I tried something a little new today.
First, I washed the wheels and tires with Duragloss 901 car wash, a Eurow sheepskin mitt, and Griot's tire brush. Then, I moved to the paint, which was washed with Griot's Car Wash and a Eurow sheepskin mitt. Once thoroughly washed, I pulled it in the garage and dried completely with a waffle weave.
From there, I added some Red Moose Machine Glaze to the last of my Vanilla Moose and polished the paint using a Lake Country polishing pad via PC on speed 5. The next step is where I tried something a little different - I spritzed Optimum Car Wax over each panel and instead of buffing, I used it as the "spit" and applied Pinnacle Souveran on top using a Zaino cotton applicator. I made my way around the whole car using this method, and then I used Duragloss Aqua Wax like a QD to remove the wax residue. I finished it up by dressing the wells with Armor All and the tires with Zaino Z16 Tire Dressing and an Eagle One Tire Swipe.
The result was a deep, wet finish. I'm not sure it's a drastic improvement over the RMG/Souveran combo, but it was fun to try something different. Who knows?...the look may improve overnight or the next couple of days.
Anyway, here are some direct sun pictures:
