Default Pics of the 928 after bath and clay bar treatment

I busted my a$$ this morning, the shark had some water spots and some surface scratches I had to get out, so after 4 hours of work here is the shark with the H5 headlamps, new rubber and clean scratch free surface. I love this car when it is clean but black is such a pain in the a$$!

Check out the reflection of the clouds in the hood!

Yeah but black looks bad-***. You have a nice color combo and with those H5's it looks hot! Like the wheels also.

Try this tonight, last night i noticed something on mine with the lights up. I stood to the side while it was warming up and saw the ring of the glass as a cool halo effect to people who see them from the side.

Nice Shark, would be nicer without the front plate advertizing
To me now, black is the best color for the old body style.
I use the "California duster" every night before covering her up, I don't have to wash it as much, a real time saver...

Just did this treatment on my S4...... Audi S4. The car is 6 years old and looks brand new after the clay bar treatment.

Looking good!!

Luckily for us Porsche painted 928's very well....to hold up this long and still look so good!!

You should try rejex....that stuff works great and is really easy to use! Several top concours competitors use it!

My wife gave me the plate for X-mas for my other Porsche, if I did not put it on this one....there would be hell to pay.

I used the Meguairs Clay Bar, I really did not like it as I am used to the Mothers Clay Bar. It seemed that the Meguairs took longer for the finished product as I have used the Mothers time and time again and it takes less effort.
