FINALLY had enough time and energy to say F the heat and washed the RS yesterday. OMG the humidity was brutal!
I'm leaving for a work trip tomorrow so I will come back to a shiny car [thumb]

Did a second coat of Reload today. This thing is really great at repelling dust.

Not the RS, but picked up a detail job over the weekend...

Did a friend of a friend's 1992 MK2 GTI:



LOL- I like the RS looming in the background [rofl]

And I gave the Escape some love:

That MK2 looks flawless.
Sadly it's pretty rough. But I did the best I could. It just really needs a new paint job.

I did use a new AIO I just bought and I'm pretty impressed with it. Not sure on longevity yet.

Great job [MENTION=132]GhostRS[/MENTION], have you tried any new products lately?
I have!
I just used Meguiars Ultimate Polishing Wax and love it. It's an AIO and has a pretty good cut to it.
Also is a great price point at $17.99? Can't beat that in my book.
Not sure of longevity yet to the protection part of it as I just used it but time will tell. I used it on that MK2 I just detailed. I plan on using it on the Escape for winter prep.

Tried that before, its a good product but doesn't seem to last very long.

Maybe I didn't apply it correctly or doesn't work well on my clear bra but it didn't seem to bead as well as Carpro Reload.
I was under the impression it's a new product... I think it's a new formula on D166.

[MENTION=132]GhostRS[/MENTION] is that a one-stop application or do you need to apply anything else on top?

So I have another detail job this Saturday... 2017 2 door White JK Wrangler so this thing should take no time and be a piece of cake. I will post some pics from the job once I'm done.

They are in good hands. Wish you live closer so you can do mine.
