    He did tell me that it was pretty expensive. Not sure what the brand was though.

    Then he's got the deepest, darkest most glossy windshield glass I've ever seen. :D

    No, I'm sure it's nice and shiny. Nothing wrong with keeping it clean.

    Head unit. That's it.
    Some of the points made in this thread really interested me about the consumer reports, so I had our chemist test some different waxes, its true, the only real difference is price, and application. He said that the more expensive waxes seemed to dilute easier than the cheaper ones...I guess affecting longevity???

    Turtle wax express shine. It's easy and doesn't leave a film on black paint. Yes I'm lazy.

    It was kind of overcast outside, so the shine isn't popping the best, but this was taken this morning, after I waxed last night using Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax.

    Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax or Meguiars Cleaner Wax. I prefer the #26 because it smells like bananas

    Their UQW smells like cherry. It's funny how scent can make you want to use certain products more.

    CSI's detailer smells like baseball card bubble gum.
