Did some Spring Cleaning

I removed all my Carbon Fiber parts so i could polish them and give it a brand new shine. Also i removed my black tail light covers to be repainted black due to paint cracks. I added the a new toy MCD CF spoiler and i can tell fitment is on point with this spoiler and also i like it because it is flush with my roof spoiler. Just waiting for the AZN GB headlights to come in so i can see what will it look like on my car. Oh yeah i repainted the grille and chrome covers for the fog lights and removed the yellow lamin-x.

You did a great job I really like the black painted chrome for the fogs. It really blends nicely.

Thanks!

I was using a nikon SLR my car is actually dusty from Pollen. I hate this season especially with a black car you can see yellow everywhere and also if I wash the car an hour later I see yellow pollen.

Your car can't be as dirty as mine since I park outside.

I didn't really mean to take away from your car. I just noticed that.
And besides, you call that dirty? Man, you should drive in Louisiana for a while and see the pollen down here. Hell, I'm bald and people think I'm blonde

Back to your car, dude, it looks really awesome and I am jealous

Amazing car pare. Black cars are the best after a good detail for the first 5 minutes.... Have you tried other polish/wax products?

Few thing are better than drooling over a nice looking Benz that has a proud owner. Keep 'em coming.

I tried a lot of other brands. It started when I had my black Audi, I was in a constant hunt for something the would last. Especially in the heat most waxes and polishes will not stand a chance, even at 80deg weather the surface of the car could be at 100deg. Most waxes at this point becomes obsolete. I just make sure the surface prep is the one I spend most of my time on. Claying and cutting, then a good paint sealant with a polish/wax on top.

Since you like Mequiars, have your tried their NXT 2.0 polish&wax. It gives black/dark colored cars a nice shine and depth.

Check out www.adamspolishes.com , they have the best products for your cars if you guys want awesome shine. Hop onto the forums and see just how clean and swirl free those cars are.

Great car by the way!

clean refresh bro.... What'd u use to repaint the tail trims? also, did you have to reappy 3M tape or did you just use the old stuff?

I got the tail trims but the stock tape is kinda loose in one corner and looks kinda sketch with light bleed at night.... thinking about reapplying with fresh 3M....

I only ask about other polishes, because in your pictures the rear side shot of the spoiler.. I see some webbing still, but don't get me wrong... great job on the cleaning and the modding of the car.
