wax job

I have a 2008 that looks just like yours--but I must say this is one stunning vehicle. What wax did you use?

Looks great! You've gotta admire a good clay bar job, but even moreso the dedication of an individual like yourself who clearly takes care of his vehicle. You don't own a car for two years, put in one day of elbow grease, and get results like this--you obviously do a great job all the time!

Yes!....Black is beautiful and requires a lot of dedication if you want to keep it like new.
I drive 32 miles one way to work and staying on top of it is critical in maintaining the like new appearance.

Nice job.. but a question.. I keep mine looking as best as I can, but road stones bring chips and marks on the hood. Any attempt to use the touch up paint leaves inevitable paint blobs, no matter how careful I am. What do you do to keep your surface so pristine? or are there no pebbles in Fla ?

LOL.....There are plenty of stones in FL, and I do have some minor chips on the hood and bumper. But I touch them up, its very difficult to see in the photos but they are there.

It's inevitable to avoid a chip here and there after a few years. Jumping on it as quick as possible with touch up paint then allow it to dry, then reapply a week later to fill is what I do.
