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!!!

Oh yea that is not a good weather to clean a car.

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.

You guys down South are so lucky with your nice weather. My car is covered in frost and dirt right now.
