Default It's like looking in a mirror!

I have never been totally happy with my S's factory paint job and shine, but I figured I would have to live with it unless I wanted to spend an entire weekend in my garage applying layer unpon layer of Zaino. So, I lived with it...until this weekend.....

I was very impressed with a lot of the finishes at yesterday's meet (December 8th Seattle/Vancouver), so I asked for some advice on getting the best shine, and set out to work this morning. It only took me a couple of hours and a lot of elbow grease, but the result is exactly what I was looking for. Black Sparkle!

Check out the pics:













Yeah baby!

Is it sick to be this much in love with a car?

For all that are curious, I used Meguire's products exclusively -thanks for the advice, you know who you are- (Deep Crystal Car Wash, Quik Clay Detailing System, Deep Crystal Polish)

Hope ya all like the pics.

-Vincent

No, not at all. You weren't the only one that took advantage of sundays weather to spend some quality time with their "S" cleaning up after saturdays wet excursion.

BTW: Was great meeting you saturday.
