Default New Pic 92 SC300 5-Speed Pinnacle Wax Job

My SC300 ready to be put away for the winter. Takes me about 8 hours to get the car to like this - but boy is it worth it.

Not bad at all! You know the car looks good with the mirror-finish look

wonderful job. by the timeframe it is obvious you toothbrushed every crack in the car... and it really does make a difference. it is the little details that make the car look "clean" V/S "showroom clean"
