Did the same today. I zainoed my baby. It was 6 of the longest hours of my life. Honestly, ive never felt soooooo physically exhausted in my life. Was supposed to go out tonight, but my bodys in pain.

Hehe I love the little car tent.... pretty sweet idea so you dont have to always wait for the sun to go away

Looks good man. How long did you spend cleaning it?

Reminds me of my car when I had my 19's lol. Looking good bro.... Your car is clean!

^lol funny how much our cars look the same.... the little differences make them very different but nice looking car too ;)

about 8 hours

sweet.

is there any disadvantage to ripping out the insulation in the engine bay?

You werent kidding when you said dress.

love that oil cap! Is that stock? if not where to get?

???, your talking about the yellow one. Yes, it is stock.

Looking at your last picture makes me want to put up a tent next time I wash/detail my car. The garage is too tight at my place and I would be out in the sun if I did detailing. :)

:O what rims are those?

Looking good!

your car is awesome good job keeping it clean

There are several threads about this but noise would be the only one I can think of for me personally

i perosnally dont think the noise is significant enough to be a disadvantage

Looks great. Did you machine polish it? I did mine a few weeks ago, and the difference is night and day, although mine was in great condition before.

Beautiful car, inside and out.

I didnt get my Porter Cable in time for this detail but I did use a 2800 rpm buffer. When I get the PC I will go for a cut, polish, and wax :D:

Thank you, I try very hard to keep it that way too ;)
