that sure is purty.
I have been lazy for the past 2 months and haven't really detailed the outside. We have an upcoming meet so I guess I'll go ahead and polish her off.

That is one nice CL, didnt know the 01's came in that color. Your car looks like it came right out of GT4. Do u have clear reflectors in ur headlights or its just cleared with nothing in there if so where can I get those to buy.

That's just not even fair. And like everybody else..."It almost doesn't even look real". And like a couple others, is that a black chromed badge in the back?

Awesome!
I wish I had the initiative to wash/wax my car that well! One question though and forgive me if I am wrong!
Is that a car dealer license plate frame on the back? One of my pet peeves is seeing any nice car with one of those damn dealer installed license plate frames on it! Your car is WAAY to nice to give the dealer free advertising!

I still have swirls in my paint don't get me wrong. What I do is just, I try to wash every 2 weeks and every other week do a quick detail with scratchx and nxt. The scratchx helps a lot. Then every 2 months or so I go over the car very detailed with clay bar and then just scratchx, polish, nxt x 2. Hope this helps. Thanks guysss

Excellent looking car! You need to rid of those brakes though, some BBK's would be nice. Great thing about your car is the color, detailing it really brings out the depth of your shine. My white ass car, I spend 12 hours detailing the sucker, but it still looks................
well..........
white.
