Wish I had more notice then that. Speaking of meets, I've talked to a couple of members through email and PM and they would like to set something up. We're thinking possibly getting something to eat then just chatting about cars. Anyone have interest in joining us? We have not set a time, date or location yet.
More teaser pics attached. Next one is the reveal.

Tools:
Rupes Bigfoot LHR21ES Polisher w/washer mod
Eurow Sheepskin Wash Mitt
Uber No Name Super Plush Microfiber Towels
Grit-Guard
Products:
Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash - body
Iron-X Paste - body
Nanoskin Fine Grade 6" DA Pad - body
Nanoskin Nano Shock Spray Lubricant - body
HD Polish - body
Meguiars Soft Buff 2.0 Yellow polishing pad - body
Uber Green polishing pad - body
Rupes White finishing pad - body
Optimum Power Clean diluted 3:1 - body
IPA Mix - 91% IPA diluted 3:1 - body
Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 - body
The process was as follows: 1) wash, 2) applied Iron-X paste, 3) used Nanoskin Autoscrub as a clay substitute, 4) 1-step polish using HD Polish (surprisingly, the car's paint was almost perfect), 5) soak vehicle in Optimum Power Clean to remove polishing oils, 6) wipe down vehicle with IPA mix, 7) apply Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0.
We somehow missed some spots on the hubcaps, so pardon the brake dust in the pictures.
I forgot to take pictures before we started, so these are all pictures after the detail was complete. I really need to get a real camera.
Not a bad reflection for this color:
Best sun shot that I could get:

But i'd love to meet some fellow enthusiasts/azine peeps up there.
Thats no fun haha, I will not enjoy that. And no I"m not used to heat even living down here lol
We've been having record low weather lately in the area. During the summer, we can have double digit consecutive 100+ days. I've seen it reach over 110 here.

Damn haha, well I guess I'm basically used to that since I went to UC riverside for 4 years.
I'll have a job though and wont be afraid to turn on the A/C then
Any tips on areas to checkout. I dont want to be too far from downtown. I heard midtown is nice, but its also on the pricier side?

I'm thinking I may just try to find a room for rent on craigslist or some other means instead of looking for my own apartment. That why I have no reason to rush into an apartment and sign a 1 year lease.
I heard midtown is nice, but its also kinda expensive? My ideal rent would be below $750.
Accenture I used to work right down the street from there. That's like right off of 5 right? Yea midtown is a tad pricey, check out pocket or the Arden area. traffic just sucks in that area during commute hours, but I'm sure it's no where as bad as it is in LA. I believe my friend pays about 700 and he lives in Downtown I want to say 12th and G around there.

I heard downtown can be kinda sketchy? Is that true?
Lot of homeless yes, certain areas sketchy yea. It's going to be like that every where you go though. You could move out towards Davis too near the college, since there are alot of apartments out there to rent for a decent price, or you could possibly find a roomate
Nah, Davis actaully had really high rent. I'm talking 2k/month for a 3 room house with no garage. Usually rent is high around colleges.
Arden/fair oaks area should be pretty cheap. West sac is also pretty cheap but can be shady.
I don't think you'll have to worry about living too far away from downtown, the city limits aren't probably even anymore than 30 minutes away in either direction.

I've been living in Sac for about 3 months now and after going around the city, my rule is stick to where the people are. If you start seeing less and less people in an area, there's probably a reason for it. Lot of homeless people and beggars that's for sure. The areas around Sac State are pretty nice and definitely lots of apartments open. Two of my friends live at Sierra Regency (I think that's what it is called) and those are nice and not a bad rent payment.

Thanks guys.
Yea its just hard to know the areas when I'm basically looking form a computer. The deal could be good, but the area could be bad. But I'll look into areas you guys said.
This is one of the reasons I'm looking for month to month places on Craigslist. I can get a feel for Sac in general and look for my own place eventually. Also this gives me a chance to meet people. I know nobody in sac

I'd like to formally announce that I am no longer a sac state student (there are a few sac state students in this thread). My graduation was last friday! 
Best of luck to my future fellow alumns!

Your going to drive to downtown right? Try the Arden/Arcade area. I'll PM you my phone number and you can text me any questions you have and I can point you in the right direction. I know Sac pretty well. Im not on Azine much since I have a little one now.
Thanks! Keep it up, it took me 6.5 years but I did it!
Thanks Vic and congrats to your wife too! Where is her new job at?
I'm job searching too but just half-heartedly. I'm kind of just taking it easy right now.

She managed to squeeze a four year degree into five years lol
The new job is in Gold River just ten minutes from our place.
On a side note I've been working overtime doing some big things to my car and cant wait to show off all the hard work at the next meet...when ever that might be lol
