Looks Awesome! I've used that product before with great results but I'm sure the detailer gurus here will say Meguiars is junk LOL! I've watched and seen many threads here regarding waxing and detailing a car and they put some crazy time and effort and the cost of some of the products used is crazy expensive!

you are correct, It should not take too much to get a good shine if your paint is good. took me an hour the most to complete this.

WTF .... an old T Shirt ? A 2 sided Microfibre glove would make your paint happier (less swirl marks). Avoid using it around the underside of your wheel arches and lower side of skirts though.

Yeah but that shirt can cause swirls in your finish. There's a reason u use microfiber towels.

I find that a nice cotton shirt drys way better, absorb the water way better, and get wax off easier also.

They swirl way better too.

Geez man, if you're going to go through the time to do it, do it right for crying out loud. A t-shirt? Are you kidding me? No!

No. It's a wax you put on while drying the car.

Check online. Just google it for a distributor close to you. The guy who distributes it in Canada is down the street from me. It's not on the shelf. He supplies dealers and detailers.
