Washed the car with armorall car wash, and used Turtle Wax's new Ultra Gloss Wax. It went on and off very easily compaired to some other stuff I have tried. I dont really know how much it helped out my paint, but I think it did a fairly good job for a one step process. Anyways heres some pictures!

My car before I washed it... what it looks like every day and what ya'll dont ever see



Heres a picture of part of the hood I waxed, other part was just washed


Reflection of the tire foam spray I used


Another reflection


And the whole car...


So... tell me what you think??? I dont think red gives that nice of a reflection in the paint than some darker colors but oh well.

I think it looks great. I picked up that Turtle Wax High Gloss stuff at Wal-Mart the other day but I was set on getting NXT so I put it back on the shelf. If I would have known it looked that good I would have bought the High Gloss stuff and saved the extra money. The main catch though is durability...I wonder how long that stuff lasts. I bought some of the Turtle Wax "Hard Shell" with carnauba or whatever it's called and it was supposed to be their longest lasting wax yet. I wonder how the High Gloss compares.

And the shine on your red looks great. Try having a yellow or white car that's nearly impossible to get a good shine out of using anything other than Zaino. I mean yeah it shines, but it never looks really deep or "wet" like red and black can be.

Looks good. I am waiting to get a polisher before I wax my car. I don't think it has been waxed since she was new.

Get some FMS C Springs, thats what I put in mine and the drop was JUST RIGHT. It seemed like it dident drop that much after I put them on but after it sat all winter in the garage I noticed that it had settled alot more. Its right were I like it now and it looks good. I dont have any Issues of scraping on anything and thats even w/ my low hanging exhaust system.
