High quality pics...56k wash your car while it loads
I finally had a day off from work, and enough time to apply a coat of paste wax and a coat of polish.
I went with what we have in our basement. I washed the car with Meguiers NXT soap like I always do, and then waxed with Simonez Paste wax 2. Then I polished it with blue coral. I'm really happy with the results, though not many of the pictures do the shine justice.
I took 26 or so pics, and I'm only gonna put the ones that i think came out really good on here, and the rest im gonna put in an online photoalbum somewhere, just not sure where, give me some suggestions cause i dont have an online album anywhere.
PS-I have high-res pics upon request.

Car looks REALLyY nice man!! It may be just the pics but it looks like your exhaust tips are not to straight ? Fix that up and the car will be perfect.

Usually you polish before you wax. The polish cleans the paint, removes oxidation and swirl marks. The wax offers the protection. I think you got the steps in the wrong order. Car does look good though, I just don't think you acheived the full results. Check out the show and shine section and follow member ZaneO's method. He knows his stuff.

nope... the headlights are sylvania silverstars, look great in person, bright, with a blueish tint, but for some reason they look really crappy in the pics. Though my headlight lenses are very foggy, im gettin some sandpaper and plastic polish tomorrow though to take care of that. I think maybe it was my camera and the lighting outside that caused them to come out so bad, cause as you can tell a lot of the pics are blurry too... I think im gonna have to borrow my girlfriends camera its a little better than the one i used.

if your going to polish your lenses i heard the sandpaper, water and alloy wheel cleaner method works really well. Whatever you do don't buy those lense restoration kits they do almost nothing.
