That is an amazing shine. What products do you use? How long does it take you to do one coat of polish and wax? Do you have a thread here already with the steps you do to get it to look like that? I would love to know how to get that kind of shine without swirling the paint.

I use Meguires NXT Gen 2.0 and No7 polish. In my sorry state it takes 3 hrs to complete one job, in my youth 2 hrs tops. For the other question I have 154 coats on the car as of today. You want a super shine be prepared to work

ROTFL ... ok .... then .... 0 .... I have waxed my car zero times in 13 years.

Easy SNAKEBITE ... take it easy .... before you loose it on me let me redeem myself. I'm having my baby painted in the spring. I'll treat her really well after that ... maybe I'll wax her once a year or something!
