Before & After of Fiance's Sunfire
 
I took the liberty of cleaning my fiance's car last night. I was only going to wash and wax it but after seeing how dirty it was i decided to wash, clay bar and wax it. I was only able to wash and clay it last night before it got dark outside. I then got my butt out of bed at 6:40AM so that I could wax it as well as do the tire, rims, and windows before she had to go to work this morning. Here are some before and after shot. Its down right amazing what a little TLC and good car care products can do. I used Clay Magic Claybar and Maguires NXT Liquid Wax

that is a very clean sunfire. good job on the waxing.

biniecki 05-13-2007 09:05 AM

Thanks. It did turn out very well. I told all my friends i was going to give the Maguires NXT wax a good test by using it on her car and it definitely didn't let me down. I will definitely be using it on my car. I plan on doing mine this morning/afternoon before I go to my moms for mother's day. I'll try and post some pics of it too

sounds good, since you did a good job on hers, you should post some pics of yours. lol, and i def. gotta hand it to you, waking up at 6 something in the morning to finish your girl's car is reputable.

biniecki 05-13-2007 09:20 AM

yea from the pics it does. However there are tons for rock chips and the front bumper is messed up from her rear ending someone this winter. Also the rear quarter panel is a little scrapped up from when she spun out and hit a wall on the entrance ramp of the highway and the rockers a little bad to from some curb checks but you cant see all of that in the pictures. The car is a 2003 and i would have to say with all defects aside it does look like a brand new car. The shine and color are so much deeper after using the clay bar and waxing it. The car had never been waxed and you could tell that from when i was using the clay. I used about 1/2 on the entire car kneading it about every section or 2 i did

BMWM51969 05-13-2007 09:23 AM

damn dude, well despite those imperfections, the car STILL looks good. i kinda noticed it in the front with the recessed headlights. i think. but either way, pics of your car!! lol

CTCOBALTSSS 05-13-2007 09:29 AM

Nicely done man. She's back in full effect. Good job. :twothumbs

biniecki 05-13-2007 02:14 PM

She took the car today and some of her employee's were asking her what the heck I used on it because it looked so good they wanted to use it on their vehicles. I finished mine and took some pics but i dont have time to post them right now. I will hopefully be able to get them up this evening.

looks great man!



(sidenote: is it just me or does the hood always look popped on those sunfires)

biniecki 05-13-2007 02:34 PM

The entire front clip is a little messed up from when she rear ended someone this past winter. I have tried to fix it but its going to require me replacing a lot of parts to get it right again and she is probably going to be getting rid of it soon so im not going to bother with it

an0malous 05-13-2007 02:36 PM

ahhh gotcha.

claybar ftw man. you can just see from how clean and perfect the mirror effect is that you claybared it.

biniecki 05-13-2007 08:02 PM

Here are pics of my car as promised. Mine isn't as much of a notice but you can see the color is a little deeper in some of the pics and the rims and tires are nice and shinny

Mine hasn't been wax in a year since I've got it :) i'm doing it in two weeks so I have the time to do so without being in a hurry.

car wash mod! my favorite

biniecki 05-14-2007 10:17 AM

well the sunfire is a pos and we will be getting rid of it soon to get a sedan for when we have a family. With 2 car payments and trying to plan and afford a wedding its the only way i can go. I have been upgrading my cobalt a little at a time and plan to put a turbo on it sometime

tiny 05-14-2007 09:01 PM

nice work on the sunfire
the orange doesn't seem to reflect as much, but it still looks good

cea2488 05-16-2007 08:47 AM

Great job on both of them... The Sunfire looks like a whole new car.
