looks amazing.

What products did you use?

As an aside, I bought that "Supernatural" wax (a small sample size runs 30 bucks!!) and I didn't have much success with it.. I was expecting miracles to happen and was let down. I'm sticking with cheaper waxes..even

Takes me 30 mins, I could wax, dry, clay and wax in two hours and it would look great.
