Hope you enjoy

I did. Enjoy I mean!!

Nice work..... with good process. Products are not to bad either.

I think I recognize the car in the yard as a past test bed for products that you use.
 
Those reflection shots are wicked. Especially the one with your daughtor, it looks like a mirror! How's the orange peel? It doesn't look like there is any. It's about time we get the good weather in the North East.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Yeah Kirk that is the old test bed and it is out of focus but in the shot with my daughter the taurus is still there also :lol:

Budman, the OP isn't that bad (suprising) I notice it more on the back bumper, but that may have to do with the different type of paint that they use on flexible areas :hmmm:

Steve the Alero is fun to drive, the interior is tighter than the Taurus, but the sports suspension and sun roof make up for the lost interior space :D
I just wish it did a little better on milage, I'm only pulling in the low 20's :(

got a chnce today to finish her off.
A second layer of EX-P then topped with Pinnacle signature then gave it a quick go over with Pinnacle Crystal Mist just for that extra some thing.

Hope you enjoy I know I had fun doing it.

I enjoyed the new pictures. I appreciate the work involved but my favorite was the last picture.
The pink flowers on the tree with the lake back ground evokes pleasants thoughts for me.

Would be interested in your comments on the signature series paste wax. Compare it to other well known products that I am sure that you have used.
 
Kirk, that park is only a few blocks from my house, and it is a very peaceful place to go. Actually the lake continues to run to the canal across the street then right out into the Long Island sound...but enough of the park, on to the wax.

It's the older signature series wax not the series II that is out now, but I do like the look if gives the car.
It almost feels a bit gritty when you pick it up on the applicator but it goes on nice and smooth.
2 Things that I have learned is to apply it very thin, and use as a WOWO product. I let it set a bit and it required bit of extra buffing, but that was due to me, and not the product, I might be inclined to try the signature II to see if I like it as well.
I also like topping it with the Crystal mist, thats another product that I think doesn't get enough attention either.
A bit pricey but once again, it's worth it on occasion.

Oh and I just noticed that the series II is on sale now, maybe I ill have to pick up a container to try it out. :)

All of the Pinnacle products have shown respectable results in my testing. The thing that I find just a little hard to swallow is the price which should equate to a better longer lasting product.

Although I did like Crystal Mist and another Pinnacle product, Liquid Souveran, the Pinnacle paste waxes did not give the WOW that I was looking for compared to what I paid for them.
 
Sorry to jack a thread, but a big :bigups for Pinnacle's Crystal Mist. I did an oil change on my sister-in-laws silver Saturn last night and I decided to wash it for her. When I was done the car had no pop so I was going to just give it a quick wipe down with PB's Spray and Gloss. Then I remembered that I won some Crystal Mist from Autogeek( :thanks ) so I figured what the heck, and man did it do a nice job.Easy to use, nice shine and great metallic pop. My sister-in-law thought I detailed it for her.
