    So I got up at 10 and spent 3 hours washing, claybaring, and waxing the car (Yes I work very slowly). Then I realized I had no tire shine :evil: .
    Oh well, So I went and took some pictures, but I don't think my homeowners association liked the spot, seeing as it's their property. :bigthumb:
    Enjoy!

    Good to see I'm not the only car detailing buff on here (I'm gonna have to give the wagon a good job like yours next time a good day comes around).

    That looks like a really good job. What wax/claybar combo did you use?

    Tire isn't bald, just bad reflection/lighting. I'm not sure what claybar I used (it came in a black box with a spray) but I used 5 year old maguiars wax my dad had sitting around, the sponge was breaking apart but it still did the job.

    Car looks great. I did a quick wash today, but nothing like your car. Is there any place local to get Clay Bar?

    I got it from auto zone. I was going to pick up the NXT soap stuff, but just went with the armor all extra strong stuff we have at home.

    Really, I checked Advanced and they didn't have it. Just for shits and giggles I checked Walmart also, but expected to come up empty.
