    Finally cleaned/polished/waxed my 997S...

    Detailed with:
    P21S carwash
    Clay
    Menzerna FP II polish
    Menzerna Final Glaze
    Menzerna FMJ wax
    Waynestowels's MF







    Nothing really spectacular. I just really like GT silver.

    Great color. Nice "wet look" on the finish too.

    Did the polishing result in a System Fault?

    LOL! Actually that is got to be one of the most annoying gremlins without an official fix as yet. So far, fingers crossed, I haven't had any...

    Thanks for the pics. Beautiful. Just get out a lawn chair and watch the color change with the light during the day.

    That's the great thing about metallic paint, especially the GT silver.

    You mean you hadn't washed your car since you got until now?

    Great looking car.

    I've tried a bunch of stuff, but I keep coming back to Lexol for leather and 303 for everything else.

    i really like lexol too, it sure seems like clay is super popular... i dont think its necessary unless you have paint overspray or major stubborn containamates (sp!) on the paint... but i would just rather use my 3m adhesion remover to take the stubborn stuff off... clay is scarey!

    good job i LOVE!!! GT silver, its amazing!

    I think clay is pretty easy to use, especially the new polyclays. Just be liberal with the lubricant...
    Thanks for the kind words...
