Yea, damn Cali weather. Thx bro. VR deserves to shine always. The sun was out the other day and I can't help but stare at it. In a sea of other cars the VR just pops out!

btw: Never noticed it before, but in Fast & Furious (Drift) a VR gets squashed near the end of the flick. Oh the VR-anity! But then, it wasn't as well maintained as Josh's.

Any of you guys ever work on getting those spider web like swirls out of your clear-coat? The ones you see in full sunlight reflection or under a halogen lamp. Meguiar's has the products for it, #105 followed by #205. Aptly named "The Twins". But I've found the clear on our cars to be pretty hard. Not likely you'll have too much luck applying by hand, you'll need a buffer.

But back to the topic, I've enjoyed using Wolfgangs sealant and following it with a coat of Meguiar's #26 (yellow carnauba).

I use SSR 2.5 then 1 or SSR 2 then 1. It depends on the condition of the paint when I do polish it.

^ Ditto. I love Poorboys products. I have not tried those Meguiars products, but I'm sure they would work just as well.

Now if only there was an easy fix to rid the orange peel effect besides a full wetsand of the car.
