    Hey Detailing Bliss Family! Just got done getting some snow, dirt, salt, etc. off the car finally on this nice winter day we're having. I had to take advantage of the warmer weather since the car looks like crap. I took it down to a power washing station with a bucket to hand wash because who knows how many chemicals are in their "shampoo". Unfortunately, I did not two bucket wash the car being that every stall was full, I tried to move as quick as possible.


    On to the products used:


    - 5 Gallon Bucket with Grit Guard
    - Adam's full size Wash Pad
    - Adam's pH neutral Car Wash Shampoo
    - Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 Optical Select High Gloss Spray Sealant
    - Chinchilla MF for the HV7
    - CG Microfiber Miracle Dryer Towel


    A little background - I did give the car a mild 'winter prep' about a month ago with a full clay bar, hand polish (Adam's Revive Polish), and some Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze. Since I assumed the KHGSG was still in tact, I figured the HV7 would work wonders. I think the pictures explain themselves. Im the MAN Im the MAN


    PS: Don't mind my tires. It's only winter, and as mentioned before, time wasn't on my side at the power wash station so I didn't have time to scrub 'em (same goes for my exhaust tips).

    If you didn't say that was a reflection shot, I would have said..why are you taking photos of the ground? wow, nice work achieving and maintaining a flawless finish on a black car in that region.

    Thanks, Pureshine!

    BigDre, thank you also for the compliments! I've showed my girlfriend and my mom that picture and they both just gave me a blank "I don't get it" stare - not realizing it was just pure reflection. :D

    That looks lovely, nothing like having the only properly clean car on the roads in the winter ;)

    Is it the V7 that made your paint literally mirror finish? I just used prima's hydro sealant and its good but your stuff. ZOMG SEX

    TheRustySuper, SOOOOOO true. Loved showing her off these past couple days. :)

    fellowsdrake, about a month ago, one layer of Klasse HIgh Gloss Sealant Glaze was applied so I expect it to be some of that, and then the V7 just brought it back to life with even more added gloss. :)
