Default Fresh Wax Pics!!
Holy crap!! ScratchX works WONDERS!! I used it on my hood, on the back bumper and on the spoiler... It worked this time.. The last time I tried it it was a PITA to get off.

ScratchX
NXT Wax, not applied in swirls...
Detail Spray on the paint and windows (W/ a buffer for all)

Also did the Wheels w/ the PowerBall and Chrome polish. I couldn't find my darn mount for my tri-pod, so a good half of the pics came out like sh*t.. :irk:

Enjoy...

McGuires NXT wax.. Paste.. I'll try Zaneo one of these days..

The NXT really brings the deep color out.. GOtta have my darn hood repainted and the HL's replaced.. Followed my buddy on the HW too close @ 110+ for too long... He's got 555 315's on the back, add in dusty desert roads and it sandblasted my headlights and chipped the f*k out of my hood..

I used the ice wax on my Z and I really liked it. It doesn't turn as white after you put it on so its not as easy to see when you buff it off, but it made the paint on there SOOO smooth. I used the NXT on my truck before and it worked well, but when I used it on the Z it doen't work as well for some reason, so I think I'll use the Ice on the SS when I detail her as soon as I get out of school. It is def worth a try, I liked it a lot plus it doesn't leave the white wax all over.

Btw man your Camaro looks so clean in those pics, good work.
