After reading the review on MGC and F113, I decided to stop at the local hardware store and get some MGC.. (I'd like to try Zaino and F113, but I'm fairly impatient and had the urge to do some waxing last night)

Anyhow, here's the pic after it was washed and before the wax..


And here are the two after shots.. (was getting late)



and ...



I was very impressed on how well it worked and how easy it was to use..

Anyhow, let me know what you guys think..

Cheers,

Nice, but is it a Firbird with Formula decals or a Formula with ground effects?

Yea yea I know.. The people who owned it before put those decals on... It's just a well optioned Firebird.. (missing AC only I think)

Cheers,

Looks great, MGC is a very good product.

That is a cool picture where you can see your Camaro in the reflection. I didn't even know you had a bird, nice car

wow looks great, i might have to try that stuff.

the stuff works awesome , i love the shine it gives.

damn! looking niiiiiice. i like how you got the same shot for the comparison.. sure helps to give us a clear view of the difference. nice car.

Thanks guys.. It looks even better in the sunlight.. It was getting dark by the time I was finishing up..

I'll never go back to the $6 (like $2 US.. har har) bottles of wax lemmie tell ya..

Cheers,

Let me ask you guys a question. I tried this wax and it looked great when I first put it on, but it ended up turning white and leaving swirl marks. Any of you have any tips to avoid this? I'm thinking of stripping the wax and starting over, either that or getting some zaino. It gets really hot here and I have yet to find a wax that would last longer than a month or two in this heat.

hot in LA? haha come to FL :lala:

Swirl marks are tiny little scratches, usually caused by not using 100% cotton when washing or waxing.

IROCThe5.7L: that's not your *Black* camaro is it?? hard to tell with the blue from the sky filling the reflection

Holy geez! lol

:hail:

my gf doesnt belive me that the reflection is off your car... that is why tomorrow im getting some and waxing my car before nats... I might clay bar it... anyone know how long that would take to claybar a whole car?

very reflective stuff. Without trying to catch a reflection(on the side with no sun)... The 60 Cad Coupe Deville has MGC as well--my Great Aunts Cad in original mint

Holy crap, very nice... cant wait till my TA is painted and ready to shine like that

damn irocthe5.7l that has to be the cleanest iroc i've ever seen. I don't even see any swirl marks :hail:. Whats ur secret. i have hella swirl marks and my paint is 2 months old. Also how to get the swirl marks off

Maguires 3 step 'deep crystal' I think it's called, got rid of all my swirl marks. I'm not sure if it's available anymore. Make sure you use a good 100% cotton towel.

Good lookin cars everyone. It's hard to get a good reflection picture with a bright red car, but here is the best I could find of my car after a fresh coat of MGC.

I hear ya josh! I really wana try this 3 stage thing!! looks like im gunna be going to strauss to pick up some stuff... what are the 3 levels? If they dont have it, maybe ill get mothers 3 or 4 step thing. Then ill do the AA 12 step!! hehehe

I washed, clay barred, washed again, and waxed my car last week. The clay bar by far took the longest and was very hard to do. In this weather, I had sweat pouring off of me. It took me about 2 hours to clay bar the car and it was a *****. Definitely turned out a lot better than just plain washing and waxing. Here's a pic.

Doh, didn't work, try again.
