Default Waxed my car today...

Yup, I woke up sorta early and got to work. I used the claybar again, then used Mothers Pre-cleaner (phase 1) followed by their phase 2 glaze/sealer, then used a different brand synthetic wax, as phase 3 of the mothers system is a pure caranuba... and although it shines nicely, it lasts about a week. Usually I just clay, and then wax... adding the polish/cleaner followed by the glaze/sealer really made a difference. It looks better than it ever has, I think. Here's a pic, maybe I'll post more later if anybody wants to see the results... but I'm laaaazy right now.

The reflection shows up real well on the side. Looks like a top finish.

Car looks great. You did a good job. I never noticed the difference in the front and rear wheels before. Are you running staggered tires or just different wheels?

Youuu son of a bitch!!! *shakes fist*

And I just run staggered offsets, all the wheels are 17x8 or 8.5 (I can't remember) and 225's all around, my quattro is safe and sound!

Thanks for the kind words everybody. :P I'll post the other pics now.

So what the hell is "volcano black"? There is an old joke in there somewhere. I must know.
