Default My girlfriends Kia got some new shoes and quick detail of my TA, Tropicare whoring!

The girl isn't too up to speed on keeping her car clean as you can see, but I think she has learned the ways after helping me. She got some new wheels and I hit it up with some paint, the PC, Tropicare as the topper, and a few other little touches. New wheels make a huge difference on anything. She went from 14" stockers to some 16" OZ's. I helped her pick them out.


YUCK!


Oh man!


Geesh!


All done!


Looks good for a KIA, definitely more domestic looking.


The TA was pretty dirty so I hooked it up as well.

During


After






Good pic of the new hood

What, do you need Santa to bring you some?

It's not expensive. Just get it dude, you won't be disappointed.

All I used was the TC3.

I've used heavy metal polish before with a powerball. Usually I just clean them with some quality window cleaner. I hate polishing.

Thanks for the remarks

It's a post registration sticker, I'm in the Army and it's a must.

I wish it wasn't though.
