Default Thoughts on my "shine" with products I bought at walmart

Didn't feel the need to spend all that money for the "fancy stuff"

Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay + Meguiars Ultimate Wax for the finish

meguiars car wash, meguiars chrome wheel cleaner, mothers chrome polish, meguiars endurance tire dressing, and invisible glass.....

and a few hours of love is all it took.

Random pics from the last few days (did this thursday)

Meguiar's makes some great stuff so my thoughts below don't necessarily apply.

Just remember, getting a shine is the easy part. Keeping a shine is the secret. Heck, Water is shiny when applied but it fades so quickly.

Finding products that put on a shine, make clean up easy and hold that shine is the trick. Paying half as much for something you have to use four times as often diminishes the value.

It shows that pictures of omg look at this product are ********. Cameras hide a lot and also prove a lot.

Looks great.
