to me, detailing a car is useless, because you put in all that labor, and a day later, your car looks like it did before. I have sworn off detailing the outside of my car forever. I only wash it. Nice job though.

this is what he used...
alot of clay bar, medernza 2 step polish system (intensive and final) and he used his trusty porter cable for application
finished off with some ps21s caranuba paste wax, which is the best per price wax you can get.(in his opinion)
if u have any more questions u can ask him..
the reason it took 2 days .. the weather wasnt that great on the first day and it started raining.. and there wasnt enough room in the garage to finish the job.
so he came all the way from Long island to Staten island .. just to finish the job. he's dedicated.

all that dirt and tar are gone..

detailing your car will only protect your car's shine. It is true that you might get dirt on it the next day, but just run some water on it. Its shiny again. That wax shine can last for a while. I used klasse to detail my car, and i love it.

you still have the blowtenzas on.

on the detail, looks very nice. very important for maintaining the finish on your car. also makes future washing/clean up much easier.

NOOOOO actually those are turanza's el42 came stock with the car.
i changed the tires to turanza LS V for the winter..
and my 18" i got Pirelli's Pnero (they will be on once the winter is over.

and i heard falkens are decent.. but will not last long.. and the sidewall on 512 falkens is kinda soft.

Hey MJG I hate you!!! Na, just kidding but I hate that my black max has SO many more chips and ****e on the front than yours does. Can't wait until I start working and get this biatch painted with a bra and stuff.

Anyways, goldie..great looking car, love the smoothness of the paint and the reflectiveness of the gloss
