More pics to come tomorrow if I can get them. Will probably top with P21S.

I couldn't find any difference between Polylack and Carlack. Both are great.

Polylack Acrylic Wax is very thin and watery.

I applied thinly over the entire car with a foam pad, using about 8-10ml. What was interesting was that after application it seemed to dry and became invisible. This made removal (30 minutes later) extremely easy since I couldn't even see the residue in the first place. Just went over with a microfiber and that was that.

I won't make any comparisons, Polylack has a nice shine and wet look. Not the deepest sealant, but with a few more layers that should improve.

EO have nice products for decent prices.

Sonus SFX-3 and SFX-2 are alright. Didn't dust much, more like clumping. I still prefer Poorboys SSRs.

Lake Country pads are excellent. I thought the concave shape was weird but it worked well, a lot better than I expected.
 
Ugh you guys get the Skyline damnit.



I would have thought that they would have more aggressive breakes though.



Great job!
 
For those that don't know, that model of Skyline's been discontinued. We get the current model here in the US, but they call it the Infiniti G35.

I prefer red and black myself, but anyway, you said something similar last time as well. :p
