Well this is my first post. I love this site. It is so helpful. Well today I washed my Acura TSX and the resulting finish has been an ongoing process I started a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I did the following:
1) Wash with Blue Coral car wash (yes I know it's cheap).
2) Clayed it with Clay Magic.
3) Washed it again.
4) Followed it up with Meguiar's 3 Step Deep Crystal System (paint cleaner, polish, and carnuaba) all done by hand with a terry cloth applicator and removed by microfiber cloths.
The day after this process I allowed the Deep Crystal Carnauba to cure, and then I topped it with one coat of Meguiar's #26 High Tech Yellow Wax.
A week after I again washed the car and topped it with another coat of Meguiar's #26.
Then this past Saturday I washed it again and experimented with topping the #26 with another coat of the Deep Crystal Carnauba to deepen the finish.
Finally today:
1) Cleaned the wheels with Eagle One All Wheel and Tire Cleaner
2) Washed with Eagle One Bucketless Car Wash
3) Dried with leaf blower, and went over with a microfiber.
4) Tires got Black Magic Tire Wet Foam
Finally here's the results of all of this work
These first two have the tire foam still drying on them.
Some reflection shots in the sunlight. The first two in the hood, and the last in the door.
Now some shots with the sun behind the clouds
Another reflection shot out of the sun
Reflection shot of the trunk with the sun behind clouds
Some more shots
