Finally Decided to really detail the paint on my car... no 56k

I have had the car for ~ 1.5 years, and really have only done a light polish/wax on the car… the wax didnt hold up well this winter, so there were a BUNCH of swirl marks and oxidation and all sorts of problems, it was basically annoying to wash the car and see how bad it really was… so i bit the bullet and spent some $$ to do it myself.

I REALLY dont have the patience or the back to do this in one sitting, but today was a great day to do it, so i figured WTF

Before the wash (there is a bunch of pollen where i work, that + yesterdays quick rain =this:

Otherwise looks great!

Nice M3 hotnesss.

Looks great when did you get a goddamn cf trunk?? Awesome car man one of my favs :tup:

i kinda like them darker… i dont have cats, so every time i clean them it lasts ~ 4 days… and takes me like an hour per tip to clean… doesnt seem worth it

I’m not a huge fan of nxt tech wax but nice work

Next time tape the car up

i was going to do s100, but it was teh end of the day, and i hate trying to take that stuff off, and NXT removes VERY easily
