Damn looks really good, nice job man. I need to give my car a nice makeover like that. But there's construction all over my town and it's impossible to keep clean.

Nice job. I noticed that you apply the wax in a circular motion. I highly suggest that you apply it in a straight motion to avoid swirls.

yeah, i used to apply it in a straight motion, but then i got a HUGE gash in my paint from: get this... a fly with a rock stuck to its body lol... I couldn't believe that shit either. I never ever let my pads get dirty, and make sure there is no dirt or grit in the pad before i apply my wax, thanx for the tip though, i completely understand what your saying, but with my experience, I would much rather rotate and notice something in a small circle instead of draggin along the car lol. The swirls that were in my paint as you can see in the first pictures were from my ex girlfriend, she was trying to do a good deed by taking my car to the local car wash and get it waxed, but little does she know how many time a day those buffing pads are used. After that my paint was like a giant spider web, bitch... lol

No doubt about it, black is a pain in the ass, but you know as well as i do that when black is clean... IT IS CLEAN!!! I don't care what anybody says, black when its washed and waxed right is the sexiest car color on the road. Yeah that fine layer of dust is beautiful, I'm not sure how it is where you are, im sure the conditions are close to mine, but it seems everytime I bust my ass on my car, it rains no more than 2 days later

Is that a door dent on the back passenger side door... Inconsiderate mofo's. Black cars look great but have to be perfect!
