    Isn't it purty? This is after several coats of wax... the good kind, the kind that requires a sore arm, inhaling at least a half a teaspoon of what is most likely carcinogenic particles in the form of dust wax, and painstaking attention to detail. Woe be to any bug that DARE land on my tank...

    Looks great - it won't be a bug - at work birds perch on my bars and crap on my tank. I gotta get a cover

    I used Ice first, but it didn't give me that deep wet shine that I wanted, so I used Meguiar's Gold. 3 coats. There are some minute scratches noticeable close up, but I'm considering using a clay the next time I wax to fill in the mars on it's otherwise flawless surface.

    collinite makes amazing paste wax, but it is NOT user friendly. you will be sweating and need a few beers.
