Spent 4 hours today at the car wash. This was my first time ever using a clay bar. I dont think it turned out too bad. Gotta realize tho that the paint on this car has been very dull ever since I bought it so the fact that its this shiny is amazing.

 

let me know what you think about the overall feel of my car. I know it would look really sweet with a lip kit but where I live now with my drive way its not practical. (I already scrape the front if I take it too fast)

 

Looks great! One suggestions would be to take some time and really clean the wheels. I see a little build-up at the base of each spoke. Other than that, I like it a lot.

looks clean

 

thanks! Thing is I did spend about 3 hours on the the 2 driver side wheels alone about 2 weeks ago. Both the brakes went bad on that side and they were covered in brake dust. Cleaning where the spokes meet the rim is a real pita.

BTW it looks alot shinier in person, the sun was starting to get behind the houses so its hard to get a good picture of the reflections. The hood shows it good in the one pic.

 

Looking clean, the weather in florida really sux **** now, so my max is durty.how much did it run you to wash? ohh and before i forget.......Go back and clean the wheels !!!!

 

the wash was $5 for 12 minutes. That car wash is a really good one. its got all the different types of rinses/waxes/conditioners/soaps/wheel&engine cleaners

 

Clean, some different wheels will make it look a lot better.

 

I like the wheels, just not the center caps. Shave the rear burger. That's all I've got, the car looks good.

 

Ya the rims were covered with brake dust when I bought the car. They are ALOT cleaner than when I first bought it. Its a pita to clean where the spoke meets the edge though.

Im hesitant to shave the trunk, on my last max, you could see a faint difference in the paint that I didnt like.

 

BUFF IT OUT

 

I dont have a buffer nor any experience with one.

 

Pay someone to do it.

 

Looks really clean and I like the overall look of the car. The rims aren't horrible looking, and they show off the brakes nicely; just need cleaned where the spokes meet like others have said.

I also have to say that the rear end would look way better with it shaved, if you need directions/ tips on how to buff something like that out I can help you with that, just IM me on AIM. You don't need an orbital buffer either (though it usually helps); just some paint products.

 

looks great bro.. nice work

 

actually, I like it without a lip kit, looks like the clay did wonders for your max

 

thanks, ya it really did help out the shine. I still want a lip kit tho, maybe next summer when Im living at a different place where the drive way isnt super steep.
