Haha - thanks Here's a decent full-shot. The quality of the picture isn't too great because photobucket seriously downsized my original, which makes the picture look crappy, but you get the idea.

Great work everyone. I wish I had pics like these to share, but we have REALLY good automated carwashes out here in Vegas. For the full trim including RainX coating and no-buff wax, it only costs about $11. They even scrub your wheels by hand for you. I just add tire shine and I am done. Colour me spoiled.

That's exactly what they do out here BiggJ, $2 to $11 depending on the options you get, and I'm guilty of indulging on a weekly basis between early spring and late fall. Although when I have time at my parents house and it's not freezing, I'll wash/wax it myself.
The no-touch wash/wax turns the car out great, you just wipe it down immediately with a terry-cloth or no-lint towel and you're good to go. I don't even have to add the tire shine, because they usually still look wet for three days unless there's a lot of salt on the roads.
I usually tip the guys that scrub the wheels a few bucks, and end up getting extra air fresheners and these cloth towel packets soaked in window cleaner. The towels do come in handy and are 1000x better than any of the rain-x/armorall window wipes. And with all of those extra airfreshers, my car always pleasantly reeks of vanilla.

I also like the Grand Prix's, so post away! I like that mirror-image of the clouds.

Everyone's cars have turned out great.

Camaro88lover...You did an awesome job. The pic of the hood reminds me of the professional detailing job Craig (Propitious) did on his black SS. Mirror finish.
Don't worry about the Grand Prix pics. It's all in the same GM family. We briefly had a problem of too many people using Fords, Mopars, andimportsas their signature pic. But it's all good now. I like GP's too.

We have an autimated car wask, ive gone through a few times but its just not my favroite, because no matter what the wheels wont come clean. I added tire shine once and the dirt like soaked into my tires. And my wheel wells need to be repainted.
