So this time i've managed to spend a heck of a lot more time on the truck and paid a lot more attention to the body. These pics were taken today which was two days after the truck was finished. Total duration of work spanned three days. Started 10:30pm-2:??am first night. Hour half each day after.

1st day:

Wash down with Glare Auto Wash softened with 1oz ONR using two bucket method
Wheels and fender wells cleaned and scrubbed using P21s total auto wash
Total body microfiber wipedown
OID spray to take off extra dirt and debris as wind and rain were coming down hard that night
Meguairs quick clay to entire vehicle, windows, body, and rims
P21s Paintwork cleanser lotion applied by hand via LC applicator pad

2nd day:
OID spray to take off debris from night rain and wind
Glare microfinish compound applied via PC using LC white pad
P&S Full Throttle polish applied via PC using LC white pad. 1400rpm criss-cross strokes
OID total body wipedown to remove powdering from compounds
Glare advanced polish applied via PC using LC Black pad. Cure time 15mins
Glare auto polish applied via PC using LC black pad.

[B]3rd day:[\B]
OID spray wipedown to remove rain spots and debris from previous day
Einszett Glanz Wax 1st Gen. formula applied by hand. Cure time 10minutes


Here's the results. I couldn't snap photos of the befores as it was night time and my halogen lights I guess couldn't shine the swirls enough to catch on my camera. Plus I was :boreda:sleepa: dozing off on my stool staring at my wheels trying to finish the claying at around 2am as some of my neighbors were driving by thinking I was on crack or something.

Sorry the photos aren't the best of quality. We are having a storm come through and it was starting to drizzle as I took these photos. If we can catch some sunshine, i'll try to get some shots in but we'll see.

Thanks for looking:ranger:...back to your regularly scheduled program

Looks great, but we gotta get some full sun shots :)

How long can you get Glanz to last in HI ? I'd get about 2 months out of it here.

Yea I need to do sun shots when we actually have sun...There is a storm passing through the islands right now again and it's been raining today. This was taken earlier today before I had a catering to do.

The pictures aren't the best of quality as they were taken from my camera phone.

Glanz is the newcomer in my collection, and i've only had it for a few months. So far i've been getting about the same as you around 2-3months. So far I like the wax. I can't complain as I got it for free from PakShak.

I love Pak Shak, he has everything. Are you close to his store or is he on another island? I'd love to go walk around in there.

Truck looks great.

He's on oahu like me. I live probably about 10 minutes away from his shop. I usually go there about once a week or every other week now that he opened up an actual store. I agree that he's a very personable and friendly guy. Always good to talk car care with.

Youre lovin that. We have a place close to us that has all the MF towels and PC pads, but as far as polishes and sealants they only have a bunch of off brand stuff that they sell to scratch and shine drive thru washes.

Next time I come to north shore we'll meet up and go spend some money in there. I'll bring an empty suitcase :)
