Default B7 Exterior detail with Menzerna

Yesterday I decided to tackle my first full detail of the outside of my 2006 B7 with Menzerna. First I washed everything, twice to make sure nothing was attached to the paint. I then did an application of Final Polish II, then Finishing Glaze, and then FMJ. Everything goes on very easy, and comes off fairly easlily too. The Final Polish took off about 99% of anything attached to the paint that was not supposed to be there (bug residue etc..) The FMJ is VERY slippery smooth when final buffing is done. It took me about 4 hours to complete everything including putting a coat of Blitz wax on my wheels. Any questions, let me know!

*NewsFlash* Someone stole your paint and replaced it with a mirror finish.

Default Probably going to put another coat of FMJ on this weekend

I dont think Im going to wax it. The FMJ was much easier to put on and take off than any wax I have every used.
