Just Detailed!

Washed with Dawn, then rinsed, washed with Prima wash, dried with some hydro, waxed with prima epic, buffed, and done! Only took about 2 hours .


Dirty Pics!







Clean Pics!

No, it was actually quite silly of me to even do this now, but my car was filthy. I'm expecting a new full aero kit by Thursday, to be painted and installed soon after . I also bought a new full set of black trim for the car to be painted.

Take it to the dealer then! They do a generally crappy job washing your car (altough they do expertly install scratches).
