Try running a search with "zaino" and "pic" in the terms...might turn up some better pictures than I did w/my quick 2-sec. search.

[edit:]hmmmm, now that`s interesting...a double/partial post! wow, how`d I do that??[/edit]

I just reached 30 yesterday mid-night so that Jetta owner must have more coats by now. However, it looks like he got a lot better reflection. Time to work my way up 30 more coats. LOL.

William,

I`m not so sure about that. You`ve got an awesome car with a killer shine IMO. What mods have you done?

**jr weeks** · 03-25-2002, 12:45 AM

Sorry to say the Jetta is NOT my car. But i`m trying to work to that standard with mine FWIW.

My `89 Supercoupe with a little over 30 coats. Cheers.

AWESOME SHINE!

That jetta is GM SHYNES daily beater over at the corvette forum........

**touhy** · 03-25-2002, 10:00 AM

Thanks everyone. Looks like the temp will break 50 this weekend so I will get to work.

**imported_Intermezzo** · 03-25-2002, 11:07 AM

OOps! Sorry about the confusion!

**rstype** · 03-25-2002, 05:39 PM

A shiny Jetta as a beater?! Wow....

Guitarman, that is probably the best looking Thunderbird I saw! The "all-black" appearance with the addition of the chrome Cobra wheels is just excellent. Incredible...

If my memory serves me correctly, you painted it all[/b] yourself to black from silver... and also colorsanded it, right?

Hey, Thanks! The mods are only cosmetics. Basically Exterior: body kit, 19" wheels, exhaust all by Brabus. Interior: Brabus steering wheel, Eclipse Head Unit & DVD, Alpine Navigation & TV tuner. Diamond speakers & 3x10" subs. No engine mods and not planning to since I drive so slowwwww

I have my eyes on the new E class coming out fall this year, but unfortunatelly I won`t be able to make my move for at least few more years because I decide to buy a house this year. I`m not sure if I remember correctly, but I beleive I saw you posted before that you were also in the market for buying a house. I hope everything has been going very well for you. I first started looking at houses here in L.A. 2-3 years ago and wasn`t very serious, and now I``m more serious and looking at them again and WOWWW can`t believe the prices have gone up so much!! And even with these rediculous prices the houses are sold FAST. Can`t believe it. Oh well, It will be my first time buying a house so I guess I`ll just start something small and work my way up in future.

They just built some 2 bedroom townhouses down the street from work in NJ, I went to look at them during lunch and drove away as I saw a big sign over the sales office model "....starting in the mid 400`s......" DAMN! For a townhouse?! Prices went up about 100K or so over the past 3-5 years.........sucks!

Hey guys, thought I`d post up another one for ya. Haven`t posted a lot since I sold the camaro, lots of stuff going on in life right now. But the show must go on right? Well as I`ve been busy, pics have been stacking up!

Here is a SS I`ve done twice before. Been caring for this car for about 4 years I think. Been over a year since the last time I saw it though. Since then, its been through a move and lots of mods, and needed some attention. I was happy to make it look as good as it sounds.

Process:

-Foamed with Dawn
-Dawn wash
-Zaino Claybar (Z18)
-ONR as clay lube
-Mothers Chrome Polish on tips
-Gloss-It Signature Tire Gloss
-Menzerna SIP x2
-PCXP LC orange 5.5"
-IPA wipedown
-Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant

Before pics

SWIRLS!!!! Their days are numbered!
