green NXT pics

I just finished waxing my car a few days ago with nxt and got some pics...came out pretty good, after it runs out tho' I'm gonna try zino instead.

edit: Ok looks like the pics are too big to post on here...they're about 370k

If you have Windows XP, you can use the picture viewing utility to resize pictures easily. Just do a Google search for Windows XP Powertoys, and download the free picture resizer.

Leave em. Green looks better with the stock corners imo. My green will stay that way at least.

Yea I'm definetly getting clear corners...it kills me to see orange on that car, that's gonna be the first thing I get, along with painting the calipers (yellow or silver, still undecided).

You're right I didn't do the tires...I kinda figured why do em since I'm gonna drive right away and ruin it anyway.

What's pc 7427?

What's pc 7427?
oh man. you dont know what a pc 7427 is? you better go to www.autopia.org and start learning! . great info there, you'll be real happy that you went! well, a pc 7427 is a polisher, you can fit all types of pads and acessories on it. soon you will get swirls (everybody gets them), and waxing alone will not help with it, so you will need paint prep (claying, polishing). just to to autopia.org youll have a great time there :D . and dont use black magic tire dressings! theyre crap, use megs instead. oh yeah and if you decide to lyaer your NXT wait 12 hours before applying another layer, the more layers you have the better it looks (i perfer 3 for nxt). hope this helps!

Looks good. Do you have any close-up or larger pictures? Have you ever considered applying a coat of carnauba on top of the NXT? It adds a nice deep wet finish to it .
