Pics from today *wash' n wax*

So I have Tuesdays off of work and what better way to spend it then cleanin my 203. I was up early this morning and I had a little extra time to spend detailing my car. The more I look at the color of this car, the more im impressed with it. Especialy in the sunlight. My town is full of other MB's, but ive only seen 2 other granite grey ones around. (which makes me happy to be somewhat unique)

I really like granite grey. I dont see many around either. It looks iridescent, sometimes it looks blue, sometimes grey, sometimes greenish. great color, looks awesome!

Looks awesome, love the color. Bad weather always seems to follow a good wash and wax.

I knew that pic looked familiar / good idea to take those shots at Mizner Park - the top of the parking garage is always empty besides the weekends. Car looks clean!

Read the detailing forums, you'll find a lot of information on what wax is, what it does, and what are the good waxes and polishes to use.

WHAT!?! Hmm, you just wax on and wax off. Didn't you see the Karate Kid? Mr. Miyagi said it best.
