More than a car wash?

Just wanted to share what I did today during Marilyn's car wash. Besides the double bucket, double grit guard, triple wash mitt... I also decided that I needed to Clay the Borla stainless steel exhaust tips. There's a lot of crap that was on there from late fall last year.

I also wanted to state that I love my boars hair brush for cleaning the Lugnuts and brembo brake calipers.

Here's some pics, and will try to post some of the finished product. She was then dried with FK 425, then topped with Victoria's red, and also showing off my new shorty antenna. The last pic is a close up of her swirl free paint

Yes sir... You can clay anything. Clear bra and windows and glass too. Don't forget your rims too. A lot of contaminants stick on surfaces pretty good, and won't come off even with a good scrubbing.

Maybe I should have taken a close up before and after of the tips. They glisten now... Lol. No more black and brown specks (oxidized brake dust).

It's a carnauba.... It's rare, I got it from a buddy on my Autogeek forum. You used to be able to get it from a few vendors. Now only 1 place sells them I think. I believe it's from Canada.

It's got unbelievable depth... And very durable. Very wet looking. It's similar to souveran, but a bit more shimmer and way more durable.

Also, The more I look at your car the more I think how good Roush side splitters would look.

Thanks man.... Yes it's the craven speed stubby. Someone from here recommended them. Cheap easy mod.

Hmmmm, now you have me thinking of that splitter. Got any pics? I might have to find some. Would it still look good tho, even if I don't have the cs front splitter?
