06' Red Solstice

It's not mine but I get to drive it on occasion. Since my gf's dad was letting me drive it I thought I would give it a small detail job considering there was dirt on it when we picked it up from the dealership :wall I also removed the attrocious dealership sticker off the back of the car. If I ever buy a new car, I will raise hell if there is one of those stickers placed on my brand new baby. Lots of people seem to come to me wanting those stupid decals removed; I don't know of one person who likes them. Anyways, the dealerships idea of a detail was to throw on some slingy tire shine. I washed it with Gold Class and then threw on some blackfire polish by hand and then some gold class wax. I know that gold class doesn't last very long but it gave it a nice shine for the day. (I love my poorboy's products and can't justify using them on someone's car that isn't going to appreciate it like a detail nerd.) I also used some metal polish on the chrome wheels and muffler tip and did a final wipe down with a spritz of spray and gloss.

Cool pics and very nice car. Now that dealership doesn't sound all that bad compared to others... there are a lot more out there that are far worse. Atleast they are using reputable chemicals.
 
That Solstice looks really nice. I saw one in white on Saturday and I love the color. I prefer the Sky, as I like the looks better. How long did he have to wait to get his? I know the 06's are now sold out.
 
I'm not a fan of the vehicle by any means, but you definately got the paint looking very nice.
 
Meguiars Gold Class High Endurance is whats on the tires...however I've been really happy with the Black Magic Titanium that I have on my Monte (in other thread). I never thought that I would say I like a Black Magic product but after reading some reviews/seeing a picture on autopia I figured I'd give it a try. The radar detector would be a Sensoro but I don't know what model. I don't know how long he waited to get the Solstice but I haven't seen many around here.
