it is still available, but has been replaced by a much more efficient product - the colorx both myself and superbuick have been talking about.

A bad product?? Abslutely not - but for the ultimate in perfection sometimes you need to get more specialized. I used colorX on my Daily driver as of two weeks ago (colorx just came out) and I LOVE it.

ya, it's good stuff. i'm glad a *professional* car detailer also agrees that this stuff is some good stuff

and superbuick, thanks for the compliments also

also thanks for the advice you sent me a while back on removing my swirls. although i didn't take your advice, haha, i appreciate your time writing up that PM to help me out.

Superbuick, thanks for the info.

I'm not 100% sure I'll have the NBM though, hopefully so, but it may sell before the guy buys the truck.

I wouldnt worry so much about it with my truck, as I have always used quality products, but none ever mentioned here. I ran my own detailing/cleaning business for 2 years (more of a wash it off/vac/dust/carpet shampoo than anything) but there arent many people around here that care about full detailing. I also worked at a dealership detailing (i know the horror stories.... they are true... i saw it everyday) I buffed a few cars with swirl remover and mainly applied Flash wax (nearly pure liquidy wax... looked like **** and cream when not shaken) from Malco...

I got some Plum Krazy from them too, its supposed to be a polymer, but its a PITA to take off.

Anyways, I may try the colorx, but depending on how bad it is when i clay it I'll make my choice. I just want perfection.

SuperBuick,

I'd be happy to host some pictures of your car. I'm considering the Menzerna/Blackfire combo based on your advice, so I'd love to see what it can do for black paint. Just email me the pictures you want hosted and I'll put them up.

This is what 2 coats of klasse looks like:

I might have mis-read but what are the actual steps that you took to get that shine? Is that just two coats of Klasse AIO or is it SG or am I missing something. Could you please explain the details. Thanks.

Your car looks incredible in that picuture.
