Default Detailed my G8

Well it needed to be done before winter. And the dealer's job was crap. It's gonna get dirty in less than 24 hours again anyways... but oh well I guess. Used Zaino and had to rush because of a wedding so just did Z-PC, Z8, then one coat of Z5. Would have Z8 and Z5'd a couple more times if I had the time. And didn't get to Bling Master the chrome either. But here are some kinda crappy quick pics I snapped.









Then a reflection shot including having to wear my dad's sweet socks and sandals. lol

The GT is the L76 with 361 hp as compared to the LS2's 400. And the GXP has the LS3 in it.
