Adam's APC plus Adam's Car Wash (4oz/4oz/balance water) use to cut out all the salt and dirt off the car (it can and will strip last steps)

Beading shot of Sonax Polymer Net Shield - this was the test spot from 2 months back I did on the trunk deck - this was beading after the wash/apc mixture.

Sorry no polishing shots, it was a light polish to remove the wash marks.

It makes me happy in a schadenfreude sort of way to see a detailer's car as dirty as mine in the "Before" pictures



Nice work on the "after," as usual.
