Default Full detail of my '98 Black t/a-Pics

I detailed my car before I drove it down to Texas. Here are the products I used and some pics.

1)Wash with Armor All Power Wash Gel, dry.
2) Black Fire Poly Clay II and Clay Lubricant
3) Wash using Black Fire Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner, dry.
4) Black Fire Gloss Enhancing Polish
5) Black Fire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection

















Overall I think it turned out pretty good. However, I wasn't too impressed with Black Fire's Gloss Enhancing Polish. I think I like Meguiar's polish better . Anyone else ever use Black Fire products?

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, I know, I look pretty damn short in that 4th pic . As far as the products they are a company called Black Fire. I got two complete kits, one was A Clay Bar Kit and the other a Full Detail kit, including foam/microfiber applicators and waffle/microfiber towels. I got everything from Proper Auto Care.

He was talking about the white line under the window moulding.

Great job!
Yeah, WTF? I didn't notice it until you said something . Wow, and I thought I paid attention to detail. The thing is though, the wax/polish I used was a clear/white, so maybe the camera brought out the white a little more and made it more noticeable.

Yeah I agree, if they were tucked in a little further they wouldn't look so long.

As far as this midget look I have going on in the 4th pic, it's just the curvature of the door. I'm pretty sure you guys know that...but everyone kept pointing it out and I was like WTF?

BTW thanks for the compliments!
