Didnt have to work today so I figured I would clean the car up.
Washed, Clayed, Polished, and Waxed... Didnt have a full day to detail, but it looks WAY better then it did before.

nice job, what'd you use for polish?

 

mothers.
i also did it by hand.

last time my friend used the pc and poorboys, no doubt it looked better with those- but i didnt have the time today

 

Normally polishing by hand is worthless since you won't be able to do enough polishing to get out swirl marks or anything, but on yellow swirls don't really show, so a little hand polish can bring back some shine and prep it for wax. Looks good!

 

Tell me about it. I spent 90 minutes last night polishing my trunk and Driver/Passenger quarter panels and I still see tons of swirl marks and surface scratches. I need to invest in a PC. My arm can't take much more.

 

Nice job Britt!

 

thanks everyone. yeah, yellow isnt a hard color to clean up-
but then again, there is NO comparison to a very clean yellow car, to a very clean black car.
yeah, yellow looks good clean, but darker colors look way better to me.

 

Yeah. My Cobra was Zinc, and my GT is black. Nothing beats a clean black car, but it sure was nice having the Cobra that I could go weeks, actually months without cleaning (mainly because I only drove it when it was nice).

 

i agree w/ya.
i can go months w/out doing anything to mine- i dont like to though.
