Well since yesterday was in the 40`s my girlfriend wanted to wash her car and get the Michigan winter off it, luckily this winter has not been bad at all. So we washed her car with Meguirs Gold Class, then I just did a simple one step with "Pink Moose" with a Lake Country polishing pad and I think it came out great. After, I used some Poorboys QD+. The wheel wells were dressed, but since I have a gravel driveway when we moved the car for pictures, it obviously didn`t help in the situation so don`t mind the wheel wells for now. All the trim was dressed with a carbrite product, I cannot remember the name right now and I am at work. What I do know is that I need to get a dressing that lasts longer, does anyone reccomend Poorboys Trim Restore? Hope you enjoy the pictures, please lemme know what you think. I think it came out very wet and reflective for silver. Sorry for the lack of full sun pictures, we completed the car around 6:30 so the sun was almost down :( I will grab some more pictures today if the sun is out. I cant wait to try AJ on it when spring comes. *Don`t mind the ugly winter rims :faint: the last pic is with the summer rims on* Thanks for looking! :D

Looks good. You`re re-installing the summer wheels already in Michigan? I was VERY tempted to do the same earlier in the week. Yesterday it hit 56*F. But now we`ve got a chance for snow tonight. :(

Sorry maybe I made it confusing what I was saying, that last picture with the summer rims were taken this summer.

I think you mean - the last picture with the summer rims were taken last summer :D



Being from New Orleans I forget about the need to change wheels/tires for the winter. I am glad I don`t need to be concerned with that!

You`re lucky :) By the way your car looks great. I was down in Gulfport, Mississippi around thanksgiving helping in the hurricane releife effort and it was awesome weather down there, Im jealous :)

Thank you. Yes the weather down here for the most part is fine. The humid summers are a bear sometimes but the rest of the year is great.



Your generosity of helping is more than appreciated. Thanks for stepping up and heading to the Gulf Coast to give a hand. It was certainly needed and I personally :thx

Very nice! The paint looks really wet. I don`t know if RMG mixed with VM will affect the durability of the wax that is in VM though. Any updates on durability would be helpful. :)

Nice job. I didn`t even see this thread until I posted my sunset pics. I think your sunset was better. :)
