Default Waxed the car today (PICS)

Washed the car today before the winter gets here. Decided to take some photos before the modding begins. Enjoy.

Is that an SLR in your stable? If yes how does a C6 fit performance wise? aren't you hungry for a C6 Z06 ?

Yes that is an SLR, but that's my dads. No offense to the C6 but if the SLR was mine i probably wouldn't be driving the vette that much.

I have driven the SLR and performance wise, it's just a different league, as you would expect with the price difference. The SLR is completely carbon fiber, 627hp, designed for pure racing. The seats sit ridiculously low and are made of carbon fiber too, ceramic brakes, the works. It's a beast, there's no other way to describe it.

great pics, beautiful wax job on the cars, I couldn't believe my eyes seeing the SLR next to your corvette. No corvette or any other sports car cant even compare to the Mclaren. What a car, I fly home 2/3 times a year but only saw one flying by me on the Autobahn.
Well, with a price tag like that it will be a rare side to see any SLR on any road. I believe the production in a year is also very low.
Congrats to your Dad.

Meguiars carnuba wax.

I'd like to give Zaino a try, but I haven't had a chance to order it yet. I've used Meguiars on my previous black car and it turned out great, so I was sure it would do the job.

MEGUIARS!!!!!!!!! DID YOU SAY MEGUIARS! AWESOME! NO NEED TO MESS AROUND WITH ZAINO IF MEGUIARS CARNUBA LOOKS LIKE THAT! The pic in the driveway is making my eyes pop out!

I was a huge fan of carnuba until I learned that polymers like Zaino (Maguires has one too) produce at least as good a shine but are more durable. Then I switched to Zaino. I use the Meguiars polymer on my daughters Jetta cause it is cheaper. Zaino makes me feel good like putting premium fuel in the tank.

Thats a good way of putting it, I like the polymer wax also. I use Meguiars NXT PASTE (almost entirely synethic) because it shines, protects and looks GREAT without all the Zaino super hastle. The paste goes on easy and comes off even easier!
