Calling all Whitewater Pearls
#1706
4 hours today cleaning. First a wash and dry, then a full car clay which took almost an hour to do. I cant believe how much contamination was on the paint once I got up nice and close. SO many little orange spots. After clay a wipe down with detail spray and then a coat of Meg's NXT Tech Wax 2.0. After all that it's pretty clean for now. I will have to polish it at some stage as there is faint water spotting on the roof and glass that the clay couldnt get.

I'll finally contribute. Some pictures I took this morning in the parking garage...decided to let her see the streets for once...lol. Dedicated autocross car for those who don't know. Sorry for the crap quality.. Droid 2 phone is all I have for a camera at the moment.
Thinking of getting the wheels powder coated Satin Black, or Satin Charcoal. Suggestions?

:P Where are some updated pics of your car Mike? Haven't even seen any racing pics lately! I took all the vinyls off the other day because I realized I don't have anymore money for National Tours/Nats this year.

Thanks X. Do you happen to have a writeup or pictures on how you installed yours? I'm actually going to be "re-installing" mine today with my buddy. Mazdatrix was less than helpful and basically told me to figure it out myself...we tried a few things, but the double sided tape didn't stick to the polyurethane (you can see if you look really close on the pictures).
As for wheel specs, 18x9 +35 all around with Dunlop Star Specs 255/35. Rest of the info is all on my blog under the build section. :D
