Thank you!
It's pretty decent actually, I got a killer deal at wally world a couple years ago that I just bumped into. Selling them for $15 a pop, I cleared em' out
Seems to have good staying power and a nice clean glow.
Both the wax's you mention are great, typically any carnuba based wax is worth a shot in my book, I am a fan of paste wax myself.
I hope Brian can get us a couple pics in the sun

It's tough to take good pictures of cars, something I'm still learning.
I know the color looks awesome, when you get the other camera spend some time just before dusk or after dawn and get a nice spot with the sun mostly to your back (without seeing your shadow) and you should get some good ones.
Heres a couple tips.
Use a tripod if you have one.
Set the aperture to f/16 and set the shutter speed about the same as the iso, lower number if you can keep it stable, I find if you can shoot from a shady spot it sometimes makes a difference.
You might get some nice retina popping colors

Its gonna be a crazy summer,
Our weekends are already jammed up till mid June. (Mostly non detail stuff though), then July + is looking better.
Pretty much 1st come 1st serve, but we do got a buddy that has a ton of work lined up for us, but not sure how we will manage all of it at this point.
I've never done a jet ski or even a bike for that matter yet. I'd have to do my homework on a jet ski.

You will get a few weeks outta it depending on exposure and washing, tough to find anything that can make it permenant. Good stuff though we use it on tires as well and under the hood on plastics and rubber. (I apply it with a fine sponge)
