WOW. That looks perfect.

Can you tell us the process you used on this one (which polishes & wax/sealants)?

This is the guy who told me to get jetSEAL 109 by the chemical guys. I believe he uses it. I'm not sure if he uses Menzerna as well, but he gave it a thumbs up in another post, so I'm assuming he might?

He's also the guy who got me hooked on the Foam Cannon.

Yep, Menzerna sure does make a difference. I'm hooked on that stuff. My car never had such gloss and depth to it.
