Best wax job ever

Found this pic on reddit. Wild!

Looks like black... Meanwhile, after uploading the picture he comes back just in time to find his car ready for another re-wax

I have a black car... I stopped detailing it because it was just way too frustrating. For what it's worth, the 5 minutes that it looked like that guy's car was really a delight

It has been a long day. For some reason I thought this thread was going to need a NSFW in the title

White cars aren't far behind!

I just waxed my car this weekend (shamefully for the first time). As i walked out of the store this evening the parking lot lights and the dark sky revealed so much depth to the paint. I had forgotten how good this car looks when dolled up.

Waxing + Space Grey is where it's at:

Bam!
Shameless posting of own car photo complete.

Black reflects nicely too... and vasmir it looks like you've photoshopped that pic, the contrast/brightness levels!

More Zaino for an even deeper shine.

cdeslandes · 09-29-2013, 07:57 AM

That first picture looks photoshoped to me.

haspi · 09-29-2013, 02:36 PM

what type of wax would you guys recommend? is it worth it for white?

BMWZ4RIDER · 10-01-2013, 06:47 PM

Zaino complete system all the way.

I've been using Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba Paste Wax. Looks fantastic, specifically on black cars

Constant.S · 10-01-2013, 10:31 PM

Swissvax on all my cars and motorcycles (gives also an incredible shine on my white Ducati) http://www.swissvax.net/merchant.mvc...ory_Code=WAXES

I finish up my zaino treatment with their acrylic sealant. Very durable finish.
