Washed and waxed. I'm letting the wax sit for a minute while I get a drink of water and write this quick post. Looking Glassy! Didn't feel like doing the clay bar today. I might use that on my 03 element it could probably benefit more from it.

did I say "glassy?" i meant "orange peely" haha I like it though. when I was polishing the wax I could feel every imperfection and couldnt stop thinking about how different it would've felt if I did the clay bar.

i bought new pads to apply the ice liquid polish, and at autozone you can get 2 3 packs of microfiber towels for $5!! thats a steal.

Did the whole thing by hand, but might invest in a power ball or buffer of somesort this spring/summer

Nice! ^^ Finally treated my car to the wash/wax that she has needed for too long. Managed to hide some of the scratches at least. Got my new tires mounted up, Kuhmo Ecsta ASX 205-50-15, going to the shorter sidewall meant I could put my cut down Skunk2 springs back on in the back. Man did I miss how good she looks sitting level! LOL Of course now my Megan b-pipe is exactly three inches off the road at any given time, but hey, you gotta pay to play. Also repainted the front lip with undercoating, thereby removing almost all trace of this past winter, Thank God!

^^ I need a discount card. That would be great. Now im sending other fits to them. Also helped the boys at the shop kill their six foot scaly friend by the water. He came out to sit on a rock in the sun, he was not welcome.
