Clayed with Megs Clay Bar

Wheels got clayed and M21



No before pictures since it wasn`t too bad (at least I thought so until I saw the end results)

Nice Job! If you get time I would love to see that flake in the sun. I love how #21 makes flake really pop. Great Job!

That *IS* a clean GS-R!!!!:D:D

[CleanGSR]

Thanks. I`ll try to get some full sun pictures of the pearl on my lunch break afterwhile. I find it kind of hard to capture it with a camera though.

I`ve been waiting for these pictures!! Thank you for posting them!! #21 looks great :)



The last time I polished my car was about 2 months ago, after using #21 it either covers up my marring or the sun is reflecting back so bright you can`t see it :chuckle: Either way Im happy with the results and it looks like you are too! Keep us posted on the durability and how it looks after a couple of washes. So far the look hasn`t died down for me. Still looks dripping wet. Again, great job!

It`s glass...

[abbeysdad]

The paint looks perfect!



Food for thought:

With a perfect finish, my eye is drawn to the tires and although they`re clean, they need some kinda dressing. I`m not all that fond of the wet look, but a satin finish there would be awesome.



(On my frost white ride, with excellent finish, the eye is drawn to the black trim and if it`s not outstanding, it sticks out like a sore thumb.)

[CleanGSR]

Yeah, I saw that same thing when uploading the pictures. I usually keep them dressed with the dupont "teflon" tire wet because it makes them look clean but not high gloss. Unfortunately that stuff only lasts a couple of days. I need to do some research on a better tire wet.

I need to do some research on a better tire wet.



I use Meguairs All Season Dressing and it really works great and holds it`s look! Might be worth looking into.

[CleanGSR]

Is that available local? I`m getting ready to go on my lunch break and will stop and check on that. Thanks.

[CleanGSR]

This is the best shot of the pearl that I could get. For some reason it`s really hard to capture on camera.
