Hi everyone,

I decided I'd share my Friday night fun - well fun for me and some of "us" anyway! My 2009 Kirby Sentria was needing another annual polish, this time I decided I would try and protect the finish from oxidization, finger prints, and noses from the dogs with some of my good car wax. I love this car wax, so I figured I'd try it on the Kirby and see if it keeps the finish brighter longer.

I polished the vacuum with Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish, and then followed up with Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. One thing I love about this wax is it does not leave any residue even on black trim. 100% wipes off.

I pretty much use the Sentria 2-3 times a week, it's what I would consider my daily driver. It's very well taken care of for going on 4 years old now. My pride and joy. :)

Andrew
