My First Self-Detail...PICTURES

As I promised Greg from Detailed Image...after I do my work I would post it...I had a small photoshoot with some friends on Friday after school...enjoy guys!
The reflection the car gives off is awesome...but at the place we took photos...the sun was right on my car...so these pictures may look like I did a horrible buffing job on the waxes.









Yes, I know...some work to be done here...haha...got tired.



Took me about an hour to wash...with all the tar everywhere...and I didn't take much pictures of my rim because the brake dust and tar have baked on to some parts(hurts me so bad)...and I had clay bar ready but I felt the paint didn't need it (ran my fingers across the car)...took me about hour and half to put in Polymer Paint Sealant (Meguiar's #20 i think) and then after about 3 hours of garage...I put Mother's Pure Carnuba Wax on top...took about two hours...then dressed the tires...
