Yesterday I tried S100 for the first time. It was very easy to use, rivaling Paste Glaz. Went on smooth and wiped right off like nothing was there.



Underneath is AIO/UPPx2. I also did PwC Blue on the glass, 303 Wiper Treatment on the blades, and AIO on the trim. Tires have WG gel.



This morning I went out and tried the Sonus Ultra-Fine Clay, PO106FF via green Propel2 on 6, and Klasse SG. All of those were very easy to use as well. I applied the SG very thin of course, as many people have warned in the past.

Overall, the S100 was nice, but I'm still anxious to apply a fresh coat of Paste Glaz. I can't wait for spring!!!



And BTW, the black thing on the roof is my XM antenna, safely positioned on top of a folded piece of clear plastic. :)
 
im confused.. you had aio/uppx2 on the car, and then you use 106ff on it and then straight to SG topped w/ s100? still looks good nonetheless, you'll get plenty of looks driving down the road :D
 
oops, I forgot to mention that I only used the 106FF and the SG on the front left fender. It was just to test them out.



Tomorrow I'll add IW845 to that fender, and the rocker panels.

Spring needs to roll around so you can get some actual wheels on that beast.

Ugh, that's for sure. I was looking through folders of pictures from the summer, and it's almost like my car is no more. It's so different without those wheels on. :sadpace:
 
At least you have a garage to work in on your cold days, eh? :)



Car looks nice as always, even though cloudy days are not optimal for pics of silver paint. What did you think of 106FF?
 
Yeah I definitely could have used some sunlight for better pics. But we've got sleet coming down at the moment, and clouds hanging around for several days. :(



The 106FF was easy to use, required very little product, and had a long working time. It left a nice finish by itself too. It's always hard to really judge a product in the garage though, and I didn't want to pull it out and back in a bunch of times, because the roof was dripping with melting snow. So each time I moved the car in or out of the garage, I'd have to try the car again. :mad:



And I didn't want to do the work outside, because it was cold and breezy.

Beautiful car. I've got to get some wheels. At least down here they stay on year round.

Definitely. The wheels make such a huge improvement. Mine were only $396 for the set. I ordered the tires and wheels from http://www.tirerack.com, so mounting and balancing were included at no charge. The total cost for 4 wheels (ASA JS1) + 4 tires (Kumho Ecsta SPT) + mounting/balancing + McGard locking wheel lugs + shipping was $744.05.



You can go to TireRack's site at look at every wheel they have...on YOUR car. You can browse through their selection and see what each wheel would look like. As I recall though, they didn't have the option to use a silver 99 Protege. :( They had 5 colors to choose from I think.



I still wonder what 16s would have looked like though...

LOL



How did you like the SG? Was it easy for you to apply/remove?



BTW car looks great as usual. Better than mine right now. :(
 
I love clean silver rides!!! :cool: The zoom zoom looks awesome Paul even with all that white stuff in the background. ;)
 
Pontman, the SG didn't give me any problems. I applied it very thin, and misted the pad with 4* UGE first. It spread easily, and I couldn't even see the product on the paint unless I put my 500W halogen right up next to the paint. I let it sit for about 20 minutes, and it wiped off with little to no effort. Now I've got Collinite 845 over the SG. That isn't a nice-smelling wax like I'm used to. :(

Ya, I've never had any problems with SG either, it must be a Zaino abuser's conspiracy. lol

I think that fender is pretty well protected now. ;)
