Default Finally had a chance to wax the car!

Its been a very long time since I waxed my car, so I made time a few nights ago, and got some pics earlier. While I was out, a friend came by, so we got a few shots of him messing around.

Yea, they still make them in 19x10.5" just not with our lug pattern. 10 inches is only half an inch bigger than mine. When I think of wide on an 18" rim, I'm thinking more like 18x11+. But thats just me

Haha. Thanks. If nobody else has warned you, i have to. Maintaining a black paint job is not fun, and indeed a lot of work. That is if you drive it a decent amount, and it isn't a garage car. Even then, right after you wash it, you start seeing the dirt/dust on it already. I wet sanded my entire car down about a year ago, to get rid of the little bit of orange peel i had, and now since my car is so much more reflective (like a mirror), I have to be very very careful not to wash it and or wax it wrong. (like use a new microfiber each time I wash it, same when i wax it, all new cloths, and pads) The orange peel use to hide a lot of that stuff; just not anymore. But yea, Im not going to go over everything but just felt that you should know if you don't already. I will say one last thing though; Black cars are a pain to keep clean, But when they are clean, they look amazing!
