Kenchan's New picts from today
Just taking updated shots of my car with the Outmotoring stripes on a cloudy day.
Griot's Best of Show/SprayOn Wax combo
Clarity'ed windows
BlackWow'ed arches (in sesame seed units)
Nero'ed interior (can't see it in these picts)
WheelShield (original blend) + Hydro'ed wheels.
Meguiar's InsaneShine on the tires (i just use a tiny bit)
Car was last polished in Spring this year.
check out this 'fused' look. outmotoring stripes with Best of Show/SprayOn
wax combo. it appears painted on.
can't forget the intercooler grill by yours truely.
that white dot is a chip. anyway check out how well the outmotoring stripes blend into the surrounding paint.

lol actually while i was taking my picts i thought the same... it looks
like everyday thing nothing really special.
but this cold weather and fresh factory-like look i now have reminded me
of when i was taking my first picts of the car 4+yrs ago. it brought
back memories.

did 17's. they look like the factory E46 wheels, don't they? it's
very simple, factory look, yet not boring. i like the aggressive offsets
they come in (+40). fills the wells real well.

my camera is a pos (as you can tell from those fuzzy picts ) and can't
take any good picts in the sun. it took a while since i got the outmotoring
stripes. had to be on a weekend morning, cloudy, yet not windy.

Question: How the hell do you remove BoS Wax? When I apply it, even a light coat, the stuff dries like peanut butter and I have a hell of a time getting it off with the PC. I ended up hand removing it and in the end it wasn't worth all that effort. Is there a secret to this madness?
remove areas i accidentally used too much on, but usually just a quick
wipe/buff by hand with a nice MF towel. i don't use the RO to remove
wax. use a very thin coat. honestly speaking, it is easier to use than
Epic cause #1 i can tell exactly where i applied instantaneously, #2
doesn't whiten up the arches or any of the plastics.
Best of Show you see in the picts was last applied in the Spring.

That's one beautiful MCS. I think you should sell it to me and get yourself a new one. This one's got a chip

you probably used too much. sometimes i use SprayOn wax to
remove areas i accidentally used too much on, but usually just a quick

I use various Griot's products including the polishes, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner, Speed Shine, etc, etc... and BoS is the only thing that disappoints. It ended up in the trash when I moved last summer.
But anyhow, great looking car and glad you're happy with BoS.

Anyway, I found a poly that I'm very happy with that gives a long lasting and terrific shine.
p.s. I live 5 miles from Griot's and have heard good things about their detailing sessions.

Hydro is my quick fix for daily drivers (civic and legacy) which does a
phenominal job considering the 4-5min app. for my hobby
cars i prefer natural based wax. i just like the warmer reflection.
you used too much product. you're 5min away from Griot's dont be so
lazy to walk over there to get a quick tip or lesson then blaming it on the
product if you're not having much luck with it. if it was that impossible
to use, they would've taken it off their product line long time ago.
it's one of the easist to use waxes ive came across. very compariable to
NXT. easy on, easy off. just dont use so much.
the honeycomb. i think it was called gutter guard or something. all you
need is to cut them into shape with sheers, paint them, and pop it on.
if my MCS turns into my commuter i would definitely use Hydro.
