My buddy came over today for his 05's first clay/polish session. I think it turned out fantastic [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] I clayed the entire car, polished with Meguiar's SMR 2 using a Porter Cable random orbital, then applied a coat of Meg's NXT. The car is as smooth as silk [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drool.gif[/img]

Very nice! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] Both cars look great. Love your deep dish bullitts, any issues? I am interested in knowing what size tires you have on the front and back wheels.

Wish I was there with ya. A Torch Red one would fit nicely in those pics! Wind chill is -7 degrees, yes, that's a minus sign in front of the 7. No Zaino for me today, I think that stuff might freeze.

Dave, watched Donnie Darko last night (finally). Wierd. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eyebrow.gif[/img] I'm going to have to watch it again without the six pack, definately interesting.

Yeah that TR beast of your's would have set the black and gray off nicely. -7, eh? Well better you than me! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol.gif[/img] Seriously, if it makes you feel any better today, I did get sunburned from the waist up [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img] since it was in the mid 70's here today [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

And it's about time you watched that movie - DANG! Yeah you need to watch it several more times to catch things you might not have noticed [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

I hope we see you guys at the Source thing in Birmingham. My wife says hi to you and you'rs [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Stay warm you two!

Fronts are 255/45/18, rear are 295/45/18. No rubbing from the tires and no issues with the wheels - couldn't be happier [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

Dave... Both cars look sweeet! You really did a great job on your buddy's ride... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] He's one lucky guy to have a friend like you... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif[/img] I know it was a lot of work, but man does that black car shine! I detailed mine today, too... It's great living in Florida, isn't it.... Used a clay bar and the same meguires NXT wax you guys did... Not sure what the SMR2 is, but the wax was great!
