Default SPRING CLEANING: Wax on, wax off.

My hose finally got dewinterized, thank god because I was tired of paying for car washes that scratched up the finish all winter , so I decided to give my baby a full spring detail. Waxed the hell out of her, first time this year, and I think she can take a few more coats. Im not the best photographer, let me know what you guys think.





















Sorry, I got a little picture happy!

I really like what you've done with it. I remember when you were rolling on 17s....

Unfortunately, I had to trade in my Z, but I picked a G35 instead.

Default Update

I put 2 more layers of Meguires NXT tech wax 2.0, which smells so good you could eat it, Polished the mufflers/tips, touched up about 350 rock chips on the front bumper , and took a few more pics.
Enjoy:

I took the mud flaps off on purpose . I think the Z flows alot better with out them and whats the point of having fattie rear tires if you cant show them off. Its like Jessica Alba wearing baggy jeans.

idk if its just the shade or if its actually the extra coats of Meguires NXT but the second post of pics look much cleaner than the one in the first post, either way it looks clean when can you detail my car?

I think it is a combo of both extra layers and the shade/time of day. The first set of pics were at sunrise and the second set were at sunset. Also I applied a layer of Turtle wax Ice synthetic liquid polish in between the first two and last two coats of wax and I cleaned up all the rock chips on the FB.

I charge 250 and it will take a day or 2.
