RE: Rate my Shine
You parked in a white striped zone. That would have warranted a parking ticket if I had been there.
Nice shine, though. Wish I could get that same look on my Civic, but it's gold so it's not the same.

RE: Rate my Shine
Finally got around to putting some effort into a decent detail yesterday. Didn't go all out, but I'm pretty pleased with the results.
Products: Meguires Gold Class Car Shampoo, 3M Glass cleaner, Mother's Back to Black trim treatment, Armor All, Black Magic Tire Foam, Royal Blue Carnauba Wax.
Process: I didn't have the time nor the energy to completely wheel the car, claybar or polish, but will do all of those next time. All I did for this round was a good hand wash and dry, then broke out the orbital and laid on a nice layer of wax. It turned out decent, but without running the clay and wheeling out the paint, there are still some imperfections.
Also have a TON of wet sanding to do on the front bumer...weak *** Suby paint. Anyway, heres some pics
