Wash, Clay Bar, Seal and Wax/Polish

Not the greatest photographer but this is what we have to work with, soo...any comments would be appreciated. I removed the spoiler and competely debadged the trunklid. The holes will soon be welded and the trunklid will be repainted. First time claybarring my car so any tips from the detailing experts would be appreciated.

DAAAAMNNN . Thats sexy. You could get ready in the mourning in that reflection. Nice looking drop you got there bro. What are you dropped on?

Looks good debadged and I normally don't say that, but I think you should get a spoiler on there ASAP

What do you use to clean your exhaust tips...mine haven't ever been cleaned since I bought it.

You can check out the pics of my CL here:

My exhaust tips weren't aligned right in those pics, but I fixed them

Nice NBP. Looks really good with that drop and the TL wheels. I don't normally like the TL wheels on the CL, but you've really pulled it off. Good job. And keep it up bro.

Looks good!!! In terms of claying don't forget to use a good lubricant like Meguairs Last Touch, you should wipe the leftover wetness with a microfibre cloth, and after rinse and maybe wash the car again if you like. You can clay the headlights, windows, rims, interior trim, and I think that's it.

looks good and clean

Spoiler, i guess its personal preference - i personally never like the look of the downward sloping truck, reminds me too much of a ford taurus --- spoiler helps to break it up a bit

Although on most cars i do not like spoilers

I've never been a big fan of the TL wheels on there, makes it look bulky, but the wax and wash job looks supreme!

nbp is the best color when shined up like that. Now your car would look good with the roof spoiler
