Default Waxed My 00 WS6 With Meguires NXT, pics inside (Daytime pics are also up)

Here are a few pics of my car during its first wax job. (since I bought it 2 months ago) I washed the car first with dawn dish soap to help get off any wax that still remained. I then pulled her into the garage and proceeded to wax her for 3 and one half hours. I spent an insane amount of time on each body panel, applying tons of wax and hand polishing the hell out of it. Its not like I just went over each panel quickly, i spent a lot of time on each panel. Thast why it has such a nice shine. I used Meguires NXT wax and from what I can tell, it looks pretty good. I will Def. know tomorrow when I get it out in the daylight, ill get some more daylight pics tomorrow.

Looks like you got some pretty good results. Let us know what it looks like in the sun.

I go thru the same thing with my g/f but she likes to get involved

Here are the daytime pics. The first few were in the shade, and the rest in the sun. Looks pretty good and really took away all the swirl marks. It looks as smooth as glass!

car looks great. I love how black turns out when you spend 6-8 hours on it in one day. Been there done it!

I always use a mit to wash most of the car and a scrubber sponge to get off the bugs. I bought the mit from auto-zone and I just went for the softest and most expensive one I could find. I figured the higher priced ones were made from a good material.
