Looks great! Does the RL use NBP or another version of black?

NRWS = No Rinse Wash and Shine. How did you wash your car? Looks great! I love the RL

Haha, we didn't really use all of it. My friend and I met up to wash our cars at our other friends house, and we just ended up bring our own products. it was just kinda funny how much stuff each of us brought. so as a joke we lined all the stuff up to take some pics. Here are some of the results from that day:

Storm, how did you like the Invisible Glass? I've seen it in Advanced Auto, but haven't made the purchase. I've just used regular Windex glass cleaner, so your input would help me.

I use Invisible Glass and it's awesome! Worth the investment. They have it on sale every now and then.

Stoners Invisible Glass is awesome. I use it every time I was any car. I usually clean all the windows with IG first and then put two coats of Rain-X on the exterior windows. Rain-X works so much better over a coat of IG.

i heard about that technique once on that Motorweek show that is on the public channels from time to time. Stoners i guess works well to clean out the pores in the glass, which allows the Rain-X to fill them in quite well, thus allowing it to work better.
