New look + New bath

Nice job on the cleaning, but the pictures dont seem to give the car justice. Is that a cellphone camera or do you have super shaky hands?

My guess is that it was close to dusk, and the light was too low for the camera (causing long shutter speeds). Just my guess. A better camera might help, but I'd try again when there's lots of light. Maybe mid-afternoon? Or if there was plenty of light, then yeah, get another camera. But if it was dark enough to need a flash, it's probably too dark. Besides, flash doesn't work well once you get several feet away....

Anyway, yeah, gotta love that mirror finish! Black cars look so cool when shiny. I would have loved to have gotten a black TSX but I've had black/grey cars so often that I needed a change.

What clay and wax did you use?

Is that an MP# player on underneath the head unit?

Thank you!
I was amazed of how clean it was afterward. Now I don't want to take it anywhere. I Don't want to get it dirty yet

I use Mother product... I bought the whole kit (1 clay bar, 1 spay bottle to use with the clay bar, 1 wax bottle) for $14.00 at autobags.

I got the ship knob at www.cardomain.com

And yeah it's an MP3 player underneath.
