that green is sick i've worked on a green lambo similar color the clear coat was just too nice, so thick and ardex 1 step polish just made it so deep it's indescribable youd have to see it to believe it. this guys doing pretty routine stuff, anyone can do it with the right combination of products (just saying you can do it too it's not that hard!). i did it for small businesses and dealerships for about 4 years and it just becomes an every day thing. once you understand clear coat paint and how to use a wheel it goes scientific and you can get pretty serious.

the wax i use is more of a thick liquid. i dont have any of the solid type of wax that this guy is using. i never even heard of waxing with your bare hands. knowing my luck i would some how do it wrong and put blimishes and scratches in my paint.

Hand applied wax is really high end. Takes a lot of time, and only detailers that charge enough to get away with the labor spent do it.

You just have to make sure you hands are super clean, and the paint has no impurities. a good claybar will make your car look amazing.

yep, it's an insane amount of work hand waxing takes at least three time longer. I was just doing my second coat on my car the other day and got tired and realized I wasn't getting paid so I stopped lol, I'll finish it another day haha
