Talking Let the Liquid Shine!

So I took the day off today and cleaned the car. It took me about 4 hrs to wash it then clay it then waxed it.

This is the first time I clayed it in 3 months of having it. The paint is very smooth now and looks wet, it feels so nice when u touch it.

Unfortunately this is the best my iPhone 6 camera can do. I should've used my DSLR.

















Sick21 it's ur turn!!!

I wanted to go darker but it'll be hard to see at night.

Good Lord - 15% all around! Man, I couldn't handle that... You're blocking out 85%! Do you drive at night?

PS - That does not meet your state's law - Must allow a total of more than 20% of light in, which includes any factory tinting.

Yep I'm aware, 5% more isn't like horribly noticeable. And I can see just fine at night. Most people I know go 5 or 10%. Which I definitely feel is too dark. We don't have vehicle inspections or anything so very rarely do you even get busted for 5%. And the responses are ironic, I have had three people ask why I didn't go darker, I found 15 to be sufficient.

I find it hilarious you're telling me my state law.... Lol it's not like I tinted my windows myself in my backyard.

Looking good. If you guys have 30 dollars to spare (), get a bottle of Gtechniq c2v3 (thanks to Syd). You will like to touch it even more. So little work for so much shine and smoothness.
