Well I started saturday with a Meguiar's clay bay. After which I sprayed the car down with Stoners Invisa-glass and wiped it down with micro fiber towels. Then I did one rim with chrome polish and called it a night. Sunday I started of by dusting the car down and went back to rubbing To save this from being to long here it is:
Cleaner Wax
Show car glaze #7
Deep crystal Carnauba Wax.

Finally tonight I took some pictures and here they are.

looks good bro. good job on the wax and clean job. man i gotta say, i really dont like it when people put those spacers between the trunk lid and the spoiler. sorry but i cant stand it.
 
first pic, i was like yeah! 2nd pic, alittle confused. 3rd pic, same confusion. 4th pic, oh no! 5th, same oh no! 6th, why? 7th, still why? 8th pic was alittle better!
 
Looks good man, x2 on the spacers though.
Also I like that GTP supercharged decal you have running across the bottom, but I think it would look better if you debadged the doors. Bot the decal and the door badge is too much IMO.
 


Besides the spoiler as I won't bring that up tell me something...

In Pics #4 & #5, did you wax that sh*t in that is on the lower half of the bumper, if so then wtf...if it happened afterwards then that is fine...I woulda wiped it off before I took pics. But that's just me.

Second question...why in god's name are you waxing the car AFTER you put a finishing wax on it such as the #7 glaze...see how hazy and cloudy your paint looks in the first three pics? That is because you put a wax on OVER the glaze...go wash your car with dawn and try again...this time with a fine or medium cut cleaner, then a swirl remover, then a wax, then a glaze. See the thread in the cleaning/tips section around the visual part of Rynoman03's GTP I detailed for him. That should give you an idea of what paint should look like when it is properly done IMO.

I guess I didn't notice that sh*t on the bumper before I took the the pics. I drove it to work and then home and then to lot I took the pics in. I dusted it with my Cal duster and didn't notice the splash's. If referring to the paint peel and the two black dots, those are from a chick rearending my a while back and haven't made the time for touch up.

#7 is a polish not a finish wax! Meguiar's recommends their Carnauba/polimer blend wax as the final step after the "polish #7" is applied. Pics may not be the best I was late getting to the airport, so I rushed a bit. But I do appreciate ya'lls input.
An after market spoiler would be nice, but it isn't a priority. When I raised the spoiler 6 years ago it was a cheap way to make my car different. And by the way I like it!:th_winking:
 
Im diggin it.. where did u get the GTP decals at? i really like those. and X 8, 9 , 10 ... whatever it is on the spoiler, its ur car though if u like it thats all that matters :)
 


looks good but the spoiler killed it significantly for me maybe if it was only a half inch it would look nice its too high and looks ricer lower it and it might look better ...
