Default Hello warm weather, let's detail!

The car was filthy, hard to tell from the pictures because the sun made it look cleaner but here's a quick wash and wax. You might be able to pick out a few of the beer bottles. Now I'm buzzed and going to kill people on xbox live (Vegas 2).

This is before

Nice Joe, I did the same thing to my wifes car on Saturday. I took a couple pics too.

My TA is still in the garaged covered. I'll probably take it out next week and hopefully get a rear in it early next month.

We used some Maguires NXT. She did most of it herself, cause I was doing yardwork. Not bad, she took a few holiday's but, even I didn't notice until that evening when the streetlights hit it. I'll probably do another coat soon.

I forgot my camera at my folks house so I'll see if at some point this week I can swing by and get it. I used to exclusively use Zaino, but it's a PIA to go through all the steps. I'll probably do the Bonneville pretty soon too, as well as the T/A.

The NXT is really nice. It wont last as long but it's easier to buy, apply, remove and the results (if the paint is prep'd the right way) are the same. I put one coat of NXT on the Impreza, the rest was prep work.

Here is her car, I will probably do another coat this weekend. It needs a touch up still.









If I am feeling ambitious I might do my other car. Here is a couple of it w/ a quick wash, it's in dire need of a wax though.

Looks good Danno, I like both colors alot. I bet the grey is easy to work with. Does it have a metallic flake?

Thats cool Speedy, keep those chrome rims clean, they cost a ton and I bet they're hard to find.

Barely, it's mostly a flat color but, it might just have a tiny bit of flake. I do like the color though, it goes well with the car. It's called Greystone Metallic.
