Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I do like the Souveran. It's expensive but a little goes a long way. Haven't tried the nattys blue yet of course.
It was compounded once last May before the dealer put another coat of "Permashine" on it. There were so many swirls on it I asked them to do it. I guess maybe they didn't do quite the job I did though.

Awesome job Deane, your G looks amazing!!!! I found out that it is quite a bit of work, but certainly worth it in the end. I am sure you would agree after looking at your car!
Again, fantastic job!
Again, fantastic job!
Here is a tip that I found super useful. After you buff off the wax on your car. You might still have some residue that is hard to see. Shine the car under some indoor light, high power lights and you will see a lot of wax that might not have been buffed off. To blend it in fully get a spray water bottle and some distled water and wipe and buff. This will get rid off the extra wax.

Geez, and some folks consider Zaino hard work and time consuming. Deane, how did you log the weekend in your training journal? 
Do you figure you were below lactate threshold before the PC came out?
I can see how some cross training of this sort may be of some core strength benefit- abs, lats, bi's, tri's. Good stretches too perhaps.
Nice shiny red car as a side benefit, too
Cheers,
Derek

Truth is the work started on Thursday evening- the wheels; after doing a 21km run including a 5km @ lactate threshold phase on a d*** hot humid afternoon. Friday and Sunday I worked nearly all day except for fitting in a 13km easy run Friday and a easy recovery 10km run on Saturday. On Sunday I had only one coat of wax to apply after the 12 hour curing period which I did almost immediately following my 29km run (2:26). it was a progression run that increased in pace and intensity as I was fatiguing more, finishing off with the last 3 km @ 10k race pace. That was very difficult in the heat/humidity and at the end of a 109km week.
As a result of the first time using a PC I found I was a bit sore in my lower back, shoulders and arms and legs (standing on the concrete for many hours)
On the second day I finally realized I should let the machine do more of the work rather than me trying to be tense and muscle it around.
By the time Monday rolled around I couldn't tell I had done anything though. Cheers
Deane

Not to hijack your thread Deane, but I am actually running in the Marathon By The Sea next month.
Thought you might be proud!

Hey that's great Shane. I did the half there about 5 years ago. What event will you be doing?

j/j. I am actually looking quite forward to it.Dont' say only! 5 miles is more than the vast majority of the population could do. Do you have a time goal or just want to finish it?
There will be water/gatorade stations along the route probably about every 2 miles or so. Actually they do have a bit of a spread afterwards but not sure if they have beer or not. Many marathons do! Saint John is a well organized event but is a challenging half and full route with lots of hills. You can get yourself a massage before and after the event if you want.
Good luck and have fun. Maybe this is the start of more things to come.
