Washed/Glazed/Wax and newly painted MT's

I've been noticing that the black paint on my truck was showing some signs of neglect. Soooo I washed and then broke out w/ the 3M Imperial Hand Glaze (works great w/ black cars) and after the polish, I busted out the Einszette(sp?) liquid wax. I only did the driver's side, tommorrow the rest of the truck just ran out of daylight. Tomorrow i'll see how the glaze took w/ the swirls and "spider webbing". Also, painted the MT's Classic II's as well this week. I wanted the all black look without the weight penanlty of steelies and went the cheap route Sanded the wheels down wet with 320 grit then used Etching Primer and Duplicolor Satin Black Paint. Turned out pretty decent. Anyway, here's the pictures...the glaze really helped w/ the depth of the color especially dark colors.
