Today was an absolutely perfect day for detailing here in Rochester, so I took the opportunity to try the combo that everyone on DC is raving about. Happily, I can report that the raves are completely justified - this combo rocks.
I began this a few days ago when I polished out my car with DACP and a yellow Edge pad, then put down a coat of Vanilla Moose. It looked nice but I really wanted to put down that final layer of S100. I didn't have enough time then though, so I waited a few days until today, washed it again, and started with the S100. Unlike VM, it has to go on in the shade, but other than that I was very pleased with how easy it was to apply. After about an hour in the garage I rolled the car out into the sun and was blown away. This was the best my car had ever looked.
I never fully understood the terms people used to describe their finishes before, but once I saw this combo in person the word "wet" immediately came to mind. It was incredibly slick to the touch and it looked just the way it felt, slippery. I was blown away.
After sufficiently admiring the finish in the midday sun, I dressed the tires in a hurry and ran to get my camera before the weather decided to take a turn for the worse, as it often does here. I went kind of picture crazy but I got in all the shots I wanted before I had to go school.
After completing my obligatory ONE class at school (I'm a Senior and my schedule isn't too full
) I went out to the parking lot with a friend to show him my car. He was pretty impressed and agreed that it looked "at it's peak". There was a huge line of cars waiting to get out of the parking lot and while we were standing in front of my car, a kid in the passenger seat of one of cars stuck in traffic asked me, "Is that your car?" I told him it was, and he asked "But is it your car?" apparently thinking that it might have belonged to my parents like a lot of kids in highschool. I reaffirmed that it was in fact mine and he gave me a thumbs up and said "Looks nice." I thanked him and walked away, quite pleased with myself. After I got home I grabbed the camera again and went on a little tour of a local park, stopping at scenic spots to take pictures along the way. I couldn't get enough shots on a day like this, everything was perfect, sunny but an occasional cloud to let me get a nice picture.
In conclusion: VM+S100 = GOOD.
