Cleaned My TLS
I bought this 2008 TL Type-S on Monday and since my wife went out with her best friend tonight I was able to detail the car up nicely...
First I washed it...Using the typical Meguiars Gold Glass car wash...Then clay batted the car with a Meguiar Clay Bar kit...Then sealed it all up with Autoglym HD wax...Let me tell you this AG HD stuff is AWESOME!!! I have used Zaino for years and personally now I would throw rocks at it compared to this wax...
Heres the prewash pictures:

Walmart is no longer allowed to sell it...Because of the price they were selling it for...Its supposed to be $50 but walmart wasnt pricing it correctly...Its now on the clearance rack at walmart due to them having to get rid of it so they are now $20 a box...When I find them at wally world I buy all they have...

That is one clean car man! Autoglym HD...I've gotta remember that for when spring comes around... Been using turtle wax green paste and it's ok, but that stuff looks 100x better.

Thanks
No clue its temp tags
Truer words have never been spoken...
I put well over $15K in my mustang and sold it for $12k...I burnt out my mod bug for a while on that one...Check my intro thread for pictures of that car...
Yep I'm there
Thanks...It still has paint imperfections so I will be doing another MORE indepth detail in the near future...That will be a 8-12 detail...
Thanks...Its getting there...Still a few more corrections to be made...But by hand and in 4 hours I will accept it...
