Wash, claybarred, and doublewaxxed 'Balt!
WOOHOO! Just finished 4 hours of work. Washed the car with dish soap (to strip the old wax off), claybarred it, then used Meguiars Cleaner Wax, followed with a final coat of Eagle One Nanowax. Pretty happy with the results.

I purposely used it to strip the old wax off the paint. I only use it when I'm gonna rewax the car. Otherwise I use a wax job safe car wash gel. (I use Eagle One)
And yes, its perfectly safe for your clear coat. (not your wax though lol)
Yah it is, its high noon right now.
I swear..... I seriously might be a hazard for other people on the road right now. They could be blinded by the white!!!

I was gonna get a black 'Balt but the dealership sold it. Glad that I got the white one instead, easier to keep clean and WOW does it stand out when waxed up!

nice man.
though i would consider getting something a little more long lasting than eagle one nano after stripping/claybarring.
I use nano quite a bit. it ROCKs as a quick wax. but the spray type wax doesnt really protect your paint for long compared to a good quality solid wax

The pictures really don't do it justice. My digital is really shitty quality. (even though those pics were taken at 4 megapixels they still are fuzzy)
By the way if no one noticed those "rims" are actually the stock hubcaps that came with the car. I painted em black last week. Check it out.

No spray bottle half-assing crap here.

white is a better color in regards to "keeping clean"...
you can see the smallest scratch to the smallest bird ****...to a area that wasnt washed properly (on a black car)

I wouldn't even be able to tell that he's just got hub caps on if it wasn't for the other thread. I think Fallen33 did a hell of a job with those caps so props to him and stop the hate!
