Well yesterday I decided to do a full wash and wax. This is what I ended up doing:

1) First Meguiars Gold Class car wash
2) Meguiars Clay Bar w/ Quick Detailer
3) Second Meguiars Gold Class car wash
4) Meguiars #9 Swirl mark remover applyed w/ Porter Cable 7424
5) Meguiars #26 Yellow wax applyed w/ Porter Cable 7424
6) All wax removed w/ microfiber cloths.

Man let me tell you this thing shines like it just came off the showroom floor. The Porter Cable polisher was definitely well worth the money I paid for it and the clay bar did wonders with getting all those nasty bugs and contaminents off the paint. Here is a link to a couple pics of what the paint looks like after I was done. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks nice and glossy!

 

Very nice! Your hard work has paid off.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Nice Job

 

Yeah id did take a long a$$ time but i do think it was worth it. Wish it would stay like that all the time...but being in NE its tough.

 

Looks like my car, only the offroad version of it

 

Yeah...Lou has a bad case of the wheel gap.

Nice and shiny though. I'm hoping to take care of my car today or tomorrow.

 

Time for some Maxspeed springs at $92.00!!!

 

So clean you could eat off of it!

Um....have you eaten off of it?

 

Looks good man! That's about the same process i go through. Here is a link to my last full detail: Link

 

Now its time to drop that biach, and get rid of the fender gap

 

Yeah yeah i know the gap is bad but right now its just not in the cards...i do want to drop it though but i dont want it to be too stiff. Living in NE and this being my daily driver really restricts my options. Any suggestions?

 

 

I'm impressed Looks great

 

looks great, nice job!

NE has to be the toughest on our max's .. especially us poor suckers w/ the metallic colors and majestic blue ...

but hey, when they're clean they are the best looking cars around!

 

Yeah, the Meguairs is excellent, it makes the Majestic Blue really sparkle. I just rinsed her down and towl dried her, I'm taking a business trip tomorrow and want that deep blue to show nicely.

The NE is very hard on car finishes, especially the road salt.

 

Looks like mine. I use the Porter Cable buffer on my max and boy, does that thing let you put a shine on your max.


Looks good Loue.

If any of you other guys need help there a good web site out to help you. www.properautocare.com

looks GREAT!

It's always better to do-it-yourself. I hate paying for crappy service!!!

 

Thanks guys...i also wish it would stay like this but as we all know it doesnt. Now im shopping for a suspension...ahhhh it never ends!

 

Looks awesome. Looks like it is time for me to get my Max ready for the summer.
