    with a white, car, if anyone can give me tips on that, PLEASE DO!!


    This is a return customer of mine, I used to just wash and do
    the interior of his car, he wanted to wait till summer to really get
    a good detail in, so we finally got his car over to my place, and I went
    to work, He dropped this AMAZING car off at 7pm and picked it up
    2 pm the next day, so over night, I did the wash, wheels, wheel protectant,
    convertible top, top protectant and clay bar. DAY 2, wash, compound, and
    2 step polish, wax.

    Does the Ardex tire shine have any "fling" issues. Looks very wet, but I was curious as to how it bonds to the tire. I have always used SV Pneu, so I was curious.

    JoeyZ!
    The owner actually called me up the day after and said one of
    his favorite parts is that the tire shine dosent get all over the wheel
    well area/body, and I use it on my car, and my fathers car, no flinging
    at all, I really like it, Swissvax pneu is awesome, but im really really
    into this Ardex stuff.

    Nice work on the Corvette, you don't see many white ones around.

    As one tip, I would not put any bottles on the finish and you might accidentally scratch the paint.
