Really great car to look at, drive, take to the occasional show... just a real treat. Havent found any 'haters' yet either so what can i say, i'm sold
I wash this car twice a week and claybar/wax it often as well. trying to keep a dd in showcar condition ain't easy though.

^^it never stops, 07lsj, it never stops
and thanks MP! i'm dig as well.
funny story about the wheels actually... last week i ordered a small tub of poorboys wheel sealant to keep the powdercoating nice
got it, put it on the bar in my garage. later went to take off one of my wheels. cleaned it up nice, put it on the bar. put on the so called 'sealant' all over the rim, let it sit for a while as directed per website instructions i had read earlier.
when i went to take the stuff off, it didn't wanna come off easy.. thats wierd i thought.. kept on scrubbing at it with my buffing pad... WTF! a lot of it was like caked on. i go to look at the directions on the actual tub - it was a tub of wall caulking, right next to where the wheel sealant was.
luckily it all came off with enough hosing... now the wheel was ALL scuffed and hazed up. i was pissed lol!!! buut a good polish later it was good to go and now the wheels are all good fail..

they cleared them but you know... just trying to make sure they stay nice with brake dust an all that, washing the wheels now should basically take a hosing and almost no scrubbing at all to keep em nice
