill:

Awesome video. Thank you.

I have some noob questions.

Were those extra foam pads you guys bought all "polishing" pads or were they "finishing" or "cutting" pads?

Also, my car is a DD. If I do this, would it still look good after being washed or would I have to do this process all over again?

Lastly, I have a tip. You can buy everything at http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/ for dirt cheap using these coupon codes. They have free instore pickup for online orders or free shipping when you spend over $75.

Damn dude, I think you carried it a bit too far. After a point more doesnt result in any better results. But, it does look great.
