Looking good.
I also use the Meguiar’s clay and NXT wax.


Kind of off topic but is that a state inspection sticker in the middle of your windshield?
If so, it’s an effed up location for it.

Gotta go to the dmv sometime this week.

And as far as I know thats where VT inspections go. Looks stupid from the outside but the mirror blocks it from the inside.

You should look into the LC red pads for wax. The blue ones are still soft but I believe they just barely have some cut. I've always used blue for polish and then the softer red one for wax.

Car looks great though. I love laguna blue.

Nice work for some OTC stuff.

The red pads are even softer than the blue ones. Red is strictly for wax.

I personally use the blue pads for "jeweling". I don't use red pads.
