Dave - I'm a big fan of the Blackfire twins and the "Fire over Ice" approach (Ivory Carnauba over Paint Sealant). Although in this case I decided to go with 2 coats of the paint protectant and skip the wax.

The sealant is an absolute breeze to use. A little goes a long way, it goes on easy and comes off even easier. The finish it leaves literally feels silky.

The carnauba wax method is a little different to the norm. The wax is applied as per normal, but it is not left to haze before buffing. Simply apply with the foam applicator and then buff off immediately.

Owner was very happy with the outcome. He recently bought the car from his mother for a ridiculously low price and is planning to sort out a few minor issues and the detail has bumped the general condition of the car up a level.

As a VC employee, a***a is a banned word in our house much to my daughter's dismay.

If this forum had an OOC thread, this would be a definite inclusion.
