I purchased my car last July in the dead summer. At that time I used Turtle wax ICE liquid wax to put a temporary coat on the front, top and rear of the car (until it cooled off a bit). During Thanksgiving vacation I did a full clay bar and two step sealant process. It turned out nothing short of amazing.


Products used: Meguiar's G1016 Smooth Surface Clay Kit, Duragloss 601 Polish bonding agent, Duragloss 105 Total Performance Polish. I also used Turtle wax ICE liquid wax on the decals, spoilers and plastic trim.


It took me about 9 hours total, lots of elbow grease and a few ibuprofen. :laugh2:


I am extremely pleased with the results and have never seen paint look so good! :grin2:

Looks great! It's amazing how many people don't use clay, but it's the easiest part of the process and can yield huge results.

Nicely done ... looks awesome.

Well worth the effort. looks great

Looks amazing, nice job. I clay barred my B5 SP last week, and couldn't be happier with the result.

What color is it supposed to be its too shiny ha-ha? Looks killer man.

Looks great! I was very impressed with the DG 601 & 105 combo as a sealant. TW Ice is a good spray wax for quick jobs, but Evershine combined with the DG sealant is the real bomb!

typically clay my car twice a year although I missed my fall prep this year....clay is easy and well worth the effort.

...and now it's dirty LOL

Looks spectacular!!!!!!

Did you hand polish it or use a machine. I've been looking for a decent machine because I want to attempt a clay bar and then buff and polish once the snow is gone and warms up a little, the previous owner didn't seem to care much but I can't stand the swirl marks and want a glass like finish like you have achieved. Nice work!

Great job! It looks like a Beautiful, black mirror! :cheers:

Looks great !! You have a lot more skill and energy than
I do, the best thing I can do is never touch the paint on my car and pay someone who knows what they are doing to keep mine looking good

Man that looks really good. I don't see any orange peel? Did you cut the clear coat down? If so, what did you use?

Have you ever been to Griots in Tacoma? It's worth a trip as your close by.

Don't you just love the Duragloss products? I sealed mine with the same as you and it's lasted almost 11 months.

If you want a more reflective look, so the DG sealant, lay a good wax, then apply a layer of Duragloss Track Paw...you won't believe the mirror like finish you'll get
