Default Wash + Wax = Intro/First Pics

It finally stopped raining for a day down here in Florida so I thought I'd try out my new natty's blue wax. It came out so good that I had to snap some pics and give her a proper CL introduction.

This is my first car (I know, I'm lucky ) and I've had of for about a year. It's fairly stock for now, as I'm on a college student's budget, but I do have a couple of things in the works *cough* retrofit and BFI *cough*. Now, enough talk and onto the pics. I can take more at your request. Comments are appreciated.

Thanks. I got the wax from http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com. He's a club vendor and there's a 15% for CL members.

I'm in South Florida, of course, Pembroke Pines/Cooper City to be exact.

The headlights are little dirty and the driver side has condensation, but I'm not doing any thing about it b/c I'm in the process of doing a retrofit on another set of headlights....just wait .

And I actually did the BFI last week (I'll make a thread soon) and it definitely makes a MAJOR difference. You have to do it right though, skipping steps will give you less of an improvement.

Speaking of water, the water beads off of the wax like nobody's business. I've been pouring cups of water on the hood all day just to watch the water slide off to leave a dry, smooth finish. Big for Natty's blue on dark colored cars.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about Towers but I've never been since I've had the SC. I should be able to make it out to one soon.

Clean! Just buff those headlights clear. I'm looking forward to seeing how your BFI came out.
