pics of my car after wash/claybar/rewash/polish/wax/lower

As stated, these were taken after I washed the car, claybarred it, rewashed it, polished it, waxed it, and then lowered it about an inch or so. The car was REALLY grimey from my trip to North Carolina, so it was in dire need of some TLC, which I had time for last night (it was a beautiful night for washing the car... mid to low 70's, light breeze). First ones are blurry, but deal with it.




I think this one is my favorite

the angeleyes will be MUCH brighter with the weaker resistors I'm putting in
and I don't care for criticism... I like my angeleyes and it's my Z

Nice........ I've never tried the Claybar, but after seeing the cloud reflection off your hood, I'd say it's definitely worth it.

the claybar isn't for shinyness, it's for smoothness.
clay removes tiny residues and contaminates that accumulate on your paint.
where'd you get the clay from randy?
I've been looking everywhere for some.

Autozone carries it... so did Murrays last time I checked. (Autozone has 2 brands actually)

if you can't find any, let me know. Are you going to the meet on sunday? If you are, I can pick up a claybar for you and bring it with... just reimburse me (if you choose to go that route)
