I never heard that or seen a 07 w/o a sharkfin, but we know salesman are always right.

Nice, the only thing I think you are missing is the wheels, looks dirty and tire dressing. Good job in the paint.

I know, the wheels are a mess. We tried to get them cleaner but it wasn't happening. We did however use some of the claybar on them and it was starting to wear off some of the baked on grime but for the most part, those are a job for another day. As for tire dressing, hahah, you won't beleive what I had to do. The whole week I kept telling myself to get some because I ran out after last year (I use this turtle wax clear gel stuff that works wonders and smells amazing). After everything I realized I forgot the tire dressing and I knew if I went out to get some, my car would be dirty by the time I got back, so i headed to my closet and got some of my leather shoe lube. Didn't do that great of a job but was worth a try.

Lookin' good.. What products did you use?

I recently did, Wash, Claybar, Wash, Prewax, Seal&Glaze then Wax. Did this on 3 of my cars, + my parent's Audi.

That was about 3 weeks ago.

This week, I plan on waxing all 3 cars again. Last time I used the Maguiers NXT, this week it will be The Turtle Wax Ice and maybe another layer of Mother's Canauba.

Usually I use Turtle wax ice in between full details. For the claybar, I got the mothers claybar package which came with a claybar, 1 bottle of detailer (which is to be used as the lubricant for the claybar), and a bottle of caranuba wax. I did the detail about a week ago and i still cant get my mind around how amazing the paint it.
