WOOHOO! Just finished 4 hours of work. Washed the car with dish soap (to strip the old wax off), claybarred it, then used Meguiars Cleaner Wax, followed with a final coat of Eagle One Nanowax. Pretty happy with the results.

 

Looks good!

 

dish soap? is that healthy?

 

gotta love the white, looks good

 

I would only recommend it when trying to strip everything off

 

Yes if your goal is to take the old wax off. Looks good but man is that Las Vegas sun bright

 

I purposely used it to strip the old wax off the paint. I only use it when I'm gonna rewax the car. Otherwise I use a wax job safe car wash gel. (I use Eagle One)

And yes, its perfectly safe for your clear coat. (not your wax though lol)

Yah it is, its high noon right now.

I swear..... I seriously might be a hazard for other people on the road right now. They could be blinded by the white!!!

 

if your car was black....then id be changing my pants right now.

nothing against your car at all, i think you did a great job.


I just dont like white vehicles....

 

That has got to be the cleanest looking White Balt I've seen yet.
I'm normally not impressed with them..but yours takes the cake.

 

I agree. Black cars can reflect light better and that makes em look shinier than white cars. White cars don't reflect ****.

I was gonna get a black 'Balt but the dealership sold it. Glad that I got the white one instead, easier to keep clean and WOW does it stand out when waxed up!

 

nice man.
though i would consider getting something a little more long lasting than eagle one nano after stripping/claybarring.

I use nano quite a bit. it ROCKs as a quick wax. but the spray type wax doesnt really protect your paint for long compared to a good quality solid wax

 

Hehe awesome! Thanks!

The pictures really don't do it justice. My digital is really shitty quality. (even though those pics were taken at 4 megapixels they still are fuzzy)

By the way if no one noticed those "rims" are actually the stock hubcaps that came with the car. I painted em black last week. Check it out.

I'm not using the spray wax, I'm using the liquid paste stuff. (the Meguiars was a liquid too)

No spray bottle half-assing crap here.

 

Yeah, like he said. Use the bottled kind that comes with the detailing cloth. Costs about $8 at Wallie World...greatest stuff ever.

 

white is a better color in regards to "keeping clean"...


you can see the smallest scratch to the smallest bird ****...to a area that wasnt washed properly (on a black car)

 

the overall appearance of the car looks cheap

at least it is clean

 

What the hell was that about?

 

I dunno? WTF? Whatever.... lol

 

Looks good

summit white FTW

 

it wasnt "about" anything

i was commenting...

the accessories such as the rims being painted, and those things around the lights, look kinda off.

my .02

 

i think your car is actually glowing.

 

And i thought yellow was bright but hey nice looking LT

 

Yah they are "cheap"; personally I don't think they LOOK cheap but not top notch either.

You have to admit it looks better than stock with my "cheap" accesories....

 

Looks good. I'll give ya a good detail tip...spray some tire shine in the wheel wells. It will make them look new again. Def looks awesome...I love that nanowax...some good stuff.

 

I wouldn't even be able to tell that he's just got hub caps on if it wasn't for the other thread. I think Fallen33 did a hell of a job with those caps so props to him and stop the hate!

 

Hate those tail light covers, but other than that looks great!
