The sicksix is looking great man. I normaly don't like six bangers, but I love how you take care of yours, and your mod list should make it one hellova auto-x car as well, as I hear teh v6 cars handle well b/c the motor sits behind the k memeber, and you have a few suspension goodies as well

Having using Tropicare for the past 2 years, I decided to try the NXT a couple of weeks ago and now can say that I will be sticking with NXT.
My steps were washing, claying, scratchX, 3 coats of Meguirs polish and 3 coats of NXT. My car's color has never looked deeper and the shine was amazing and still is after 2 weeks.
Car looks great by the way.

Maybe I'm being overly critical, but you definately spent some time doing the whole process here. Why not spend some extra time and align the bumper cover, hood, headlamp doors and fenders? Would make the car look MUCH nicer!

Hes done all the body work himself from the time that it was in a wreck, I give him a thumbs up for that! Hes got it looking good, the only thing thats off is the hood, I gave him some ideas on how to maybe fix it, but how knows without actually being there looking at it

Hey now, ****! the Powerball payed off...they bling now and don't look gunmetal anymore!
Huh? How has it paid off when it's not paid for?
BTW, car looks great and wish I could make it this weekend, but I got a little anniversary stuff to take care of!

Car looks great man! Nice work.
To save you some time, layering NXT isnt really worth it, it doesnt layer hardly due to cleaners etc. your pretty much taking off the previous coat with the new one.

^ He's correct. Although I do 2 coats just to make sure I cover the whole car completely.... 3 coats isnt gonna hurt but isnt totally necessary if your confident you covered the whole car with 1-2 coats.
