as I mentioned in previous post, first day was wash and claybar, 2nd day was menzerna final polish with PC and spot Optimum compound or SuperIntensive Menzerna where necc. 3rd day was ZPC +Z-CS on wheels, 2X Z5 1XZ2 Z-CS to seal it and Z-8 a few hours later.

I dont know why the supposedly mega pixel camera still seems so blury...

Default Sharper pics & swirls

There is a setting on your camera for pixels/photo. You probably want to set it for highest. Keep in mind that you'll fit fewer pictures into the memory device though.

Your car looks great! I just finished doing the whole Griot's Garage detail duty on my yellow new Beetle. Wash, clay, polish (orbital) and finally wax by hand. I prefer using their paste carnuba as Griot's "Best of Show" liquid seems too difficult for me to buff out.

I'll probably do my beige A8L soon enough. AND I have to get out to Beautiful BC soon. Maybe I'll spot the elusive sea monster in the Okanagan!
