        That would be a driveway reflector, for the winter so the snow phoughs dont destroy the retaining wall and grass

          Unfortunately the light colored pearl coat doesn't give that "WOW" of a shine that you get with darker colors, but here's what I got:



          I'm in there somewhere




          Here's my last car just so you can see that I really CAN get it pretty shiny



          Oops sorry wrong pic







          Oh yeah, products - Zaino Z-2 and Z-5 in random alternating usage

                Thanks G6 cruiser.
                I miss your old car too, it was coming along nicely before the accident.
                So where are the pics the new car?

                  Meguiars all the way. Both cars after Wash, Claybar, Scratch X, and a couple coats of wax.

                      Wow seeing all of these really makes me want to get on waxing my car since it hasn't gotten a wax in over a year.

                      Nick, I love how you can barely even see your car in the picture since it's like a mirror

                        Thanks
                        That was supposed to be the last wax before winter, but winter doesnt seem to really be coming in much of a hurry, so may not be the last one.
                        Hopefully the salt wont completly destroy the paint too much
