So yesterday on my day off, I decided to give the Cobalt some extra TLC as a spring cleaning. Here's what I did:

1.) Went to parent's garage at about 10:30 am, washed car.
2.) Put car up on jackstands, removed all wheels.
2a.) Used Turtle Wax mild rubbing compound on all machined wheel surfaces to remove crap.
2b.) Used Eagle One Nano Polish on all machined wheel surfaces to polish.
2c.) Used Turtle Wax Ice quick detailer on all surfaces to finish.
3.) Re-mounted wheels and headed home.
4.) Used Mother's clay bar and Showtime quick detailer on entire vehicle.
5.) Applied Mother's Carnauba Cleaner wax, let sit for an hour and buffed off.
6.) Applied Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech wax on entire vehicle and wheels, let sit for one and a half hours and buffed off.
7.) Applied Icy Hot to both shoulders.
8.) Went inside at 8pm.


Here's the results

gravanatuning.com has a package deal on them...$599.99 plus shipping which was $150 to me in MA.

20% all around

9 PM sever thunderstorms rolled in and ruined all your hard work.

nice reflection shots

Looks nice and shiny.:cssNET:
Beautiful interior too.

Your car looks very good. I like what you did with the interr. Black and Red always looked real good. Makes me want to take a day and wash/wax my car. Maybe use a clay bar. Never did it before though.

Edit Post: Forget to add about wingless. One of the only wingless cars I liked out of the cobalts.

Thats disgustingly clean.. looks amazing, nice job

Your car looks awesome :cssNET:

wow im doing this tomarrow.

Thats one of the cleanest Balt's on the .net I think

thanks everyone

Sorry to jack your thread.

But what kind of lights are those where the orange blinkers are supposed to be? What color do they blink and are they legal?

Looks nice, I just picked up some supplies this weekend to do mine here in the near future. I also plan to give the NXT wax a workout and see how well it actually works by using it on my fiance's 03 Sunfire that isn't in prime condition

Sorry to jack your thread.

they're Sylvania silverstars, they light up orange and they're totally legal. the only thing is they blow out every 4-6 months which is a PITA because you have to take the headlights out of the car each time to get to them and you have to replace them in pairs.

Looking sweet man!

I think you should toss your name in the hat for Car of the month! :twothumbs

that is my back ground picture now

GSoccer24, just one quick question, whats up with the butterfly sticker in the upper corner of the windshield on the passenger side?

its a sticker for my friend Elaine. she passed away the night before Hot Import Nights Boston 2006. She loved butterflies, and it says "In Memory of 'E'" on it. pretty much everyone in the car club i was in put those on their cars.

Looks really awesome man :twothumbs My major spring rejuvantion is coming up here shortly:lol:

Your call looks awesome. All that work railly paid off.

looks really good man how much you pay for those seats they are nice

wow car looks like glass. nice work

I to used the mothers clay bar. That thing is amazing. I couldn't beleive it when I compared the finished part to the unfinished. If nobody is using the clay bar I would highly recommend.

thanks to everyone for the complements!

If I remember correctly, $599 plus shipping from gravana they have a special package including brackets and sliders.

Sweet!
