Used Meguairs Diamond Cut 2.0 followed by Meguairs showroom glaze, completed with Mequairs Yellow Tech Wax.

Not super cheap stuff but it sure works.

If anyone is looking for a new polish/wax combo the Meguairs Showroom Glaze and the Meguairs Hi-Tech Yellow wax is hands down the best stuff I've ever used.

Just done the front,back, and one side and what a difference. The one side not done almost looks pink in comparison to the other panels.

wow ok I have a 138 zinno car like yours. my mirrors are worse than yours.

I have similar products. I have turtle wax polishing compound, and scratch x.

I have a drill and bonnet. I have 3m show glaze. what I dont have is something like the yellow wax. is there anything special about the wax or is it just what keeps the finish there.



let me know in detail what im going to do to get my finish like yours.
As you can see, one fender has a brand new paint job.

Looks great! Just remember that there really is no clear coat still, so the process that will lead them to look like that again will be accelerated.
