Default Photo shoot time!

I couldn't resist myself... i had just finished washing/waxing her myself for the first time, and took her out for a quick, yet somewhat elaborate photo shoot under some awesome weather.

all available in high-res, e-mail if interested.

Default where do you live?

Nice pics and scenery. What type of wax did you use on your ibis white?

Default maguire's nxt tech wax

washed with maguire's shampoo/conditioner (lol) deal. i was a zaino guy before, but this stuff is excellent! dries quickly and removes easily. Ibis isn't necessarily a "deep" color, but it looks insanely good (that wet, reflective look i love on black cars...).

I also double coated on trouble spots (read: highway bug-heavy) - the bugs that did stick on the ride back were removed quickly and easily. gets my recommendation for sure. now just need to see how long it lasts.

by the way, i've noticed this car doesn't translate well to pictures. completely different impression when you see one in real life. just now, it's hard to remember that that car in the pictures is the same one in my driveway. gives off a different impression in pictures.

Default NXT Tech wax is pretty universally reviled on the detailing forum. I think you'll see it lasts

hardly at all. Next time, try Menzerna's FMJ.
