You should polish your muffler and piping to a mirror that would look so good on your car

Edit: I had to come back and post more I cant get enough of your car. I am looking through your smugmug gallery now. I no now have a pic of your car as my wallpaper. Its so worth the amount of detail you put into cleaning this car. I love that firebird racing stripe decal you have on the hood. I have never seen that before. Now I want to go out and but that mother polish and re clay bar my car.
Thanks for all the compliments, and looking at my other photos. Pretty cool you're using it as a wallpaper too As for whether or not I like the other stuff more or not, can't really answer. The only thing I've ever used the car as far as wax, polish or clay bar is Mothers.

The muffler is close, but still needs some work. The piping is going to take awhile though. I also plan on doing a lot more chrome and polished pieces in the engine bay.


Thanks to everyone for the comments!!

haha, I get that all the time, but no it's not after Metallica. It's a long story to why that is the name

It was a couple of days broken up. Not exactly sure how long, but 7 hours plus would probably be right. I did a lot more then just the exterior though.
