Detailed the car today... Pics

Weather was great today. I spent about 5 hours on the car. Menzerna polish and P21S wax.
I also pulled the headlight things off. Much better.
Interior gets done this week.
I may get the windows tinted this weekend, then ordering x pipe and .... who knows.
Bill

I need to learn how to take better pics... good camera, bad photographer. Oh well.

Thanks. I'm ready for spring. Was nice to get outside today, without wearing a parka.

Nice thing about my garage. I can wash my car in it. I turn the heater on and wash it in a t-shirt. So when I have to drive it during the week, which is not typical, I just hose it off and wipe it down. It won't stay dirty long, b/c it will drive me nuts.
Thanks for the compliment.

The drains were an afterthought, but man I'm lovin' them now. Cooling eh... I may need to look into that. I just put two ceiling fans up, so I'll see how that goes this summer.
I hear ya on the mission. I often disappear for hours out there. I purposefully did not put an intercom in the garage.

The side markers are dark, they were just on. I didn't even know they were there until today.

+1. I would sell a kidney (or one of my wife's kidneys) for the ability to wash my cars in my own garage.

car looks nice!! esp getting all the filth/salt/sand off the car. I finally picked up some ONR and washed the cars in the garage a few weeks ago. Didnt get that much water on the garage floor. Hopefully have time to wash them again after the last snow we got.

the moderators crazy..
Hey Bill quick question,

Just wondering if you would be willing to take a trade for a 96 Saab 900se turbo with 150K miles? I am more then willing to accept that offer if you agree.


Thanks
