yup... and if you really want to shine your car.. you really got to start from claybar (assuming that it hasn't been done alrleady) polish, and wax, and then detail it... NXT is good like alt said... for a quickie.. on days that you can't spend the 5 hours ;p

Alright so I have got my 8 liscened now and all of the most expensive parts of the new car are complete. What is the recommended site for you guys for accessories? I have been looking through here for some good ideas and I love the Clear corners and the Chrome Gas cap. I had a favorite sponsor/site for my last car I was wondering where you guys go for the 8.

Is Zaino a wax or also a polish? I want a good shine with protection.

Zaino is a polish and protectant. It's a multi-step cleaning, polishing & protecting system and it's awesome! You can buy individual products. IMO the whole kit is the way to go, clay bar and all! Check it out here. It seems a bit pricey but it's worth it and you'll get plenty of applications out of it.

Always glad to have another VR Logan, but ditch the cameraphone shots. Give us some real shots!

Shine Auto Project... their rendition of the KS-Auto Burnout KD-IV Type 2 done in flexible fiberglass.

Call Ken at 909-773-0820 for pricing. They've got them in stock. They come in glossy black gel coat, but this has been sanded and shot in two-part PCL flat black primer. Graphics are done in gloss black vinyl, but need to be changed to something a bit brighter soon. It's a little too subtle now.

you should be the first person to volunteer painting the whole 8 a flat black color. I honestly think that would look great.

Seen it on a few EVO, STI, and 240s... i think the 8 can pull it off as well.
