Long story about the vanity plate... I'm not crazy about it but under the circumstances I had to think of one fast that wasn't taken and that one wasn't.

Yea, I've been meaning to align the exhaust better, just haven't gotten around to it.

And yes, I also need to add the 15mm Spacers all around as well to my sig.

Thanks for the comps guys!!

Was browsing some of my other pics and found this one... I just thought the reflection in this shot is insane.

Car looks good man. I just did the same process on Monday, but waxed after the polish. It took about 7 hours. I need to get a random orbital to make it go quicker. How long did it take you?

Even with a PC, that process took 6 1/2 hours. Detailing a car right takes time, no matter what machines you have.

And no, not from Cleveland. I'm From around Columbus.

black always look nice clean.
maybe it's the lighting angle, but it looks like those exhaust tips could use a little more shine.

but I should talk, my tips are sooty as hell right now ...

Dang, that looks superb! Making me miss my black car now! lol
Seriously, job well done. When black is clean, it's the best color around.

Looks good Yea the paint on that car was hard to keep up for sure especially being black. Its very soft paint IMO.

How did it do in the snow for you?

EDIT:

on the exhaust when I had the car I had to zip tie the exhaust for it to sit level. I know it sounds crazy or well it did to me but a few members told me to try it and it worked out. I think I had the same exhaust on the car when I had it that you have on it now.
