Default Pictures after the bath

There is really nothing like driving a spanking clean car that looks like it just drove off of the dealer's lot. I feel really good about the way the finish on the car is holding up after my detail this spring. I carefully wash it with two buckets, a sheepskin mitt, and blot dry. For whatever reason, the car just seemed to look better today than it has recently. I waxed it last week, but gave it a final buffing today, after it dried off. Couldn't resist the self portrait.

Looks great, Larry! I love the contrasting carbon/red on the interior. Very nice! What might look great on that car would be the red seatbelts if you can find a set... It might border on too much but I love the red/black contrast with the CF! Enjoy!

Thanks guys. Kato, I have seen other guards red cars with painted sport seats and the red belts. I don't think that's too much for the interior. Not sure how easy it would be to DIY install the red seat belts, if I can find them. For now, I'm just enjoying it the way it is.

Black Magic - Wet Shine - Liquid wax. But, to be honest, you need to know that I had a detail and polish done to the car this spring. The wax does put a nice finish on the car, though.
