Your RDX isn't Turbo'd cause it doesn't have the emblem anymore, right?

The results are awesome...if you ever Polish her in the future, post pics of a before/after. I have the same color and I would love to see how a fully polished CBP RDX would look after completion.

That's right, and it's 2WD too.

So anyway, the pics you see here ARE how it looks fully polished. I don't usually let it get too dirty, but one of these days we'll get a little rain and I'll snap some photos then...

True, Mike, but we did buy it in northern Virginia and spent six months in the winter there before driving cross-country and settling in pampered car country. In fact, part of the reason we bought the RDX in the first place was for the SH-AWD capability driving in inclement weather.

Looks good. I'm a bit too lazy for clay bar, specially on a silver car. I use the cleaner carnuba wax and it seems to do a pretty good job removing the film, road grit and swirl marks.

Trust me, cwepruk, the clay bar isn't something I want to do every weekend either. But I had some time off from work over the holidays and the weather was ideal, so I decided to give both of my vehicles the total pampering treatment. I try to clay them once or twice a year, just to provide the smoothest, cleanest base possible for my more regular waxes.

Claybarring is a pain in the neck but when its done and when you take a step back you can instantly see a difference. BTW: Awesome job!
