Default When you have 6h of free time...Pics.

Here's some photos after a seemingly thorough clean

For those curious to what I used, this is the specific lowdown
1) Meguiars NXT Car Wash with Meguiars Microspun Wool Mitt
2) Meguiars Claybar
3) Meguiars ShowFinish Polish
4) Soft 99 Black Car Wax (Imported from Japan, was highly recommended by many of my mates with the far more expensive cars)- 2 layers

Here are the photos:

FIRST 3 Hours

Bit of the hood:


Roof of the car:


Angled Front 1:


Front:


Angled Front 2:


Another 3 hours on the following day to ensure first layer of wax set in, applying another coat of polish (to parts I didn't before) and wax (second layer)

Partial Back:



I have lots more to learn about detailing and photography, but I'm definitely trying!

The car is nice and all but all of you MUST be blind. Have you seen the offset on those wheels, they look like they belong on a honda. Spacers cant even save you man, get rid of the wheels and get some new ones that are made for the car. THen youll have a nice lookin car.

yes, i do agree about the wheel sitting in..

but i got them at a massive massive discount, it was hard to pass up! besides, i just did the measurements, putting on a 25mm spacer would line it up with the guard nicely..perhaps it's just the angle of the photos which accentuate this problem..

other than that, thanks for the kind words guys...

beautiful, that is all I can say.

and the off-set is an easy fix with some spacers, so not a big deal in my mind
