  • Amazing what a little wax can do

    I got motivated today to go out and wash, claybar, and wax my car. If you know me, then you know this is very rare. I love my car to death but its a DD and sees 1-2 coats a year. I dont' have before pictures but just imagine a black car that hasn't seen a coat of wax since this time last year.

    Clay barred, Swirl-x, and two coats of wax later we get this....

        The wing. That indent you see to the right is the third brake light.

                          Thanks everyone. I was standing back after I waxed it and decided my emblems needed to come off on the doors. Looks 20x better with out them. Undecided how I feel about the door and fender trim but I'd have to see a picture of a car without them.

                              Dude! I was thinking that when I was doing it! I said to myself, "Self, shouldn't Fred be doing this? He said he would for the M&G and that was 3 months ago!"
