Was over at a friend's house and we decided to clean the whip up real nice. We washed it a couple times, clay barred it, and waxed it. Here are some pics of the car after claybar.

Then before the wax, we decided to do this.

Then here are some pics of the sidemarkers at night. This is after the wax btw. Note the pollen caught by the flash. Its so annoying having a yellow car every morning.

Car looks great, but that nightshade job on the side markers looks like complete shit. Doesn't look even or like it even covered the whole marker.

Yeah, I know. And I did. I also cleaned out part of my garage and organized my million dollar detailing collection. I also went out for brunch with the mother. It was a busy day, but you still should have called me.

Well in that case....Thank you my good man.

A friend did it. He was low on nightshade when we started. So he only coated the front for now with one coat. Once he gets another can we are gonna coat the whole thing. I like it for the time being. And was a lot cheaper than buying them shaded.

What did you buy to put everything in? I need to buy one to keep my growing collection together.
Thank you. I completely agree.

You can vouge for his nightshading though. They are normally very good.

I bought a cheap $20 Rubbermade shelf thing. It barely holds half of my junk. I'll get a nice cabinet like Kyle in the future.

And WTF is vouge? Learn some English.

Im talking about the bag you carry with you. And vouge is a word. I just dont know how to spell it correctly. By saying it, I mean you can account for his work.

You're supposed to buff a car before you wax it.

Also, armor-all those ugly tires.

i smoked my sidemarkers, but yours def need to be done. it doesn't look good day or night. it needs to be even coats it looks like its way lighter on the sides. It looks kinda like a rush job. take some time take the paint of of them and do it again but take your time. It will look great once its fixed!. Car looks awesome, I love the clay bar system!

I take it you did it. No harm meant. But, those look nothing like what you did with your 'balt. Get it to that level and it'll be sex.

After waxing tyler's car i have decided to paint my car satin black.

You can pick them up at Autozone, Wal mart, basically anywhere. But you wash the car real good, and then use the clay on it with the lubricant. It picks up all the contaminants and dirt that are on your paint and makes it noticeably smoother and better looking. Yesterday was my first experience with the clay bar.

It's not that hard to do clay bar. Just make sure u do it in a garage or in shade. sun ftl

I am pretty sure Cory has a can of Kyle's. If not, give him a little money and he can get a can from his cobalt site.

Thats why you move in between. Nice, paved roads, where you get the country twisties by driving about 5 min.

That's basically where I am. I'm an hour outside of Philly and the roads are nice, open, and rural but there are still potholes and such. PA takes great care of their roads.:nope
