I finally got around to detailing my car..
Wash with dish soap
Claybar
Wash with NXT soap
Meg's cleaner polish
Meg's deep crystal polish
Meg's NXT paste wax
And I also got my black turn signals in the other day, as well as the whistler mod which I didnt have many pics of, so I decided to go snap some today.
I took around 40 pictures, and most of them are pretty similar. I really wanted to work on my composition and processing, so I wasn't too concerned with getting a ton of angles. I just wanted to work with similar angles so I could learn what works best, and then finish them off in photoshop.
Anyways, here they are.
Sidenote: I KNOW I HAVE MUDFLAPS, DON'T REMIND ME! lol

Wow I read the title and was ready to come in here and give them a thumbs down but that actually looks pretty good. I guess it's just the clear corners that look ricey. I will go ahead and give your mudflaps a thumbs down though

Thanks for all the compliments... yea yea mudflaps i know i hear it all the time but it does keep it clean..
dish soap just strips off all the wax that is on your car and gets you down to just the clearcoat which is supposed to be more effective when your claybarring.
