Default My GS After Waxing !!

Hi guys ..
I've waxed my car for the first time ever since i bought it (8 YEARS AGO) ..
it's full of scratches and swirls of course , so i thought why not try this thing called wax ?
after a lot of reading, i did it !!
it was hard and it took a lot of effort but eventually it turned out GREAT ..



The rest of the pics are here

So how can i keep that shine as long as possible ?
should i use the spray wax thing every now and then ?


What do u think about it ?

i gotta ask... did u do clay bar first? if you didnt, i'd suggest going back and starting over first with the clay, then u will really be proud of yourself, and your paint will feel brand new

<whistle>!! Beautiful!

you're probably not gonna do it for a while so I suggest doing it properly with the LS. Claybar before waxing!! Esp. after 8 years. The LS should look better than the GS after the claybar!!!

Claybar will take your finish to the next level, and don't forget to toothbrush the rubber seals around the windows to remove the dried-up wax.
