![]() I love the 50/50 I did a test about a month and a half ago on my car with #16, 50/50, Petes 53 and Lusso Oro!! The 50/50 and #16 are still beading water like the day I put them on the 53 is next and the lusso oro is on the bottom! ![]() But anyways, LOOKS GREAT MAN!! I really like the trim on the interior, did you use anything special on it? Do you use #21 on the wheels? How does that work? I use Klasse AIO (cleaner and slight protection) Are you using the paste or liquid? Last edited by oneshare325; 04-21-2008 at 12:21 AM.. |

Wow, nice! Mirror like reflections! I didn't know you could put EZ creme over Jetseal?
Interior looks great as well. I just tried 1Z cockpit premium on my car. I like it better than 303. Same protection, anti static and leaves no gloss at all. OEM matte. Give it a try, I think you'll like it.

There's not much I like more than a freshly detailed black car. Great job!

most wheels i use it, it just speeds up my time, and most details i do have very bad brake dust on the wheels. these wheels still had some of that shipping sealant on them, so only straight wheel brightener would take it off! 21 works good on the wheels! |

With really bad water-spots I would not recommend this technique. Mind you water-spots are caused mainly by calcium build-up. Calcium build-up under a microscope looks like little sand monocles. If you do not take all of the calcium build-up off before you polish, you can end up causing more damage by causing even more swirls and scratches. TAW will not remove all the build-up form a water-spot. To ensure you have cleaned as much of the water-spot as possible before polishing I would recommend a product like CG water-spot remover, or a mixture of vinegar and distilled water.
Sure, some water-spots/acid rain leave etching and the only way to correct this is to polish. But you still should remove all the particles of the water-spot itself before polishing to ensure you are not causing more damage. For really minor water-spots it is not a big deal, but for larger and heavier water-spots it is a must. I have seen some really bad horror stories and it just ended up in taking way too much clear off to completely correct the mistake.

I know chemical guy waterspot remover is a dedicated product but why buy that when you can mix your own bottle of vinegar and water 1:1. I have been using vinegar and water to remove water spots for years. It works just as well as other dedicated products I've used (Duragloss water spot remover), and sure as hell beats taking out an AIO type product to remove spots I may get that don't come off from a wash.
