I detailed the engine bay, interior and cleaned and used Convertible Top Protectant on the top.
Now that that settled for 12 hrs, I will rewash the exterior of the car.

Comments?

(I can't figure out how to add a picture into the comments.  Had to go with a link.)

To add a picture that is hosted elsewhere simply click on the "insert image" icon. It's the third icon from the left on the second row. This is done of course from the "preview" pane. You would then paste in the URL for your picture between the URL tags.

Like this.



That's one big wing. Not for me but we don't customize our cars for someone else to like!   :thumbs:
Just trying to do my part...

That wing would be awesome if your solstice had about 600hp and you were on a racetrack :)

I like the look of the black, that would look good on the turbo piping.

That looks awesome.
I need to get a powdercoated elbow as well.
Does DDM do that?

Yesterday:

I conditioned the leather, washed it, claybared it, and then hit it with PBW SSR2.5, SSR1, Pro Polish, and Black Hole.


Today's Agenda:

Give it another once over with Black Hole, apply some more Leather Stuff to the interior, put a coat of EX Sealant on it, polish up the rims, and detail under the hood.

I look at it the biblical way: Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, feed him for a life-time.

I'll charge you $500 to do a complete detail OR I'll show you how to do it for free...
