Default labor day special for my baby...

finally got a day to relax and detail my IS. I took the time to wash, clay bar, polished and waxed with my portercable buffer...loving it.

Also changed the oil, changed my HID headlights.

the only thing left to do is replace my broken foglight..still trying to figure out how to take it out. maybe i'll just give up and let the dealers do it.

anyway, here are some pics!
only had my 50mm lens

thanks guys!!.. for clay, i got the MOTHER brand, it comes with the shine spray...i think pretty much any clay would do. for polish I used Pinnacle polish
and for wax I used the Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Paste Wax, pretty nice stuff. i think the porter cable really made a differences as to polishing with your hands. but it does take a lot of time...hell lot...

Oh! Shiny!!

I really need to get my car detailed. It's been 1.5 years and I haven't truly detailed it. Washed here, waxed and polished there, but never detailed...
