Don`t have kit but I tend to be a bit impulsive with this stuff...Memorial Day sales impending I`d guess.
Did snatch up some Kamikaze Infinity Wax today on a whim.

If there is a weight difference, it is offset by the reduced drag........

Started this today. This paint is pretty bad. Lots of RIDs that I`m not chasing. Getting what I can out with a two step correction. Using Meg`s MF cutting pad on a MK2 15 and LC MF cutting pads on the mini. Using "The Last Cut" compound from a guy out in Las Vegas. There is some clearcoat failure on the right rear quarter panel.
After shot of just the compound on the rear quarter and hood

Well took my truck to work today after the problems i had the other day trying to top CSL with EXO and now out in the sun I cant find any of the high spots i saw just after applying earlier this week. Was I to quick to judge the high spots did they just need time to totally cure or did I just think I saw them I am at a loss for explanations. Now what I am wondering is can I try to do more exo on the panels I didn`t do this week even though I already put C2V3 on top of CSL on the rest the car.
Today, I cringed at innumerable poor car washing practices. My daughter`s girl scout troop was doing a car wash fundraiser, and I got to be an adult supervisor.
Dog bone sponges and cheap ass soap was the order of the day, as well as dish towels for drying! My daughter was the only one using a legitimate drying towel. The worst offense I saw was one mother and a number of the girls scrubbing the cars dry!
My daughter did give some of the other girls washing and drying tips, which was adorable. On the bright side they earned a ton of money, and had a lot of fun, so that`s what really counts!
I also did a quick detail on my scooter so she`s looking good once again!

It feels like it`s been a long day. We coated the wheels on this bike, fairings already done:
We prepped these two cars for sale. Owner decided they weren`t going to sell the Benz after they saw it cleaned up:

Spent the weekend bringing some heavily oxidized paint on an 08` Kia Optima that daughter uses for to/from high school.
- Washed with CarPro iron X foam and clayed vehicle.
- Polished with Boss`s Fast Correcting cream on a 5" Megs DFC5. Multiple passes on hood, while 2 on hood and trunk and just once elsewhere.
- Used CarPro eraser to prep for coating
- used two coats of CarPro C.Quartz ceramic quartz (used for first time and happy with ease of application and results.
Very happy with results on this almost 200k mile vehicle that was very much neglected when we purchased it. Will look good for her remaining year next year.

I`m finishing up one of these today in red. Paint was super hard and has some issues. I have some videos of the rear decklid and it looks like the paint is shrinking into the fiberglass
