Clayed and waxed! Spring cleaning

First full detailing and cleaning of the year and damn did my SS need it!!
I just finished before class, and still needs another quick rub down. Pics hardly do justice.










Enjoy!

Nice, Sick06. I love that color!

Dunkin, I totally agree on the drying out, except for the tire foam. The wipes are for a quick shine but go away and blah, but the foam has been the best bang for my buck so far, short of high end trailer queen tire detailing cleaner.

TY for feedback!

the first pic looks like you got a few streaks under the headlight, but the car is looking good.

Always a critic! LoL!

Didn't notice my gumby arm when I uploaded either hehe. It was crazy bright out this morning. Honestly I'd LOVE some shade around here but none of the trees have leaves! Curse them ... My camera's shutter speed was maxed out, 1/2500 I think? I didn't mess with the aperture setting tho. I drove it 5 min down the road to wal-mart, and had to wipe the car down again from dust ...

TY For feed back, its good to be clean again!

Looks nice. Next time after a clay, use a cleaner wax, followed by a polish, then top it with a nice sealer wax. It will have even more depth than it has now.
