After a coating in baby oil
Or rather a full detail found here: My first detail on my baby
I thought I'd share with you guys some of the best after shots of how my baby's looking these days. I wanted to mention that for those of you who think I need to debadge, well let me tell ya, I tried to take off the ACURA and realized that the goo had become pretty dried and a lot harder to get off so I left it as is for now.
Anyway, onto the good stuff:

Hahaha to any of you that thought I actually used baby oil I was totally kidding, but she's pretty damn shiny hey! I LOVE how my car almost looks like it has a fresh paintjob. She is far from perfect and I know of all her scars, but she still looks better than 85% of the cars I see around. The worst is seeing cars that I know aren't even a year old that are already COVERED in terrible swirls from terribly poor wash techniques.
02type-s the process and products I used are linked in my first post right at the top as "My first detail on my baby"
03TL-S I didn't put any wax on, could've but didn't want to. I only sealed her with Optimum Opti-Seal which is an AMAZING paint sealant. Easy application and provides a solid shine, but nothing like a good carnuba will.
Next spring I may open up the headlights. Crazyasiantl what do you think?
1. Blacked out and cleared....2. Cleared only

Looks great man!
You stay taking pictures just in your driveway though haha
. Drive somewhere else and get some pics from farther away and such. These shots just don't do your car justice.

I would drop it more but Edmonton roads are terrible and I need to keep it at an all year height because we get bad winters too. There's a good chance of my sleeves seizing after winters from crud and what not, so I don't want to adjust my coilovers if I don't have to. I have a 1 to 1/2 finger gap up front and a 1 finger or less gap in the back...
I do have other shots of my car at different spots actually. I didn't have time after this detail to get some. A buddy of mine who is studying professional photography in college wants to take me on a shoot this fall so expect to see some excellent shots in the near future.

Actually here's a quick link to some shots from earlier this summer of my car in a few different spots. Shows off the level of my drop a little better I suppose.
