Cleaning....(56k no no no)

I figured since we all know Im a picture freak id take some pics of the cleaning process. note these are all night pics and im not really sure if you can see the differences in the pics or not...I think i can because i know what it looked like in person lol. but regardless....heres some pics. and there will be more so check back later on when the process is done and pics are taken in the light

untouched for over a week.....





after the 1st wash and clay bar....on only the drivers side (hood was just washed with dawn)





if you find one spot of dirt or anything in this pic....use some program and circle it and post it.....because this section was beyond clean in my eyes.....



after the second dawn wash, whole car is claybarred and lacking any protectant.







wheres the shine





wax what?





YAY! the shine is back!! if you look on the pass. side of the hood you can REALLY see the reflection of the dumpster lid in it. (lol) just wait til daytime! weeeeee




More to come!!!

Seriously, in the first "dirty" pics, your car looks just as good as the "clean" pics. You obviously take great care of your car. Good job either way Carri.

Yeah mine sleeps under a cover too. Not nearly as much as yours....I do drive mine 2-3 times a week when its beautiful out.

lol uli she looks like poop right now.

unfortunitely its way to hot outside and the sun is way to direct to get anything accomplished right now. So no more pictures til tomorrow probably. I will be back out there this evening once this sun starts going down finishing my baby up.
