Since the dealer did a crappy job waxing my new car (white stuff everywhere) I decided to do it myself and see if I could do a better job.
First of all if you have a hangover go wax your car. My hangover went away after 2 hours of buffing my baby up!
I really enjoyed myself making the car look tidy and new again. This car has so many interesting lines on it that are barely noticable but you see them when your busy working on it.
First I washed the car, gave it a turtle wax treatment (didn't have anything else) and then gave it a turtle wax highgloss treatment.. The car shines so bright that it almost looks as if it is wet. After that waxed the rims and gave the tires a teflontreatment so they look nice and black again. Gave the windows a Rainshield treatment (not the frontwindow because I get streeks of the windshieldwipers if I do that). Polished the exhaustpipes with chromewax and finished it of by vacuumcleaning the car.
It was a 7 hour job but hey the results are really worth it.
After that I took it for a little spin that ended up in a 45 minute drive looking at all the windows that I passed to see a glance of my shiny new car!!
I'll make some pictures and post them later.

Couldn't resist posting this one.. The car is like a cameleon and takes over the color of the wall were it is parked next to.
! now you need to spend another hour or so to clean your parking stall 
. oh, do you mind to wash and wax mine next time when you are in hawaii 
?
