Cleaned up the SHO

[SHO-TYM]

Man... I spent a little while washing my car and really getting into the little cracks and crevasses. This thing is so glossy it's almost like camouflage. Haha. Just thought I'd share a couple pics.

Nice of you to share   It really does look AMAZING!  Any specific products or process that gets you there?

Thanks guys. It makes it really easy to maintain all my cars and my bike when my best friend owns www.trushine.net . As soon as I bought the car, he takes it for a 12 hour paint correction. We worked on it until there are zero swirls or scratches. Then he puts a coating called "Ameri-coat", a top coat that stays for years to where you don't have to wax your car at all for many years. It also helps prevent bird etching, and hard water spots. So when it's time to wash, I get my 5 gallon bucket with grit guard in the bottom, a 100% sheep skin wash mit, and my Karcher electric pressure washer with foam cannot attachment. I spray all the loose dirt off, and then foam the car with wash solution, and then I wipe gently with my sheep skin mit, then I rince thoroughly,  and then dry using a 3 microfiber towel method. Start by drying the windows first, this helps prep the towels to absorb water off the paint. First towel is to get the majority of the water off and then the second to get the next little bit, and then the third is to get a truly spot free dry. Then I used meguiers spray tire shine on the tires and the flat black plasti dipped wheels followed up by a disposable microfiber cloth to prevent any running of the product. Turned out amazing. My buddy is the king of paint correction and clear bra installation. So check his website out for some great write ups and tips.

Do the neighbors complain about the bright, eye piercing, source of light emitting from your driveway?

Car looks even better in the sun!  Americoat is gaining acceptance among some of the top detailers I know.  Getting great results, and not too expensive either!

yea, I have always used opti-coat on all my other vehicles, and my buddy cut me a really good deal on the americoat since I agreed to be his test subject with the product. He wanted to see a real world black car with the coating and see how it reacts.... time will tell

Not to detail the thread, but what could one expect from an Americoat coating on an existing, poorly conditioned finish?
I know it isn't a permanent coating. But, say, if I wanted to coat a patina'd pickup truck with Americoat, in lieu of clear coat...
Any opinions on that?
