Default Freshly detailed NBM love....

Spent the better part of 10 hours or so over the course of 4 days last week going at the paint with a DA and Chemical Guys V36 polish finished with Meguiars NXT Tech Wax. These are just some pics I took in my driveway with my cell phone, Im hoping to get some taken tomorrow night with my D40 after work with some better light to really make the color pop. I am sooooo fuggin happy with how the car came out! This is my first time doing a polish job, and it's not a half bad job for a noob doing a one step. There are still some decent scratches, but nothing that's noticed from less than a foot away in the right light.

The bumper was the WORST, but luckily was easily corrected after one step.

AFTER (different area, but polished):

Looooooooooove this color, one of the few things GM actually did right
