Detailed: 1993 240SX Drift Show Car (1/64th Style)

While at home today, I was cleaning out my truck and brought my sample sized bottles in for refilling. The client of this car (my 5 year old son) came up to me with this in his hand.
"Daddy, this the shiniest one I have. Can you wax and buff it for me like those big cars you do?" was what I heard.
My eyes watered up and I said, "Heck ya boy!"

Here's the process:

Washed with Dawn
(Used bathroom sink and terry wash cloth. I was assisted by my son. Do not give me slack about using it!)
No claying was needed. I guess I could have used a pencil eraser. Dryed with wife's hairdryer.

Meguiar's #80
(Used terry washcloth)
After my son's inspection, no major flaws were noticed. I just wanted to amp up the finish. There had to be 2 coats of clear on this beast. Polished out nice.

Meguiar's #26 "X3"
(Used yet another terry washcloth)
I let the client get involved here. He ------ it evenly (sure) and out of the seams (yeah sure). We let it dry for 5 minutes and then removed with lots of heat (by breathing into the cloth) and speed. We did this for a total of 3 times. I could not believe the depth added. Simply a wet finish. The metal flake was amazing and clear. A winning wax for all cars and now tiny ones!

Other products used....
No other products were used except time and love.

I hope you all like this. I had fun doing it with my son and writing it. It was done in humor and fun. A nice way to spend Christmas Eve morning!!!!

Some nice afters.......
