It would probably be a slick finish at least.

haha, there is some elbow grease involved yes, but no... there's a real LSP on the car.

Why are u banned from the detailing section? Talking about other products besides adams?

I don't get this guessing game...there's no point in it...It's an LSP just tell the public. There's not much guessing involved unless you used something that is not readily available to the public...just my 2 cents as a detailer....

lol, it was just for fun to see if anyone by chance would get it.

It's actually Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger. It is BY FAR the highest shine on a white car I think i've ever seen and i've detailed quite a few cars in my life. You spray it on lightly, buff with a MF towel and just continue to buff... it just soaks into the paint. So it's basically just a quick detailer... but it really is a layer of sealant. My car has to stay outside so I can't say the durability of it, but it's so easy that you wash your car and you can put a coat of this stuff on in 15 minutes or less.

It can also be layered 30 minutes after application. I have 2 coats on .. but in person ... man it looks awesome! About 17.00 for a bottle that would likely do the car at least 15 times... likely more however. I bought 2 and I think shipping was 6 or 8.00 so it's not ridiculous like some places.

For some reason, the paint on the bumpers and sideskirts look off...

Well since i'm banned from the detailing section, I thought i'd post these here since it's the interior/exterior section. What I used was something new... to me anyway, but out of all the waxes and sealants that I have used which has been quite a few, I think I like this the best on white.

It's pretty cheap, and by the way... the car was NOT polished before I applied this... just had to use some dawn dishwashing liquid on it first, which I don't recommend doing very often.

Anyway... anyone wanna take a guess of what was used?

Thereve been several threads about this on white cars. Some owners have convinced the dealer to repaint..

extremely incorrect my friend. Most of the time the bumpers are not even painted in the same place and therefore matching them is more difficult for whatever reason. The dawn was used to strip off the left over wax from the car. I've been detailing for a long time and in no way, shape, or form would it be able to change the color of paint as the whole car is clear coated.

Actually i've thought of that, but i'm of 2 minds about it... the dealer repaints it and you run the risk of them using the cheapest paint and the least experienced guy to do the job and end up with a bunch of nicks and such that they can then claim as normal driving, or hope that over time the sun will bleach the paint enough where it looks a little closer.

"just had to use some dawn dishwashing liquid on it first,"

You do realize using that will strip the wax right off, right?
