Great stuff Andrew.

I'm not allowed to post in the thread anymore though, I was getting 403 and 404 errors earlier. Weird that it works now.

Question for the experts:

Do pads "age out?" I have used the same set of pads from 2010, and they look just like new and feel like the same texture. Is there a number of uses or length of time interval for replacement?

Not that I've ever seen. Unless they start to come apart on you, I say use them indefinitely.

Detailing never ends:

Final product:

Paint wasn't that awful to start with, so only had to break out the Ultimate Compound for a few panels. Working with metallic paint was a bit weird, but it turned out alright.

Nice work....

@ Art, you can remove your comment that I'm a waxer, Jonell has me beat...

Reviving a year+ old thread with some factory/dealer installed options:

And fixed:

This time around I took it to a professional down in Huntersville and had it coated for a bit more robust protection. Bit expensive, but the car looks great. Next up: tint.

It's been mostly good so far. Just picked it up from club favorite John Marcum for some tint.

Can't wait to get my ass handed to me in CS.

Very nice ride Andrew, congratulations. Can't wait to see it.

I need a detailer. Like someone to actually do the detailing. I have a box of Zaino I haven't even broken the seal on. I knew there was a reason to have kids....
