Some Quality Time with the Car (Washed, Polished and Sealed)

The last couple weeks have been rough on my paint. Was at my buddies beach house and the sprinkler system went off on my car. When I came out and noticed there were crazy water spots all over. Then we had a hurricane the next weekend which covered my car in bits of leaves and dirt. So today I finally got a chance to give it a proper wash and polish.

I tried two new products out today as well CG EZ Creme Glaze and Blackfire wet diamond. The CG EZ Creme Glaze is incredible stuff. I can't think or another product that's as easy to remove as this and it leaves a crazy slickness to the paint. The Blackfire Wet Diamon was also very easy to use, I love the look so now it will just be a matter of durability to make a final judgement

Products Used

Wash & Clay
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash (used at strip strength)
Uber Wool Wash Mitt
Uber Wash Sponge
ONR (used on door jambs)
Dodo Juice Born Slippy (clay lube)
Uber Fine Clay
Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
Adam's APC (tires)

Polish/Seal
Menzerna 203 w/ Uber Green Pad
Menzera 85RD w/ Uber Blue Pad
Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze w/ Uber Black Pad
Blackfire Wet Diamond w/ Uber Black Pad
