thanks for all the comments!
it's almost a good 5 hours effort, without doing the interior!
Lots of sweat to get to this glossy surface.

Yellow is hard to maintain. Bugs and tar magnet...

Can tell us products used and method?

btw...very nice job there.

I used Meguair's products. Consumer line. Start off with scratch X and tar remover, to prepare the surface. Then Polish. After that apply a layer of Yellow Wax.
 
hey bro..
that is one kind of shining banana...:)

Love ur M3 lip too..
 
Tell us what you used........

I'm a fan of Meguiar's as well. The 'Ultimate Quikwax' is fabs for keeping it shiny and 'water-proof' in between treats.

I wish I had your patience.
 
Very beautiful...after all the painstaking time n effort, it really pays off...
 
Thanks for all the comments!
Current weather makes it even tougher to maintain the shine.
Pain to clean, especially the acidic rain.

I used..
1. Meguair's Scratch X and bug and tar remover. This is to prep the surface
2. Meguair's Polish
3. Meguair's Yellow Was

After washing everytime, I'll use Quik detailer.. to rid of water stains, marks, tree saps, bird dropping marks. For stubborn tar, haf to use tar remover..
 
Hey, not bad for a a so-called 'newbie'. Haha. Very amazed at your end result. Very very good! :top:
