Well it was a nice day today so I thought i'd get all that nasty salt off.
Dawn wash -> Pantene ProV wash -> Nxt Tech Wax (Just bought today) was the order I went in. nothing too fancy but I'm happy with the results.

Notice my keen eye for photographic locations!






Comments/suggestions are welcome.
I plan on black zr1s, black manta (carried to back), smoked signals. Gotta put my rear inserts on, and gonna do !sidemold in the next few weeks. Oh, and I'm going to lower it of course!

Eh, im not really a fan of berger panels.
And I think its just pantene, or so he said in the thread. i dont know if i can link over but if you look in show & shine youll see it as a sticky there about detailing. Plus I think its cheaper than normal car wash chemicals. lol
