Wow! Nice job! Talk about a "mirror" finish; I suspect you'll be shaving in front of your hood tomorrow?

That is 3M Imperial Hand Glaze followed by 3M Perfect-it paste wax. Both are applied with an orbital polisher and buffed by hand. As far as I'm concerned this wax is as good or better than the Zymol and it is easier to apply.

We're having a little "wax-off" at my house Sat afternoon with Bobafett's black M5 and a friend's E55. The E55 guy believes he'll have delivery of some Zaino by then and we're all very curious to do some "A-B" tests. I will, of course, as your faithful and humble servant, keep y'all posted.
