Just finished washing and waxing car. It looks like a mirror.

If anybody is wondering, I used Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Hi Tech Yellow Wax #26.

I'm debating on getting this. After I wash and clay the car, I apply the Meguiar's Car Show Glaze #7, let it dry and wipe away. Afterwards, I apply the #26. Any imperfections in the paint, then I will use a polymer sealant to remove and fine lines and scratches before applying a wax.

#7 gives the car paint a deep wet finish look, effective on all paint finishes. Apply this before waxing because it has some presense of oil. It requires extra effort to wipe away, so don't apply too much.

Wow. Car looks so shiny.
How is the weather there now? Last week you guys had tons of snow, now it's nice enough to wash and wax the car ? Strange weather.
I really, really, really, want to wash my car but it's just been way too cold, and I haven't had any time. It is really bugging me that she is so dirty.

Weather has been nice for the last 7-10 days, sunny and almost 80 F outside. CO = Montana & Arizona weather

Really?
Aww ... I wish we would suddenly get nice warm weather. Apparently tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny and around 14 degrees celsius. Unfortunately for me I am working 9-5, so once again, no wash for the Versa.

Only day we are closed is Sundays.
Our bank has the longest hours ever, so I have been working almost everyday. Plus now I got a second job working for the school board as a tutor, so my Sunday's are my only day's free now.

Sucks, but I need to work as much as possible now to pay back my student debt.

Yeah, that gets expensive. I bet you're anxious to move out on your own.

Lol. We are actually almost open the same. TD Canada Trust here (the company I work for) is open 8-8 Monday - Friday, and Saturdays 8-4. Apparently some branches in China town in Toronto are open Sundays. I'm glad we are not open Sundays. I like having that day off.

Not really anxious to move out. Of course I would love to have my own home, but I'm only going to move out when I have a full-time job, and I have paid off my student debt, and have enough to make a down payment on a home. My parents don't mind us living at home. The good thing about living at home is that it gives me a chance to pay off my student debt and save for the future. I don't really have any other things to pay for now by living at home.

Your car looks so shiny! You've totally motivated me to shine up my little car this week.

Oh, my car will be more shiny this coming summer. I plan to buy this Show Car Glaze stuff by Meguiar's. It's an oil based liquid that needs a small amount, gives the paint a deep wet finish. It doesnt turn white when it dries, makes it tricky to find out where I didn't wipe. Will apply the Mirror Glaze wax after that. Should look outstanding when complete. Will take a couple hours until finished.

Here's a pic of the product
