Just finished taking some pics of an GMC Envoy I have been detailing today, I have the whole weekend to accomplish it so I'm just taking my time on it now. So far I have the exterior cleaned. Washed with Meguiars Gold Class, then used the Mother's Clay Bar, and topped it off with VM. Cleaned the windows with Stoners Invisible Glass and cleaned the trim up with the Stoners Trim Shine.



I will be topping the exterior off tomorrow with S100.



Here's a few pics.

Aurora, I'm curious why you applied VM yet plan to top with S100. Since you've clayed, there's no benefit from the VM cleaners, and it doesn't work as a "protective" coat since S100 lasts longer. Neither would you find an increase in shine, as the S100 is what's on top.
 
Well, the VM was to take care of some very very faint scratches, and a couple scuff marks here and there. Worked wonderfully. Problem is, the VM has some wax in it, but the S100 will give a bit more durability.

I think the tires look fine myself. I mean hell they look clean enough to eat off of as it is so no complaints from me. Sure, a coat of dressing would dress them up a bit (uh.. pun intended... how profound!) but they're a-ok as is. ;)
 
I wouldn't skip the VM, it seems to add some depth to the S100 shine, maybe it's just me though. BTW the tires look fine to me.

It isn't just you. I think VM adds depth to S100 also. In fact, it looks damn good by itself in those pics. I know for a fact that VM will bead water for at least 2 months based on my own testing of a black Expidition I wash weekly that is parked outside in the sun during the day.
 
I noticed the VM protected very well too on my own vehicle. I used just VM on my car last time I did it and it beaded water for about 2 months or so. Better than the S100 did for my personal vehicle.



I still haven't figured out why it won't stay on my car. I am getting real good protection for a while on a couple other cars I detail regularly. One in fact is still beading after 3 months.

It's official name is Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze. It contains the same petroleum based wax that is in Moose Wax.
