Washed & Waxed

I know you all are used to looking at modded Type-S', but I washed and waxed my stock one up today and liked the pictures. Therefore, I figured I'd share. Hope you like:

Ugh

Your car looks so clean.

And those exhaust tips look great =)
I can't believe so many people neglect to clean exhaust tips. It's almost like forgetting to wash the front grille

Thanks. It stays clean as long as I can keep the wife and her Jeep out of the garage.

Agreed - your car isn't truly clean if you have dirty exhaust tips/pipes. That's like washing your car and not drying it afterwards. Why bother...

Yeah, the women don't belong in the garage, they belong...

Sadly, I'd say about 80% of the people on here don't think like we do.

Clean exhaust tips crew unite!

Thanks fellas. My wife gives me hell because I spend "too much time" keeping my car clean. Ha!

I just use Nu Finish once or twice a year. Seems to work the best for me....easy to apply and easy to get off. Of course, I use barkeepers and then Nu Finish on the tips.

Beautiful! Love the exhaust tips. I'm so glad I upgraded to those as well on my 04 base.


Instagram FTW!

Yes, it sure does. IMO, it's one of the best all around waxes out there. Been using it on my cars for the last 15+ years.

Ha! I was wondering when someone would notice the Instagram filters. The car really is that clean, but Instagram made the pictures look good.
