    Default Fresh Detail - Shoot from Cul De Sac

    Well I started Friday night and gave the vert a clay, cleaner, polish/sealant and a carnuba wax. All done by hand in the garage over the course of the weekend. I wanted to take the car out for a real photoshoot but was helping someone install some parts into their vert. Only had ~10 minutes so I moved the cars around and snapped a couple shots!










    The Pair!

    Looks purty good. Not "run" made for a productive weekend.

    Needs a little 'Back to Black' and high speed buff.

    How good was the paint from those years? Do you know if it was thin or not?

    No idea. I do know that 1995 was the last year of the quality oil based paint that they used to use. Back in the 80s you could take a pink e30(faded red) and go to town and have it be BRIGHT ASS RED.
