Last time for a while I promise

Well I finally did it. The new car has 17.9 kms and tonight I applied the 18th coat of polish/wax. That my friends is a nice split 1 km=1 coat. The best number in the past was the 05gt at 40 kms=1 coat. I forsee the new car having a split of approximately 5-6 km to 1 coat. The next post on this subject will be when I hit 100 coats which should be in roughly 5-6 months. Peace out. There will be many posts just not on this subject.

No way. It will sit in the garage until mid-Apr at a bare minimum. Put number 20 on this afternoon.

Interesting on the crack thing. I polish 10x more than I wax. Polish=no build up, wax=build up. I almost went after a Bullitt but decided on the Gt500 for the name and hp. I kinda dig your colour

Actually I used the Meguairs Clay Bar System last summer in addition to the twelve coats of wax. I will probably clay bar it again once we get some reasonable weather..hmmm that might be in late May.

Snakebite.... If I came into the city and had you do a "lesson" on car waxing - would you be up for it?

I hope you've detailed that engine bay once or twice in between coats of polish
