Sweet, glad you like it^!

ic, its just a "wax on, wax off" process. Best to do it in the shade on a nice cool day. Or in a garage, whatever, as long as its not in direct sunlight.

loooks gorgeous man off topic question but does anybody else get bumps that are clear on their car that you have to scratch off? I have it all over my windows and paint when I wash it they go away, but it makes the car look like garbage

I got some of that sap on my passenger window, can't get it off. I haven't really tried dif products though, just washing with soap and trying to scrape it off.

Hell yeah. And everytime it starts to fade, take it in for a quick spray, then watch the water bead off and enjoy your shine again

...and people wonder why I'm all about this stuff

You want liquid metal look, try Eagle Wet . My car hasn't been waxed in 6-8 months and I feel is VERY dirty in this pictue

So shiney and WET looking even Tony ( Forty ) asked me what I use. Some Mother's, some Maguire's, some Eagle Wet. Sometimes hard paste, sometimes liquid carnuaba and cleaner, sometimes just the spritzer clear/detailer. I don't go crazy but the car is admittedly babied and garage kept and will be 20 years old in August!

Nah it isn't treesap because after I wash my car they go away, but as soon as I start driving they return...its like thousands of little bumps, could it be too much wax?

Just very carefully scrape it off with a razor blade, then follow up with some Goof Off or Goo Gone (Note: ONLY USE THIS ON WINDOWS)
