thats my boy Kurt Flurt, a very good friend of mine. hes owned the car for a bunch of years. i dont think hell ever let the car go. its clean as hell except for a small fender dent that my PDR guy can remove fairly easily. the interior has minimal traces of wear & age for a 15 year old car. actually, the interior on this car looks better than some new cars after being owned & driven for 6 months.
the color is nice because its rare but i feel its a little too white & on the dull side for my eyes. does anyone agree this yellow shouldve been more towards the reddish side? its not bright enough for me! a little bit of red & the color wouldve been perfect!

Klasse High Gloss Acrylic Sealant Glaze
-this has been long talked about as being one of the longest lasting products on the market. its bad rep for being a pain in the arse to apply & remove combined with a ton of new companies & new products has made this product almost forgotten. the funny thing is i finally ordered a container just for the hell of it. i figured i would give it a try.
there is a trick with application & removal but i feel its so worth the extra work because the results are just amazing. the surface of the clear coat is left feeling soft to the touch. feels like your fingers are floating on a pillow. the shine & color it gives your car is absolutely beautifull. water beads like crazy.
this is going to be my new fav sealant. i like products that are hard to apply & remove. i like to feel how thick a product is when im spreading it. if its harder to remove then great. waxing a car shouldn't be an easy thing to do. you should have to fight to remove it just a little bit.
for a little extra protection i topped it off with
Collinite #845 Liquid Insulator Wax.
another great product with pretty good durability. both of these products alone will produce a great shine. when combined the shine is just a tad bit better. i like to try to bling out my cars with what i consider the best sealants & waxes.
FYI expensive products mean crap. just because a product cost a lot of money does not at all guarantee that they are the best.
Klasse Sealant =$24.99 33 oz.
Collinite #845 = $14.99 16 oz.
most companies that try to sell waxes for high dollar amounts are just great at marketing that product. if you have a good story of how the wax company was started & the origin of the can of wax & its ingredients then you can sell it for any amount of money. sure some of the expensive waxes might work really well but i feel its money wasted in the toilet.
the only reason why i started collecting different kinds of waxes is to give my customers a larger selection.
i will eventually have the more expensive waxes even though i dont think they are needed. i want to be able to tell a customer i have the wax in the shop when its requested.
i wonder what my wax collection will look like next summer.
hmmmmmm. hopefully ill fill up the 3 dedicated shelfs in the shop & have to put another one up. =)
thanks for looking.
