loved that wet-mirror finish product. its pictured on my roof in a photo above


all in all very satisfied with the products i picked up at Pauls shop

the wash worked well and he gave me a pump for it so all you need is one pump's worth of product, no guessing by trying to pour out a proper amount from a huge container.

i used my existing clay bar but with the blue speed shine that i bought. the speed shine did work great and i like the nozzel on the sprayer because you can twist/dial it in for a finer mist than the typical detailing sprayers which are just on or off spray. i used the speed shine to wipe down inside the engine bay and it worked great

i then used the Griots fine hand polish. i used to use meguiers, but this stuff seemed to spread easier and it got "cakey" a bit quicker. i like it but i had to work in smaller sections compared to the other polish i used.

i bought two red applicator pads from paul and used one with the wet-mirror finish and the other with the Poorboys wax. i had never used wax out of container before, usually the liquid megiuers stuff . it was different at first but it went on easier and didnt drip all over os splatter. it has a great smell to it too. i did two coats on the horizontal surfaces and one coat on the other panels. i will be applying a coat to my new wheels when they arrive too.

the satin CG tire shine is great. i went with satin instead of full gloss because i wanted the tires to look natural and not too flashy. i only did a basic job on the current tires just because the wheels will be swapped out soon.

the interior cleaner worked well. used it on the dashboard, door panels, center console and trunk plastics with success and no mess and no greasy after-feel

i also had about 20 microfiber rags that were used up after this whole detailing session, so i put them in the washing machine with the towel cleaner i bought from paul and they came out like new.

i was also a big fan of the new wash-towel which seemed to hold suds and be versatile during the wash session.
