Your car looks nice except for the childish decal on the windshield. It makes the car look "cheap". I say get rid of it.

Just my 2 cents.

About the sticker on the windshield, it's not childish. It's 15 extra horses man. Didn't you know. Every sticker you have is 5 horses and a windshield sticker is 15 horses. HAHAHAHAH.... Stickers are for ricers. Anyway's....the wax job looks nice.

What's the story behind the sticker? Wasn't Voltron that big robot that was made up of 5 or 6 robotic lions? I spent time in Okinawa as a kid.

Also, are you still running the stock catback? Don't see it in your sig.

Lastly, she looks good man

ACK! You still have the stock pre-cat on??? Man, you're risking serious engine damage. How many miles on it? Mine was already starting to clog at 30k miles.....

Looks nice, and the sticker could be a lot worse IE : "Dont be a Rikki " or "APC" ....

About your stock cat, I am about to remove mine and I have heard about clogged ones ? mines more like blown out

Meguaries makes a good wax , but it doesnt seem to last long . Could be I wash my FD 3 times a week ..

S100 > Zaino > *.*

Go to the harley davidson dealer (yes, the harley dealer) and pick up a bottle of S100. It's not a wax, it's a polish. It won't last as long as zaino, but it will give you a deeper shine than you ever thought possible. Detailers have used this stuff for years, people are just now starting to hear about it. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed.

s100 is for polishing powdercoating

harly davidson tanks are painted with liquid paint and cleared with powdercoating

aka, it's not going to do your clearcoat any good on a typical auto paint job
