agreeed. i loveeeee the look & feel of right after my car is claybar/waxed lol i got that turtle wax black box that i'm going to try out too. i'm not really a fan of turtle wax products [i'm more of a meguiar's gal, myself], but i read a couple reviews that said it works well so i'm gonna give it a whirl...

car looks good btw

I need to try something new. My TBSS is black and who ever owned it before me did a poor job of maintaining the paint.

that sucks i sometimes wonder how people can let their cars a mess, ya know? lol i clean my jeep just as much as my car lol

i'm skeptical about that black box, but i'm hoping it works. my car's finish isn't bad by any means - i mean, i bought it new, it's never seen a winter, rarely in the rain, claybar at least twice a year, waxed numerous times a year, etc...but after reading a couple reviews about it, i figured i'd try it out. i just hope it gives the results i'm used to

let me know how it turns out. id like to see it. The TBSS doesnt have any like mud flaps/debris protection on it so the lower corner of the rear door is like dulling from it looks like rocks and whatever.

i did.. the retros are on.. but the sig is like a week old.. I'm sorry I havent kept it updated haha


The only mods from the LT I switched over were the 5000K fogs and the retros.. otherwise everything else either wouldnt fit or I just dont find the need to install (such as the nav)..
