Nice job Byron! 
Question though, what polish did you use on your paint? And what did you detail your wheel wells with? (I'm not familiar with CG's product line)

I used CG pro-polish and final polish. Can be found here:

For the wheel wells I used CG bare bones. Found here:

First time using bare bones. Works great
Chemical guys should be right next to you. They are in Inglewood
LMK if you go sometime. Ill make the trip up.

where did you get the big tub of the rimwax?
is it the actual chemical guys one or the smartwax one?
I have the smartwax one but mine came in a blue container (smaller than yours) with a silver lid.
How do you like it? smells good doesn't it?

It pays off to live right next to them. The tub is actually the older container (the same price as the smaller version). It was just old stock they had in-store. They tell me the smart wax stuff and CG stuff is the same thing. It went on and off easy
...The real test is brake dust, time will tell.
Yes it does smell great. All the CG stuff smells great

I just finished applying Lusso Oro, by hand.
How do you guys apply a thin layer by hand? Any tips for applying by hand?
It was somewhat mild to remove. It felt/looked like I had applied it thin
ohh and how long will my hands smell like coconut?
