Finally got a clear day here in the Bay Area. I took the chance and washed the car before the rain started up again later this week.

I went though a 5 step process:

wash
claybar
cleanser wax
yellow wax
glaze

+interior detailing and windows and wheels and other

Took me 4 hours

pics are included below

 

my favorite pic:

My lovely assistant

 

Looks fantastic. What sort of wheels are those? Do you happen to know what offset and wheel sizes? TIA.

Sweet car! What kind of rims are those?

Nick

 

here are pics of the rolled fender lips. these were requested earlier. The fenders were rolled and then coated with a protective paint & texture close to that of the bottom 1/4 of the door and then sealed w/ a clear coat. You cann't really see that in the pics, but you can barely see it in real life as well.

 

Looks like they say "gram lights."

How did you like using the claybar.. I never tried but want to. I didnt think thier was too many people out their with the same rims and exhaust as me look really good. JIC and Volk cant go wrong.

Volk Gramlights 57pro.

 

Gram Light 57pro's sorry I was looking up the offset

size 18x8 in front (235/40/18) 18x10 rear (265/35/18) offset +38 in rear, I forget the front..

 

The claybar is awesome, I use it often, and it's a lot of work, but it really makes a difference especially on 10yr old paint.

There's a fine line between using to much and too little lubricant. If you use too much, the claybar won't do it's job and just pass over the dirt. if you use too little, the claybar will stick to the paint and leave a big chunk of it on the surface. Do one panel at a time, and be sure to buff off all excess lubricant (I guess you COULD use water, but water is dirty. I use the showtime detailer that comes with the mother's claybar).

This was my 1st time using the glaze. which takes Even LONGER and more time to haze than wax. It also made this squeeking noise which was different. This took some major buffuing, but really put that final touch on it.

 

damn that looks nice

 

sweet car man, real clean. Those wheels look real good on a red car !!

 

Thats looks great! And Clay bar does rock!!! I just have to wait for Spring to come around before I can do that stuff. Way too cold right now over here...

 

damn your car looks beautiful

 

oops forgot the butt shot

 

BTW.. thanks for all the comments
