He wanted me to use a wax he had called "beauty shine" he said it can be layered over and over. I think that`s BS but he paid me $20 to put a second coat on, so I won`t complain lol.

Yesterday was a great day on the set of Competition Ready with a bunch of great guys on the team. Quick tease for you guys. I had won this competition ready hat on a social media giveaway quite awhile ago.

Mike and AJ were kind enough to sign it. It makes a great keepsake in remembrance of this experience. Thank you Mike and AJ :rockon

i never liked those swirls anyways, lol
now after that only the swirled rear bumper remains

but i have to stop and conduct a test to see if i can go from compounding to invincible primer and not lose any gloss compared to compound, polish, then primer
 
Washed this in prep to one step polish tomorrow

You could eat off of those carpets.
Spent the afternoon cleaning the interiors of both cars, then I was able to get a quick wash done on mine before the sun went down.

Beach sand, dog hair and a toddler really takes its toll.




After. Everything was about 95% clean except the trunk. I didn`t spend enough time trying to remove all of the embedded dog hair since I was in a time crunch.




And a quick couple pictures post wash.




And interior before.


After.


Overall a pretty productive day.
 
Getting the hang of my Rupes mini, with

Worked great ! One of my most trusted products.
What didn`t work was

34b44956fa9a40693fa35dea751e70da.jpg


The Britemax left swirls, maybe I need to work it longer,
Twice this has happened, was thinking maybe it`s not
For longthrow use, because it worked fine on an 8mm ??
Or maybe foam use only ??

Sounds like it is just to aggressive of a combo. Try stepping down to a foam pad and check your results. Also remember to use the least aggressive approach first and work your way up in your combo until you get the results you are looking for.
