"Detailed my car"

Here is my first attempt and a full detail (minus buffing)


took me 5 hours to do.. and i still have come to the conclusion that black sucks to clean.


however it looks better than i have ever seen it

Wash, Dry, Mothers Claybar, Wash, Dry, Mothers 3 step (paint cleaner, polish (2 coats on the hood) and wax)

I was gonna put on the summer rims and tire shine, but my buddy came over so i ran out of time













red vinyl was put on temporarily for a girl who runs a site called http://houseofgrafx.com/

she needed a cobalt for her site.. still deciding whether i wanna take them off of not.




YES I KNOW I HAVE ORANGE PEEL... (chances are you do too )

Looks good! Is it just me or does your exhaust tip look like it is way to the right?
