Okay it quit raining and I got the PT all covered in S100 It started getting dark outside when I was finishing up so no pictures until tomorrow. Now watch it rain tonight I always have to go take it out for a short cruise whenever I get done cleaning and waxing so I went to Sonic and wouldn't ya know it had to drive through a big puddle in a pothole. Seems like that crap always happens right after I clean it. Oh well it looks VERY nice and shiny with the S100
Thanks Sci Fi for turning me onto this miracle wax.

OK all you shiners out there, how long does it take you to wash, clay bar, wax, s100... You know all that stuff!!??!!

I don't have a whole lot of time for this. Next question... are you doing this all by hand or using a buffer?

Just to hand wash & dry my car takes me at least 3 hours!! I spend probably almost 1 hr just on wheels & wheel wells.

I do mine all by hand. I washed and dried the car in about 45 minutes today. Use Meguires Deep Crystal wash and The Absorber to dry it. I had polished it last time and didn't really need to this time so I just waxed it with S100 and it took about another 45 minutes. I didn't get to clean the inside yet but that usually takes me about 30 minutes. Haven't ever used the claybar yet. Whenever I polish with Mothers Reflections it takes about an hour extra. So total time if I do everything is about 3 hours. I'm considering going back to the Harley Dealer and getting that S100 gloss enhancer stuff but damn the car looks so shiny now I can't imagine it doin any thing to make it shinier.

I'm going tomorrow to the local Harley dealer to pick up some S100. If it ever stops raining I will get to use it on my PT. I can't wait to see the results. Looks good on the PT's posted here.

Well I bought mine yesterday, and wouldn't you know it ~ THUNDERSTORMS!

I also bought the Detail & Wax spray for "quick touch ups"! I will get it done between rainstorms sometime soon! LOL Seems like it's going to rain every other day this week.
