    Water was still beading decently after 4.5 months. Drivers side has FMJ on it and passengers side has Colli 476.

    Tried Riccardo Clay today. Not bad but areas that had alot of fallout needed alot of work to remove. Automagic blue is alot easier to use.

    Even the fuel filler door gets some wax.

    Doesn't everyone put two coats of wax on the underside of the hood?

    Great work! Very reflective and deep. That beading is really tight. Engine looks great!

    Looks great. I can't believe that FMJ lasts that long. I bought a big bottle of it and never used it becuase I heard it was just OK. I might have to bust it out one of these weekends now.

    If you prep the paint properly, and use Menz High Gloss Acrylic Shield you will be quite impressed. I have yet to see FMJ last less than 4 months on any of the cars I use it on.:thumb:

    Love the underside of the hood shot at first I thought it had mirrors glued onto it like the car show guys use.
