Default *56k no* who needs ZAINO, first waxing of 06

so in lieu of doing my brake pads and oil change, i decided to do some detailing.











longest wax job for me, it was cold out and the wax took forever to dry.

let me know what ya think.

Nice. BTW they closed your other thread and davidv was being sarcastic since its frustrating to enter a thread to only find a link to another thread.

Heres a link on how to remove your rear wipers in case others are interested.

I was being sarcastic? “Sarcastic" is my middle name.

BTW thanks for posting photos in line. I hate those annoying thumbnail photos.

I was going to post in your other thread about not seeing any pictures but decided to post in this thread instead.

Where are the pictures?

I like your cleverness. Never seen anyone use that as a cover before. Nice.

abcd123eddie.....the pics are in this thread, look up, and hope that you have a fast connection. they are untouched 3 or 4 megapixel images.

bamyi...yeah i was doing my oil change last time and saw the cover, and a little bulb went off. All i had to do was modify the plug just a bit by cutting a tab off and itll snap right in, with some sealant it should hold fine.

what exactly did you use to wax it? Maybe its the camera or the lighting, but those pics dont show off what your car should really look like after detailing.

edge, i used meguiars gold glass. it no where compares to zaino, buts its cheapER!!! I know it could be better, but it was done by hand, im not a professional either. but it shines enough for me to enjoy it. it may be the pictures too! i took the pics as the sun was going down, so theyre wasnt much light to use.
