Washed & Waxed

Just washed and waxed the ride. Meguiar's classic car wash soap, followed by the chamois for a nice, clean, spot-free drying. Then I layed a nice coat of Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0, let it sit in the garage for a while... then buffed it out real good.

Went to get gas and a guy comes over to admire my handiwork... "Nice ride, dude."

Thank you.

Okay... fixed it. It's SO damn mirror-like that you can see reflections in the paint!

Yeah, she's still bone-stock aside from the intake. I can't spend any $$ on mods until I got that title, though. It's just this OCD thing I have about owing money.

I'll likely get some Vossen 20" wheels, but I doubt I'll drop it. The stock sport pkg is a stiff enough ride for me. I think a coilover would make it rough, no?

With a good set of coils you might even enjoy the ride more. You'll also have adjustable height to your liking as well as better handling. I'd recommend KWs but there are lots of options with different price levels

Checked 'em out. Looks like a plan.

Nice, I haven't use NXT in a while, since I moved to another wax, but might go back to it after seeing these pics!

Wait, so you let it sit after you wax it? I usually wax it and wait a minute or 2 then buff it out

My car's finish feels like silk when I am done. I know jack and sh*t about detailing, but I know how I like my car to look... the NXT does a good job, IMO. (my opinion is lightly weighted, as I know very little about detailing)
