pics after detail job on a freind and org members max.

I know pictures dont really do it justice but before I got to it the paint was dead,

first I washed the car with Gliptone Wash N Shine Soap and powerwashed it off then after drying I wheeled it with Gliptone Extra Heavy Buff Clear compound
then I glazed it with Gliptone Pro Glaze
afer that I waxed it with Gliptone Pro Clear Wax

I also did the engine bay and interior, I was very happy with the way it came out and it was worth the time.

yeah as long as you dont spra it full force on anything fragile like wires because if the stream is too direct it can cut right through it. I use a strong power washer you can pick up a smaller one that may be easier to use.

I gotta say, u've found the fountain of youth for that car, looks like brand new, great work on the engine too!

? - will the results be as equally impressive on an Arctic White Pearl finish?

Yeah thats a good question. I have read up on some other products and some dont do well on lighter colored cars, for instance p21s is supposed to be good for light colored cars. I personally have sterling mist. Right now I have some serious road grime and bug stuff that needs to come off up front. Gliptone make something for that.

mine wasnt that powerful so i just sprayed everything

but cover up the obvious stuff like the battery and air filter (if you have a pop charger style intake)

I didnt cover up the battery just his filter, but yeah gliptone stuff will work as well on a light colored car, and if you email me about the bugs and stuff Ill check into the best soap they make, just send me an email if you want to buy any of the stuff

just finish detailing the outside again. I used the Gliptone quick shine spray, and a cotton cloth. man it was dirty but it was extreamly easy to clean after using the Gliptone wash and wax. Now it looks hot posting more pics in a few, upload the pics from my cellular camera. Man pics just dont do it justice.

Jay side note* The sponser stickers are coming off, the edges are coming apart there goes my money *
