OMG! I hate black paint!
« on: Fri Jul 03 '09, 01:47:18 PM »
And yet... when it's all waxed and you've spent an hour buffing and rubbing and caressing it with a diaper... it is so goddamned beautiful.

Pics with my reflection in them coming shortly.  :bg

A diaper???


I was being facetious. You know the dad with the ferrari in Ferris Bueller's Day Off? He never drove the car, he just rubbed it with a diaper...

Money shots!



Roof. Sorry, I'm not in the reflection, primarily because my hair is up in a headband and I look like ass. I will say this, I will ALWAYS apply wax with my bare fingers from now on. Using pads and applicators is a PITA compared to using your fingers and your fingers are easier to clean and you are less likely to drop them on the ground.



Roof shot #2



Shot #3 so you can see how shiny the roof is. I hate maintaining the black roof, but when it's done and it looks like this, I fall in love with it all over again.



Bonnet, freshly waxed. Love how shiny and gorgeous it looks...



Yes, that is a roll of paper towels on the ground, so you can see the reflection in the car. My paint has held up really well considering it's been a year. She's never been to a car wash. She has always been washed and waxed by hand.



Not my favorite shot of the car, the light isn't really right for me to get a good front side shot while she's in the garage. But I put it here again so that you can look in the background. If you look closely you can see my daughter running away. She helps me keep Viola clean and hates getting her picture taken.  :bg

Heh - having an all Jet Black MCS since 2003, I know about hating black paint, but dang, she is gorgeous for about 2 hours after a detailing. :gi
