Default Its that special time of year again...

Winter wash and wax time!!! One of my personal favorite times of winter Took advantage of this fairly nice Saturday and got the garage to almost 18 degrees. Some of you that know me will remember another post of mine referring to the civic as "shiny like an apple". The civic is long gone and the new machine does not portray the same apple like qualities...


Sorry I am in transition phases with cameras and had to use a crappy one:

Thanks for the compliments guys. I actually only detailed the car once when i got it.

I started with menzerna intensive polish, followed by menzerna p106ff. Ever since i got rid of all the swirls and imperfections, I just throw a coat of Klasse wax on to keep her protected. Since the summer, even with winter driving, i have not added any new swirls or scratches and it still looks flawless even in direct sunlight.


My best friend however is still:
