Default Washed over the weekend, just now getting a chance to get pics

Took a sick day to get over this migraine I've had for 24+ hours. Went outside and took some pics when it subsided.

Can't beat black paint, when it's all shined up!
The hard part is keeping it clean.

Yeah, about a month or so ago I hit it with the bar. Took a long time because I had white overspray in the clear and the claybar literally took it all out, it just took a long time to get it out. I still needa buff n wax her. She's never been hit with a buffer OR wax, I've just never had the time till now plus it was driven down a gravel road every day for work for 5 years so I never kept it very clean.

hope you are polishing your paint after. Clay bar will mar your paint. Especially black.

I loved my old black mach 1... nothing beats a freshly cleaned and waxed black car... but I wouldn't trade my metallic silver for anything.. more forgiving

Looks good

Nicely done, I especially love the GT/CS "ghost" stripe in the second picture and the hint of the Watts Link in the last one!
