New vehicle wax??

Picture of hood from passenger side looking down.

I use Deep Reflections ultra high gloss liquid wax applied with an orbital buffer and Turtle Wax black detailer. Car was repainted in December 2010 with single stage.

Camera lens isn't that great.

626gn--Your car, wheels and tires look great. What tire black do you use? I like the flat black, not gloss look.

TurboDave--Great reflection and sharpness.

Tire dressing is CarPro PERL http://www.pakshak.com/car-pro-perl-coat-plastic-rubber-protectant-500ml.html Its' my current favorite because its water based and can be used on plastic, rubber, and leather. It's also diluteable depending on the level of shine you want. It doesn't last as long on tires as a solvent based product but at least it doesn't dry out the rubber...All solvent based products tend to give that really glossy look.

Thanks. I may have to try that.

I used to use Zaino now I use BlackFire Wet Diamond. I don't really see a differance between the 2 and the BlackFire is just 1 coat. When I first did my car with BlackFire I couldn't get the car cover on by myself, it's that slick.
My car probably has more polish and sealant on it than paint

Totally agree. BFWD is my current favorite especially on a black car and the slickness is insane, like you said. Way easier to apply with same or better results, imo.

Here is what I did after attending a paint buffing class at Eastwood. Wet sanded with 5000 grit. Norton Ice with blue pad. Norton Ice with white pad. Then Griots orbital buffer orange pad and Griots swirl remover. Then I used a Griots red pad to apply their wax. Everything came out perfect.

I kept the car sprayed with water with a little soap in it while buffing with the Ice. This is not the Turtle Wax Ice.
