Yeah! That looks killer, but how bout a coat of armor all for those tires man.
That is like a must anytime you detail your car, but anyways good wax job.

Thanks for all the comments. I usually don't bother cleaning the tires because it's pretty pointless with how dusty the roads are out here but I probabaly should have done it for the pictures.

Also, I'm not a man

It looks real nice, but why would you drive it in dirt after you detailed it?

My car never stays cleaner longer than a day so I wanted to get some cool pics before it got too dirty

I used to live in a similar area on the eastern coast. Lots of dirt/gravel roads, kinda discourages doing a good detail. Looks good!

I live in 29 Palms, about an 45 minutes outside Palm Springs.

It sucks out here, I can go to the car wash and wash my car and by the time I get home it already has a coat of dust on it
