I'd say about a 8. Pretty nice job there. What kinda wax did you use?

Well on that day i was lazy and used my quick ice wax. You just spray and buff. If i really wanted a deeper shine i would have used my speed bead from stoner (the people who make invisible glass) i think that is my fav wax but it takes a little longer to do and buff out. So went with my inbetween wax

@99lx looks like a very nice shine. Wished the sun was more out so i could see it sparkle. Give it an 8

This thread would be way better with the following items..

1 - List of your process, products, and tools
2 - Decent Quality pics
3 - Any tips and tricks you may use that others may not.

Both that have posted so far look pretty good. IMO Ice is on the top 5 worst waxes ever, but to each his own.

If Michigan ever thaws, I'll get the suby detailed and get some pics up.
