    Well I started saturday with a Meguiar's clay bay. After which I sprayed the car down with Stoners Invisa-glass and wiped it down with micro fiber towels. Then I did one rim with chrome polish and called it a night. Sunday I started of by dusting the car down and went back to rubbing To save this from being to long here it is:
    Cleaner Wax
    Show car glaze #7
    Deep crystal Carnauba Wax.

    Finally tonight I took some pictures and here they are.

    Looks good man, x2 on the spacers though.
    Also I like that GTP supercharged decal you have running across the bottom, but I think it would look better if you debadged the doors. Bot the decal and the door badge is too much IMO.

    Besides the spoiler as I won't bring that up tell me something...

    In Pics #4 & #5, did you wax that sh*t in that is on the lower half of the bumper, if so then wtf...if it happened afterwards then that is fine...I woulda wiped it off before I took pics. But that's just me.

    Second question...why in god's name are you waxing the car AFTER you put a finishing wax on it such as the #7 glaze...see how hazy and cloudy your paint looks in the first three pics? That is because you put a wax on OVER the glaze...go wash your car with dawn and try again...this time with a fine or medium cut cleaner, then a swirl remover, then a wax, then a glaze. See the thread in the cleaning/tips section around the visual part of Rynoman03's GTP I detailed for him. That should give you an idea of what paint should look like when it is properly done IMO.

    I guess I didn't notice that sh*t on the bumper before I took the the pics. I drove it to work and then home and then to lot I took the pics in. I dusted it with my Cal duster and didn't notice the splash's. If referring to the paint peel and the two black dots, those are from a chick rearending my a while back and haven't made the time for touch up.

    #7 is a polish not a finish wax! Meguiar's recommends their Carnauba/polimer blend wax as the final step after the "polish #7" is applied. Pics may not be the best I was late getting to the airport, so I rushed a bit. But I do appreciate ya'lls input.
    An after market spoiler would be nice, but it isn't a priority. When I raised the spoiler 6 years ago it was a cheap way to make my car different. And by the way I like it!
