Prima + Hot Chocolate = Yummy!

Completed my first Prima detailing yesterday. Only 5.5 hours!

Dawn wash, Claybar with Glide, wash, Amigo, Banana Gloss. Black WOW on the trim. I am completely impressed! Before it gets too cold, I think I will get the Epic and kick this up a notch.

What do you think?

LG, I love my PW/B Clubbie, but I gotta say that HC is HAWT!
I love the picture you posted in another thread with the Clubbie in front of the cow. You car was shining its muffler off.

My PW looks great with a coat of Epic, but it just doesn't catch the light like yours!

Beautiful! Nice job! Love the glimmer in the sunshine (and the group hug smiley too, too cute!)

And for some strange reason I'm now craving a cup of hot chocolate and a bar of dark chocolate.

Awesome detailing job! Making me drool~ =D

At the same time however, I have to admit that metallic colors don't shine quite the same as non-metallic paint. Metallic paint are also a PITA when you try to touch up. Making me second guess my NFR choice. >.<

Yes, I had the 3M clear bra installed before I took delivery. I don't know who the dealership used as the installer, but I got my Clubbie from Hendrick MINI in Charlotte NC.

Nice job on the wax. Heard only good things about Banana and Black Wow.
How do you like the Tuscan Leather. Awaiting arrival of BRG with Tuscan.

Thank you.

I absolutely LOVE the Tuscan leather, and it seems to get a lot of compliments from others, as well. It looks smashing with BRG, too!
