I like the way my nostrils blend into the front bumper

I don't really like the lines that go across the nose on the ws6 hood

yeah, washing is one thing but if you really want to bring the shine back a clay bar and a good waxing does wonders

I can't wait for this spring, I'm gonna polish it up nice

here's the step I took

1- washed car with dawn soap to strip off all old wax
2- clay bar and lubricant
3- washed with car soap
4- wax with mother's carnuba wax
