Something tells me this weekend will have a wash, clay, wax session followed by day and night photoshoots
I haven't taken any real pics with the wheels or the grill.
Damn I love your car...it's gorgeous.
Do you polish and wax by hand or use a buffer?
Looks amazing. I'll pay you to come do my car...
Also, in reference to the tires, a couple products were recommended to me.
DP Wheel Glaze, its easy to apply to wheels, keeps the brake dust and other @!#$ from sticking to them, and whatever does stick comes off with a spray from the hose, instead of having to scrub them.
And for the tires, Pinnacle Black Onyx Gel
Its a Semi Gloss/Satin Gel, the guy said you rub it on and let it cure, there's nothing left to sling off like most gels or sprays. If you want a deep shine you can layer it but otherwise one coat will make the tires black, not glossy, and keeps the tire from drying out.
I met the guy at a car show and noticed how black his tires were were zero shine. They looked brand new. I ordered both, so if its something your interested in ill post up a couple pics when I get them and apply to the tires..

-Mothers Top coat
-California car duster
-Mothers quick detailer will remove any little spots of wax residue you've missed
all the waxing is done with a black and decker 10" waxer/polisher
Although this cleaning was just a wash and a quick wax
Very Nice, I might pick up a polisher then. I do it by hand, pain in the ass...
I use the same for the first two steps then
Klasse Sealant (Two Coats)
Pinnacle Souveran Carnabua Wax
Nothing after that. Usually Seal Once a year and wax when needed. Don't need the wax so I only apply it if im going for the ultra glossy look...
You def do a good job, you have a good attention to detail but that shows on every car you have owned...
Your still a worthless faggot though
you forgot the contributing part

Thanks for this info! I just checked out the Pinnacle website. I think I may order one of the 5 oz samples to try. Definitely post some pictures when you get it and use it. Assuming it doesn't leave a slick residue or anything (which it sounds like it shouldn'), I may try it on my rubber mats as they're starting to look kind of crappy.
Ryan, looks great as always! That's the same process I use when detailing the Vibe. After the clay bar, do you wash it again or do you just wipe it down as you go? Just wondering...
New rims look very nice, ever think to get rid of rear window wiper?

No second wash, it a pain is the ass to wax while water drips out of random places. Wipe down at a go

thanks, I hated the wheels when I first put them on but they have grown on me a ton, I love them now.
car looks great but im still waiting for the window tint to complete the package
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

the gloss black grill swap looks a little weird to me... i think its because it clashes with the abs black in the lower grill.
either way clean as usual.

I'm kinda gettin away from the tint idea. This car has a ton of dot matrix all over which is making me question the durability and how is will look.

It's not ABS black, (if your talking about the gray looking piece) it's actually smooth finish painted gray, all the colors have it gray. The next mod is painting that piece, I'm debating between gloss black like the grill or the same blue as the car, or doing that lower piece and the upper grill in the blue of the car.
I like the gray. Gives it some contrast from the dark blue and the black.
yeah something has to be done to match them. they clash too much. sounds like tough color choices again.
and as for tint, especially this week, it would help. but as for the dot matrix, is it something thats in the way of vision or could you vinly over it, then tint the rest. i agree though it still needs some form of tint.

"Ever think to get rid of a very convenient feature on your daily driver for absolutely no reason what so ever?",.... haha the things people do to their cars. That's almost as bad as removing your front wipers because "it looks better and I can just not drive in the rain". People like that are ridiculous. @!#$....

If that's the way you're doing it, blue for sure. I was thinking you were painting the entire thing, grill honeycombs, bars and all.
