Default Pics of My tC's First wax

i know my tC is stock, but everyone seems to post the same stock pics of there tC. i waxed my car on saturday with Shining Monkey 3 steps. the car has a better finish then when i bought. Oliver (scion909) felt the finish and was surprised by how smooth it was. i would recommend giving them a try.

here are some pics.

the steps are
1. wash
2. clay bar
3. shining monkey polish
4. shining monkey hand glaze
5. shining monkey wax

as for the widebody, it needs to be cleaned up a little bit before i take more pics of it. i also never the rims i wanted for it and will be selling it shortly since i am moving out of state.

that is my g/f in my avatar which is matrixgrl_562 on here. luminics is not really a mod. it is just bulbs, so i do consider my car stock. i need to run the sticker also since they sponsor scinergy

man, claybar makes such a difference even on new-ish paint. Looks nice man, plus white's hard to make shiny and it definitely does it. Good work!

most of the tC stuff is backordered for weeks i am also moving to las vegas in about 1-1/2 months. i have plans, but it will be mild and look clean. this is going to be a daily driver still, so i am not going extreme.

since the car was new i almost didn't clay bar it, but the finish was a 1000 times better then when i bought it. it is super smooth.
