Default Low budget wax

Since I'm everlasting on a budget but wanted a showroom finish I went the cheap route and turned out pretty good

$12 Ten inch buffer
$13 Clay Magic Kit
$7 Turtle Wax Compound
$7 Turtle Wax Polisher
$7 Turtle Wax Cream

Here are the pics

looks pretty sweet regardless of price, even better considering the price. Big difference in the clarity of the reflections. I would have been afraid to touch compound, but looks like you made it work. You probably don't want to use that too often. BTW, you neglected to factor in the price of the Coronas into the cost of your work

With the OTC 10" buffer he bought.. the compound is virtuously harmless..

BTW, Looks great! I started off with Turtle Wax 5 years ago.. now look where I am

Glanz wax is a good cheapish wax. Not going to be found at your local store though.

Results are yet to be determined. Full sunshine shots are necessary.

Hey guys thanks for all your input!!!! O yea the coronas sure do make the work a lot less painful lolololol. Refering to esperlirS2K yes the compund is pretty much harmless becuase of the such low rpm's of the 10" buffer I bought, but still guys be careful. The car had ton of tree sap due to no garage lololol. Next time i will sure post better pics!!! Im eyeing my bros TL which is black so it should showcase my work better!!! or my mistakes, just kidding.
