Washed n Waxed (Lots of Pics)

[bigboibbp]

So spent the weekend (which for me entails, sunday and monday) getting the car clean and waxed. Spent about 15 hrs (over 2 days )(including frequent trips to o'rileys) over all i think it came out pretty good. not really any before pics, but the last time i waxed it was in december.

Now im just waiting on ccfl headlights, and led tails, and switchbacks....


Pics are in order

My Tools (First clay barred with mothers clay bar the covered scratches and swirls with Meguire's swirl x and ultimate compound before waxing)
