detail...kinda So for those of you who don't know me or haven't seen my car in person it needs some help. The color is gorgeous! Blue-Green Chameleon is my personality in a paint color. So it has a bunch of swirls, scratches, chips, etc. The wing and rear bumper had the roughest paint on the whole car. It almost felt like sand paper. Well with a little elbow grease I got the wing and bumper smooth and got her to shine. Yes she's a sixer so be kind.

Thanks! 
well i washed it the week before. it was so dirty i washed it twice. i used a mothers clay bar on it after. then on the first of june i washed it again and pulled it into the garage, let it cool down, then clayed it again. i pretty much put my ear close to the paint when i clayed it so i could hear the dirt. After i didnt hear anymore in that spot then i moved on. Then i used the mothers wax and waxed the whole car. the process took almost 5 hours but it was worth it

Very clean looking car. After you clayed the car, did you just use the wax and no polish? Always wanted to own an F-Body that color. It's even better to see a woman who likes to actually take care of her car and wants it to look nice. Everyone I've ever known doesn't care in the slightest and lets their cars get covered in dust and scratches everywhere. Also, pretty funny to see all the typical internet males in here 
To the guys acting like retaards: knock the **** off. I don't think I need to come in and tell you guys to keep it clean... 
At any rate, I think the results look fantastic. Usually when someone posts up a picture or two of their process I still see fine swirls. I don't see a single one in your pictures, so to that I must applaud your effort!
