After over a year of ownership I finally got around to giving the Max the attention it deserves. Took it to a local car wash (big mistake...would have been better to wash by hand), then clayed, polished and waxed. I also used some polish mentioned in another thread on my headlights and it worked wonders (the yellowing and haze was driving me nuts). Unfortunately I used my friend's camera and it turns out when I was taking the before pictures they weren't actually being saved Ah well...enjoy!

When I bought it:

 

Today after wash/clay/polish/wax:









Products Used:

 

Wow..Love that color! I bet its amazing in person!! Great Job!

 

nice job, looks great!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i think i saw ur car like last week on parmer/ I35, look really nice

 

Max looks very clean.Drop it and yer good.

 

Super clean, would look bad @$$ with a drop.

 

Whats the tints %?

 

I've got 35% tint. Definitely considering the drop, but as far as suspension goes I kind of like the idea of getting some SFCs first. We'll see, first I have to redo my sound system ASAP because my bose crapped out on me and driving around with one speaker is driving me insane.

I don't think you saw me on parmer or '35 last week, the car's been with me in Palo Alto for the last 11 months or so!

 

great results with the 3 step system. did u use it by hand?

 

Yea I did it all by hand. It took me 3-4 hours, but this was my first time using clay/polish/wax so I went slow. Next time I will definitely hand wash the car instead of taking it to a car wash, they leave way too much junk still on the car, it wreaked havoc on my clay bar.

 

Get some red/clears! Otherwise looking really clean. Shaved trunk is also sexy...

 

I really...really want to get some red/clears. But I have to do audio first, and it's hard for me to justify spending cash on a purely cosmetic mod. I feel like the money I spend on red/clears could be put towards SFCs or springs/shocks.

 

simply beautiful man mines the same color combo but i need to clean hard lol
