Some of the gloss will go away in the first 4-6 weeks because of the paste wax. Most of the luster is still there but you can re-aply just the wax after a good wash. I try to do a full round of this detail every 3-4 months. I do live in Phoenix so the sun is hard on products.

Perfect, I don't mind doing it every month or so. I was afraid it only lasted a few days and I know that I would want that look back right away. I was afraid that it would be addicting and I would be out there waxing the car twice a week.

Thank you for sharing your method and thank you for sharing your car with all of us. Nearly 20,000 posts is quite the contribution.

No you don't! That is my Sevas S-55 that cracked when I hit a rock in the road. I'm going to turn it into a air hose reel for my garage.

I was shocked that such a small rock would trash a wheel but there were a lot of problems with the S-55's because they tried to make them too light without making them out of forged material.

HEHE, air hose reel. That is low. That's an expensive reel. You sure it's up to the task?

I heard about those wheels and the problems people have with them. They are suppose to be the best out there. I guess not.

Sevas?!? Not the best by far. HRE are the best wheels money can buy. IForged, DPE, Volk, and a number of other forged wheels are all #2 in my opinion.

I still want those solid carbon fiber wheels they had at SEMA last year. They were big big big $$$ but sooooo light and beautiful.

If you're serious I want the iForged wheels you have. I looked at all the wheels out there and the iForged Aeros are the only wheels that compliment the sedan. But you said you painted them and a little big since they are 20s but
