Default All loaded up for detailing

Well I've got the PC 7424, the 3M Medium cut, 3M Fine cut, 3M Finesse it, Mequiars #83, Mequiars glaze #7, Mequiars NXT and still some Zaino Z2/ZFX.

...now If I just had a free minute to try any of it

Going on third day and 8 hours of sleep between them.

I was able to put a coat of teh NXT on the other day and at first it seemed to stay smudgey, after a day or so it really hardened up and seemed to just get better.

One thing I like about the Zaino is it goes off so fast it never wants to smudge.

Just a suggestion, if you do take pictures. Go to your local camera shop like Ritz and buy a gray card. Make sure to put it in the picture. That card will remain the same color so you can tell color variations better rather than let the camera auto adjust. It also gives you a similar point in each photo for manipulation. For best results for color, focus on the gray card then use that setting for the picture. Just a little photography help if you decide to take pictures.

Thanks,
Chris

Yeah...I'll have time for pictures, NOT!

Last night I worked until 4:00 this morning. Back up at 7:30 and on the road by 8:30. Night before I only worked until 2:30
