Nice progress. Read the whole thread. You deserve some "Gulab Jaman and Ladoo" for all your effort .

Where did you get your type s front bumper? How much did it cost you?

Washed my car while it was 30 Degrees outside -________-
Did some waxing/buffing too...my car looks like a mirror and feels as smooth as glass now

My New favorite toy



Waxed my car in the middle of the night in my garage so these pics are all without flash




Next week when im bored ill be using Klasse All in one polisher and also Klasse sealant glaze




This is an example what Klasse can do for you

Good shit, I've used klasse before on my AM. The all in one is super easy to use. The sealant takes a little elbow grease. But the finish was sweet, after a top coat of carnuba. And it was long lasting and durable. You'll like it.

I need to clay and polish my whip. I haven't done it in like 2 years! There's all kinds of invisible shit stuck on my paint!

Dude, I meant to ask you how you liked the Klasse stuff? I've never tried it, but I read so many good things about it. I've taken a liking to Griot's Garage stuff lately.

i actually just used the Klasse sealant glaze last Thursday after a wash. makes the car very smooth with a "wet" look and is advertised to last for 12 months. if you look on my thread, the December 2011 pictures are after a wash, pre-wax cleaner, 2 layers of klasse sealant, and then carnauba wax.

it actually down-poured that same night as well, and the water literally all beaded off instantly and left no marks at all. literally looks like i still washed it.

I've been getting into the Griot's Garage stuff lately-just picked up their Spray-On Car Wash and am anxious to try it. I also got the spray on Carnuba wax from Autogeek too-it really worked well.

Let me know how the spray on car wash works out for you. Lol. I always thought it was a waste cause it's faster to wash the car. Lol.
