Ahhhhh, fresh coat of wax

I decided to try a different wax to see how well it worked. I like the results and it's not some insane priced wax or polish. It doesn't hide the fine scratches as well as I would have liked, but I'm happy with the results. The paint doesn't look too bad for a 15-25 year old paint job!

Meguiar's Hi-tech yellow wax #26. I heard quite a few people said it worked great on dark color cars so I figured it was worth a try. With a little more prep I think it would look awesome.

I was just thinking about that. I can't take decent pictures at all and my camera isn't anything special either. I'd really like to get some good pictures of both cars so it would really depend on when and where.

#26 is good on darker cars. It actually does do a little fill in with the paint to make it look great. Holds up decent but will need to be reapplied once it gets scrubbed away little by little.

Looks great.
