So who said Pepper White can't shine!

Washed then clay, and Menzerna polish with a FLEX Rotary, then topped with Swissvax with bare hand, sorry only picture I had that shows the depth and how wet the paint looks. Did a canyon run right afterwards and the car is dirty again! Time for another detail! :grin:

Not ME !! I said it doesn't reflect like a darker color... and it doesn't.

But *THAT* is one clean and shiny PW and you got as much reflection as humanly (or machinely :lol:) possible from PW.

Nicely done, and in the middle of winter. :thumbsup:

:lol: winter. SoCal. roflnuk :lol:

:lol: :lol: Didn't notice that.

I take it back.... no bonus points for detailing in winter. In fact, we're going to reduce points for not driving over to Colorado to prove a point. :razz:

lol! tuff crowd tuff crowd. :lol:

looks great alpha! it's got very high resolution shine. :nod:

Hey, Ken, it's not a tough crowd, it's just that I think PGT can't get over the fact that I decided not to sell him my wheels anymore :lol:

Nice , really nice. I like your license plate over there, too.

It's January and you are applying wax and doing canyon runs? Makes me wonder why the heck I don't live in LA! :eek2:

:lol: It's great to live in Los Angeles, and your able to almost have a constant weather year round, though it might be a bit colder in the wintertime, but none the less, great weather I really enjoy living out here :thumbsup: Here is more information about the canyon run! https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=123099

stunning! :thumbsup:

wanna clean mine up for me?

I am highly jealous.

alpha- told ya. :grin: :lol:

mine shines BETTER!! :razz:
kidding. pw only shines REAL nice at certain angles and with a certain amount of sunlight on it.
i wanna paint my arches. after i do. it'll probably even shine more. i cant wait. :grin:

alpha, so are you going to let everyone in on your secret? :grin:

can't get that level of shine with just any ol' wax. :no:

Swissvax Onyx, I was told not to go with Swissvax Concorso because on lighter colors, it'll look the same. I did the side black pillar things with Concorso to see how it was though! :grin:

see, carnauba wins. :lol: :razz:

30% brazilian carnauba by content. apply by hand. ~$80 a container.

now everyone knows why i dont use polymer on my hobby cars. :razz: :wink:

Concorso is even more expensive, :grin: Is it me or does detailing make your car look better than doing exterior mods?:lol:

I like using carnauba too :nod:

actually on a car like yours that's already sporting nice wheels, ext
mods are probably not necessary. :razz:

If you have a PW/B I advise you not to paint your arches, if it's PW/PW it's a different story, MAYBE :grin: You'll lose out so much contrast of the car if you paint the arches. I was going to do that, but I realized painted arches only look good on some colors, if you paint the arches on the PW/B it'll just look werid, don't believe me? Go find some pictures of different colored with painted arches, a few Pepper White with painted arches and a Pepper White without painted arches, and show your friend see what they think :nod: But don't get me wrong, I love Pepper White MINIs with painted arches, but in my opinion, I think they look better without the arches painted!

Did I mention I just put some WheelWax on the entire wheel even the barrel :lol: we'll see how that works out, I have heard mixed opinions about Wheel Wax. Whatever happened to those SSR Comps? :confused:

ive not tried wheelswax but ive got good results from WheelShield from DP.
that with Hydro after each wash has tremendously helped in keeping my
wheels clean. :nod:

my comps? i thought i already mentioned... i sold them to a local buddy
who races civics (he has like 3 race cars) for scca. he bent one of his
and was looking for a set + replacements. noone else really had the
16x7.5' in my area. :razz: im back to OE-style now. :nod:

Should have tried to make your EX-L SCCA ready as well :sad: Are you rolling on the R90 or what are those in your sig? I was never able to tell, time to hop onto TireRack to look for them! :lol:
