Thanks everyone. Truth be told, the exterior detail was not as complete as I had intended. I only had time to wash, clay and apply 1 layer of Optimum Poly-Seal.

This weekind I'll do the polishing and seal again and top with Souveran.

IIRC it was Testor's Boyds Smoke Gray Pearl. But I don't think it's available any more.

Thanks. Polish is the key ingredient IMO. Clay just removes contaminants and wax adds shine, but if the paint is not polished all the wax in the world won't make it look wet and deep.
