I finally got around to posting some pictures of my bone stock BB after I cleaned it. Some people had seen pictures and asked me to post them along with what I did to the car. To be honest, once I saw how well the pictures my sister took turned out I wished I had planned to have the car at a more exotic locale rather than in front of my place. But oh well... maybe next time!

So here's what I did, pics will follow:
1. Washed the car (of course)
2. Clay Bar (I used Clay Magic)
3. Meguiar's Deep Crystal System Step 2 (the Polish step)
4. Meguiar's nxt Tech Wax Paste

I worked the polish in, removed the polish and applied the wax by hand. I went over the wax with a buffer once it had dried and then went over it all by hand a last time.

Since I did the work (a few weeks ago) the car has been driven daily and has seen some weather. I've been really, really impressed with the way the wax has held up.








And one for the people who always say "we want to see a side view!"

Uhh that's my car. For real, exact same with everything even down to the strakes, tint, and moonroof deflector. Good choice!

Wow a black stock RX8.

Looks nice. You should have gotten the chrome wheels.

UFGator12

He does? Shoot, I can't even tell. Well, you win I guess.

sure its a black stock 8, but he's here showing off his detailing also.

dgarvich

Yeah, it's stock. I blew up my RX-7 by pretending I had enough money to own / drive a race car. Hopefully I won't do that to this car. :P

I'm really just posting the pictures to show the detailing on the car and give people who had asked me about it some pictures of a car detailed using Meguiar's products. Perhaps it should have been in the detailing forum... but the pics were big so I figured they'd go best here.

It looks like you missed a spot Just messing with you. It looks stunning.

dgarvich

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I saw that after the picture was taken but the picture was a cool reflection shot so I decided to use it anyway.

You can see by the daylight I was rushing to get everything finished for the pictures. It's the best time of day to take pictures like this but it's also the shortest window to take pictures in.

I gave a serious D'oh when I saw that hehe

Will you please stop with the jerk comments? In every thread you have some comment complaining about how you don't like the car in some way. I'll have to say what I really think about your car the next time you make a thread rather than keeping my mouth shut.

a clean BB that lasted 5 seconds before a lay of dust caught up to it?

XDEEDUBBX

very clean! time for some mods! make yoruself stand out..

Hightshoe

Very nice, but why take pics with the sunroof open? It akes so much away from the looks of the car.

BlueFrenzy

Good job on the detailing. Love the pic of the hood and clouds. Wish it would stop snowing here, so I can wash and detail my car.

Zero_Rotary

mirror finish...nice

'87 Turbo II

damn, that's like driving a mirror. NICE! I can only hope that when I repaint my car, I have the patience to keep it looking that nice.

redcivic

Very nice man. Don't mind Razz, he is just hatin' because his car has no flow and it's always dirty in every pic.

snipaz2420

wow looks good. its to cold over in ny to give my bb a good cleaning and waxing. have to settle with the car wash. if you want to complete the look go for some clear corners they look really nice on black. but well done regardless.

dgarvich

I definitely agree with that... of the (very) few modifications I plan to make to this car that's one of the ones near the top of the list.

Thanks all for the kind words!
