I got a couple ?s off the post pics section and am not savy enough to answer there so i am here. ? was, "how do you get it to look like a black mirror?"

First off, i use only Maguires Liquid and i apply it after a very solid wash job when the car is cool and clean i go to work. Starting at first light in the morning i take a very soft hand towel and apply the liquid to the hand towel. Then using the small pad that my three fingers make (not including thumb and the useless one, yes you know the one) i apply the liquid was in small cirlces to a panel at a time on the car. Let it haze until it is no longer wet but not dry if you know what i mean. Then come through with a large totally soft towel and wipe away the haze one panel after i have finished another. This goes on for hours and also allows me to not get wax on the plastic parts of the car and no slinging of wax anywhere either. If a spot needs work i can work it off with my fingers until it is gone rather than using a tool that i have no feel with. It takes a long time but the drive through town that night is well worth the fun.

It's always nice to see a good looking car looking good! Black mirror indeed - good job! Now the challenge of keeping it looking that nice begins...

just one thing i would change, go buy some wax pads from auto zone or pep boys, theyre like 3 bucks for two, much safer on the paint than a towel, but great results nonetheless!

Nope, DO NOT USE TOWELS. Microfiber is the only thing to use. Does not leave any fuzz, does not scratch the paint. go to www.autopia.com for more information on products to use.

I agree (for both)!

Nothing wrong with Maguire's, I used it for years, but decided to switch over to Zaino when I got the GT. No regrets..
