Spring cleaning 07 - WAXED THAT BOOTY!!!

kc2005ptgt · Post by **kc2005ptgt** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 9:15 pm

Sorry for the title, I know, it is tacky

But today I spent about 30 minutes washing and cleaning the cars outside, then I bought a 6" buffer/waxer and then I took some turtle wax to it - and BOOYA man it looks good now - I also took a lint free cloth to it afterwards, but forgot to get more pics - looks even better since the rag-down... hope you like it!

BEFORE the WAX

AFTER the WAX, BUFFING: you will notice some slight swirls here and there, but I got rid of those later, and looks even better!

Some shots down the road from parents house
favorite one!!!

another shot which shows the mean stance my car has

and a nice lowdown shot

and one rear shot for those of you who like big booties!

looks pretty damn good!!! i used the meguars tech wax and my car came out pretty good too... but i dont have a buffer so it took me some time to do it but well worth it. it filled in some of the minor scratches my car has.

Actually, I am getting them powder coated this summer... $100 for the set of four, and I get matching black lug nuts powder coated.

But yeah, I know, the wheels look horrible right now, winter was harsh

some r/t sides would do good.

Funny you mentioned that, but last week I did the complete removal and wipe down of the interior

So it actually took me two separate days of spring cleaning

Been busy with school this spring

Wow, waxing does numbers. I saw the before, and I am like.. It looks good, it doesn't need to be washed! Then I see the after and damn, its so glossy! Yeah you really do need to get those rims re-painted. Gloss black would do them good. Are you getting them powdercoated through that one dude on KCSR who dives the Cobalt SS, he has a huge thread in Automotive Lounge. They quoted me $170 for my 14''ers a couple weeks back.

I am not sure who the guy is, but I talked to him several times, and he quoted me $25 per wheel and throw in the lug nuts. Not bad I guess... I do not think the guy has a cobalt... I will search for the pm I got and pm you on kcsr.org ---- what is your screenname there???
