Nice work! Looks like you don't give yourself a lot of room to work though, in that small garage...

Yea its a tight fit sometimes but for the most part its not that bad. When a smaller car is in there like a Cayman or something its much easier to work.

Thank you all, now the car is covered with snow but once I wash it , it should return to its previous glory for the most part.

Hey, Cayman is doing fine....staying in the garage for the most part. I'll probably need a basic detail come spring time.

Looks amazing. Do you actually polish the glass with the Rejex or is it spray on wipe off?

How do you like the DD Sponge? Does it scratch at all? The sheepskin ones take way too long to dry.

Rejex is sealant that comes in a polish like form so you cannot spray it on and wipe off. I wouldnt say I "polish" the glass with it but I do work it in via foam sponge until its of a thin consistancy... and of course let it cure on the glass and wheels for about 30minutes before buffing off.

The DD sponge is one of my favorite wash tools because the foam is soft and smooth. Its not ideal for heavy scrubbing but when your working on your own car that is usually kept clean it makes for a super smooth wash, especially when using a slick shampoo. I will only use the DD sponge for my car simply because the flat black audi paint (on my car at least) is very soft, meaning it will easily swirl up or marr. So I prefer the DD sponge over other mitts and sponges because it probably induces the least amount of marring over any other wash mitt. Also since its brought yellow its very easy to spot debris in the foam pores so you know if your dragging crap across the paint. Just always use 2 buckets with grit guards to be safe!
