Thanksgiving weekend detail....pics posted!

Post by cptnsolo77 »

Decided to do a full exterior detail on the Vibe this past weekend. Car came out awesome, cant tell from the pics but heres what I did:- Mothers claybar- 2 coats of Meguiars NXT wax- Turtle wax headlight restore kit- Mothers Black to Black on all black trimCar looks fantastic & paint is smooth as glass to the touch. The NXT wax was very easy to apply and came off very easily! Vibe looks better now than when I bought it. I should have spent more time on the headlights but after one day of claybaring, one day waxing then another for the interior I was just too damn tired at that point to spend more time on the headlights.I just wanted to finish! This is the 3rd car that I have clayed & it NEVER ceases to amaze me. Well worth the effort. Next stop is a pair of Polk DB speakers !http://s810.photobucket.com/al...6.jpg
