Rip-off of someone else's idea. I am not taking credit. But the car isn't black so it is something new.

okay. That is all. Here is the story.

Decided to wash and wax my car today/obviousely and tried to go all out (ie. spending some time.)


So this is what I did and in what order

-Washed the car with Meguiars NXT Car Wash (leaves wax look after wash even if you dont wax it.
-California Water Blade
-Griot's Garage Chamois (best chamois ever. buy it. now)
-Meguiars NXT Gen Liquid Car Wax and Meguiars Applicator
-Meguiars Hot Shine tire spray
-Stoner's invisible glass



Input/opinions/criticism very welcome. Enjoy!

The only way your car could look better is if it had racing stripes and was parked in my garage. Great job!

What did you paint your brake calipers with? Looks very nice.

Awesome! Nice job. B)

You seemed to have captured the orange peel quite nicely with the pic of the trunk
