Beautiful clear pinkish blu-ish Sky = Great reflections
 
Today the sky was cloud free and had this Pinkish Blue-ish color to it, It was the perfect day to wash my boxster. Here are afew photos I took with my iPhone after i washed it, the reflections are mirror like. God I love Southern California!!! Sorry i dont mean to rub it in Chicago. :(

Anyway, here are the pictures i took today after I washed my car... Incase anyone wants to know what I use to wash it...
Its Meguires NXT soap with a soft Chenille Wash Pad to wipe the car with. Then i rinse and dry with a "Absorber" chammy to dry the car...

I like the Absorber brand cause its really absorbant and easy to ring out but most of all, it doesnt leave swirl marks at all like some cotton chammy's i've used in the past use to do... proof is in the pictures. Oh and i didnt wax it but 2 weeks ago, I used Turtle Wax Platinum liquid wax. Good stuff, doesnt leave permanent white residue on plastics or rubber and is very easy to wipe off. Any questions feel free to PM me.

Snow, damn i feel for you. If you washed the car in your garage and then pull it out into the snow once the snowfall has stopped, that would be a nice photo opportunity!

It looks good!
My car looks about the same right know, because I just waxed it for the winter. To bad I have to go and get it covered in snow tomorrow.
:cheers:

Looks sweet.
I'm ready for you to upgrade the rims now.

CJ_Boxster 12-09-2007 07:43 PM

Yeah rims are #2 on my upgrade list of priorities, I'd want some Turbo II knock-offs. I know a guy that can get me some for under 9oo bucks.

Hey if you buy replicas make sure they are made in Italy. Some are of the really cheap,$400-600 on eBay are made in China.

Your ride looks brand new man. Sweet!

Jealous, nothing but rain and clouds here in MD. Friday looks like the earliest for a break in the wet weather. Very clean, nice!

cj,

Car looks great !

Weather here sucks, in the 20's. Had to scrape ice off of the car windows yesterday. At least I got to go snowboarding, but I crashed jumping over a bench and now I'm layed up on the couch working from home :mad:

Looks nice...my car is under wraps for the next several months as the Chicago winter prevails. Looks like a heavy ice storm tomorrow; glad my Grand Cherokee is all wheel drive.

yeah chicago weather sux, scraping ice off the windows is no fun, but sliding around intentionally is really awesome, so there :)
