Pics of my Van
So I decided to give my van a good clean and Wax the weekend.
Here are a few pics of the end result.
Waxed it with BlackFire Midnight Sun paste Wax.
applied using the Meguiars G220.
Buffed the residue off using a clean Black finishing Megs Pad and the G220 again.

RE: Pics of my Van
Stunning, you have re kindled my desire for one of these Caddys. The myriad of drab white ones I see on the road, killed it for a while, but seeing yours again, I know I need one of these, preferably in black as well, or at least a dark colour.

Looks flippin awesome man.

Brilliant Vincent - your van looks better than the official Meguiars Caddy.

RE: Pics of my Van
It took a whole days work on sunday... Got the new G220 V2 and was dying to put it through it's paces... Really enjoyed working with it.

Also was trying out a few methods on applying Wax on a black car... something i really struggle with. I always seem to get what looks like holograms from residue not wiping off properly. Or at least thats what it seems to me.

So I used the G220 to Apply the wax... Waited 10 mins then used a Megs Black Finishing pad to buff off the residue. Worked pretty well i thought...

Enjoyed it so much I ended up applying about 3 or 4 layers of wax on the car by the end of the day... ha ha ha - Total overkill.

Also tried the famed 'spit polish' waxing method... sprayed a light mist of water on the panel then waxed it... then again sprayed water and waxed again... not sure if this made much difference but I just enjoyed playing around.

Not often I get to spend this kind of time on my own car.
And not often that I walk up to my car in a parking lot and think to myself 'DAMN that looks good'
I find myself thinking that a lot since sunday.
