Default Took some new pics of my Z all washed up (56k ...no)

First let me say that I know these pics probably aren't the greatest, but I've never had any photography training and my camera is just a simple digital one. I just wanted to see what I could come out with. I didn't try to use lighting well or anything, pretty much just pulled the car up in spots and took pics. Oh, and the damn sun went away right as I started taking pics, then came back out as soon as I got home.

And yes, it needs to be lowered, needs some tint, needs a grille.... those mods are all planned out to be done in the future.

May I ask what kind of wax polish or glaze you used?

I just detailed my pewter Z and couldn't get a shine like that.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I really appreciate it coming from some of you with such great looking cars yourselves.

They're just 275s all around on 9.5'' AFS ZR1s. I have seen some people that ordered from Ebay companies and didn't even realize that the machined lips are smaller on the rear ones. Some guy at a local car show a couple years back was pissed when I pointed out that his wheels were different because of that exact reason; he'd had no clue.

Sure, it's this new product called Soap and Water.

In all seriousness, it hasn't been waxed or clayed since I bought it from my buddy last October. And to my knowledge, he didn't do it in the 8 months he had it before that. It's my daily driver and sits outside either at school or at home, so I guess I just got lucky that the paint is in such great shape. The car was purchased by my friend from a retired cop who had never let the car see any bad weather, so I'm sure that helps. It does indeed need to be clayed and waxed though, because there are little imperfections and crap on the paint, plus I really want to get off the dried shoe polish flakes that are ALL OVER the black surfaces on my car (from when my friend wrote on the car while trying to sell it). Once again, thanks for the kind words everyone!
