Smile Quick Detailed A-Spec NBP

It was a nice day ouside, so I did a quick detailing of the car on just the outside. Here are just a few shots.

I also got a VA legal tint (50% front, 35% back), but on the pics from outside, because of the sun, it looks weak. It looks darker in real life and especially when the sun is not hitting it right on.

Next I spend a lot of time doing a full detail (interior/exterior), I will take some better pics to share.


In my garage:

Nice pics! Love that shine


So where is the damage from the notorious "This is a kick and run, don't make it into a homicide." incident?

Found a guy who works on dings. It's like magic. He put some window protector plate and used some protected hammer like thing to work the ding out!

That is an awesome looking ride. I am about to pick up my TL tomorrow, black on black/nav/6mt... and am definitely going for the tints next week. Can I ask how one goes about modifying the headlights the way you have? They look incredible.

A lot of folks will swear by Zaino and has gotten and continues to get a lot of rave reviews making it one of the more popular products available on on the market. Collinite on the other hand also has received positive reviews on detail sites, has it's unique characteristics and it is a carnuba based. As to which one is a better product, that comes down to a personal choice. If it works for you and you're ecstatic about the results, then by all means, continue to use the product. One thing to remember, prep is 90% and the other 10% is the product.

This quick detail takes me about 20 mins just as long as I wash the car before.

Mine aren't the chrome ones for sure...The ones I have are called gunmetal I think...

I had the option of gettin chrome or gunmetal and chrome looked so cheap looking compared to the gunmetal color...

She's gorgeous. I always fall in love all over again when I see my ride shined up like that.

Very nice!

F*$% I need to live in a sunshine state.

I have to wash mine twice a week at least just because of dust and snow.

That's why I picked Silver. When I had black car before, I waxed mine to perfection and it wouldn't last more than couple of days.
