Freshly waxed!

Phew, just got in from hand waxing my car. That took a while but it turned out nice. If anybody was wondering, I used Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax. It is supposed to be used as a step 3 wax, but I already used cleaning wax not too long ago. I applied the wax with a little hand pad, then let it sit for a little while until it dried a bit, then took it off with a microfiber rag. Here are the pix. Some of them look a little dark, but I took some with the flash off from inside my garage so you could see the reflection of the paint.

Yes, authentic Evo VIII wing. A guy traded me at the dealership for my OZ wing.. I guess he didn't like the high wing, he was an older man (55+yrs old). heh.

I'll have to get some far pix tomorrow morning before I head off to college for the day. I'll get some around 9am when the sun is at a good angle. I put the car in the garage for the night. Hopefully it isn't gonna rain. I put some rain-x type stuff on all my windows too.

good job. hand waxing is like slave labor. nobody wants to do it, but it's gotta get done
i'm j/k......but no seriously

metallic paint looks sweet too when waxed. i use the turtle shell. still comes out perfect.

Thanks for the input..
modelchris- yea man I really like that ralliart grill on your car. You could also get the evo grill like I have and switch em up every once and a while. That might be better than selling it.
