ultra clean. the debadged from grill make you 430 look concept-like.
Like lots of us, I removed the trunk emblems (leaving the 'L'). super clean.

tell us about your detailing work.
what was done to pull out such a smooth and bright finish?

thanks. i shot some at red rock before i lowered it. now that it's lowered, i'm a little embarrassed to post them again. i didn't drop the top this time because i had just finished washing it and didn't want to clean the glass again. it was kind of spur of the moment, the garage is only 5 minutes away.

thanks. my friend recommended meguiar's tech wax 2.0. i thought the name sounded cheesy, but i was surprised and happy with the results. i hand applied it 6 months ago and it's still looking good. it's actually the best wax i've ever used. as for the glass, i use invisible glass and a microfiber towel.

The wheels look great, nice to see some variety.

What’s next on the list?

Love all the pics, I've used that wax and have had wonderful results, I even wash my cars twice a week and the shine is tremendous. Your wheels are a 10!!

car looks great. The wheels work, but are a little chunky for my taste
