So i finally got around to cleaning my car up over Thanksgiving break. After a few hours of buffing, polishing, and waxing the paint was nearly swirl free. I keep telling myself I don't want another black car, but when black is clean and freshly waxed, it is an amazing thing...

Here are a few pics, any hints or advice for taking better pictures are welcome Big Grin

I think you have the same buffer I do... Is that a Porter Cable?

- .RJ - 12-02-2006

Yep, porter cable. The pics of the car suck, I'll have to get some more later.

- Feersty - 12-02-2006

When is the racekar gone?

More importantly, is that your dog?

- .RJ - 12-03-2006

Yes, sort of... he stays at my parents house but they'll bring him over on weekends sometimes.

- Evan - 12-18-2006

I took advantage of the weather to clean and wax up the racecar before putting it to bed for the winter. (Im sure Ill put plenty of grease handprints into the paint before 07 season though!)
The car cleaned up a lot nicer than I thought, considering the extreme abuse and neglect the paint gets.
Would have looked better with the gold race wheels, but I didnt feel like changing them then changing back.

The race car is looking nice. I agree with you, needs more gold. :lol:

- .RJ - 12-19-2006

When are we doing our vinyl for '07?

Team UniversalGoldÔäó represent!!!

- ScottyB - 12-19-2006

i love how the red top when from kind of sticking out like a sore thumb to being a totally integral part of the livery. seriously, looks killer whether you planned that out or not.

- .RJ - 12-19-2006

My plan for '07 - I gotta have the GOLD top Smile
