Although here in Quebec we have a winter tire only law between Dec 15 - March 15, I'd love to make my first drive March 16th 2013!

Let me get this straight, they actually have a law telling you what kind of tires you have to have on your car for the winter. That is as bad as our government passing a law telling us we have to have 3 gallon per flush toilets. :hysterical:

Now tomorrow, Jerseygator who i met due to this fine forum is coming over for the first complete detail, clay, sealer, souveran wax. Cant wait to see a couple of coats of 75.00 wax on this awesome red paint

Clay, POLISH with an orbital buffer, then the sealers and wax , if you want wax . I stop with the sealant . I use high quality sealants like Klasse or Blackfire Wet Diamond . No matter how carefull I always got wax in cracks, on black trim and on stripe edges . Stripes like having sealant on them . The polish is what is neccessary to bring out maximum gloss and level the surface . I do hear good things about Souveran though, just be careful .

Souveran will not stain black plastic trip or harm your strips.

Yes, because some idiots try and drive in the winter with their summer tires...... inevitably causing accidents. it is stupid, but it should be common sense to put snow tires on your car if your in an area that sees a lot of snow, like Quebec.

That's the safest bet. I didn't during my first pass and ran the machine over the edge of a stripe. Wasn't good. What polishes are you going to use?

Adams Swirl and Haze remover for any micro scratches and surprisingly there are a few... Not many.

http://www.adamspoli...car-polish.aspx

Adams Fine Machine Polish will be the primary product used.

http://www.adamspoli...ine-polish.aspx

Then I'll seal it with Adams Machine Super Sealant.

Then Souveran to top it off...

Time to head to Dave's...

Oh yeah, this law came in affect I believe two or three years ago and let me tell you...don't get into an accident with 4 season or summer tires 'cause this will not only buy you a hefty fine but will also give your insurance company reasons not to pay. They are now taking this business quite serious. I'm actually waiting on some new snow tires and Rims I order at Discount Tire Direct for my little Bimmer X1. UPS tells me they are held back at customs for clearance as of this morning. They better get here before the 15th!

These laws are crazy. The next thing you know they will pass a law in the US saying we can't use incandescent bulbs, oh wait, the idiots already did it! The states are supposed to be automonous and regulate themselves and the Federal Government is supposed to be here to form a national defence of the combined states. They should not be involved in their toilets and light bulbs and the old "National Speed Limit' of 55 MPH. Sorry about going off topic, I hate stupid laws! :offtopic:

Do you think the Canadian health care system may have had anything to do with this new law?

Could be linked to health care. Less serious winter car injuries, less money the province has to pour out of the health care system and maybe more in the polititians pockets!

Time for some pics... Last night I finished it up. Approx 20 hrs of labor went into this detail.

Dave and I smoked a celebratory cigar!

Washing it inside Dave's fantastic garage! Please pardon the quality of the first few pics. They were taken with my iPhone.

I can't wait for a nice sunny day to take it outside. Maybe they will look nicer. The pics I posted didn't do the car justice. Dave is thrilled and it is like night and day. Even his wife agreed.

Geeze Peter, I think you have outdone yourself once again!  ...at a loss for the correct words:  Outstanding!  Prystine!  Exceptional!  ...all of the these?

Adimittedly, I was horrified at the surface scratches on this spanking new car!  How the F*ck does this happen?  Like it was polished with a dirt rag!

Top Honors, my friend!  I don't think Mr. Adams himself can out-detail your craft!   :worship:
