Beautiful Pics! I love how you keep the car so clean in the winter. I washed and waxed mine 2 weeks ago, washed it last weekend on saturday just before meeting with some like minded rotary enthusiasts and on the way down I picked up enough dust that it looked like I never washed it at all . The melting snow caused so much dirt and dust on the road. Can't wait for spring to hit full swing and my car can look as good as yours.

PS You don't have the only jealous wife... :p

Car looks great especially without the front plate.
Here the UK we have to have a front plate or face a fine, real pity as it looks so much better without

Nice pics.... was that whole wax job done with Meguiar's NXT ? Or did you use something else?

50% Mcguirs NXT only, 50% Mcguirs tech wax with carnuba as a first coat, NXT as a second coat. WTF you are wondering? I started out with the roof, the front hood and the rear trunk and spoiler with a coat of Mcguirs tech wax, the yellow wax with carnuba. Then I applied a second coat of NXT to those areas and a first coat of NXT to the remaining areas. I figured that the horizontal surfaces have more exposure to sun and moisture sitting on them than the vertical so they needed extra protection...

OK, didn't buy that? I got lazy after the first sections with the Mcguirs Tech wax because I did them the night before and it got too dark and just said the hell with it and went with the NXT over the whole car the next day. I did do the wheels in the Mcguirs Tech wax only, though.

I'll be adding more wax layers soon.

It's interesting that you decided to photograph your red shiny phallic object in front of another phallic object.

I think your wife is jealous, but not for the reasons that you think.
