Default 4 hours cleaning, your getting pics...

I spent four hours pulling the wheels and giving both the wheels and wheel wells a good scrub. Turned out rather well, I do wish i was getting new calipers, rotors and pads, but since she is in storage for a while anyway I guess they can wait.
1.
BEFORE AFTER


2.



3.



4.



5.



6.




I also have some finished pics of my recent clay,cut,polish,glaze,wax,wax,wax too.
Again, I think it turned out ok, there are some spots that i had trouble with but all in all, decent. It was my first time so i hope to get better the more i use my new rotary.

7. Head on, on top of the CF hood



8. It is 32 degrees with the garage door open, can't hold still.



9. holding still shot from drivers side
