Just Washed and Waxed Ooooo so shiny

just got dun washing and waxing the car. since i can just ignore the evap check engine light for now with no harm, i figured this would give me the right amount of time to get to know the car and all the point problems she has. theirs not much but there are some annoying ones that say she will never be a show car lol Name:  17620302_1313561715394587_2640367699587606145_o.jpg

Use Goo Gone to help remove the sticker and the left over gunk; it will take a little work, but won't hurt the paint. Once done wash and wax. Have removed/replaced several emblems/stickers using this method and have never had a problem.

I told my salesman to remove the dealership sticker before I even got there to sign the papers.

looks good.if your "problem areas?" are surface scratches in the clearcoat and swirls try a random orbital buffer.just did my camaro for the first time today and it makes quite a difference.can also be used to easily apply wax.

Dyno proved to be more powerful and quicker when clean and shiny.

oh the problem areas are the dip wad before me used a paint pen that used to much paint on the scratched areas. yeah no way she can be a show car but it does not mean i cant buff and shine. i like cars with a little history

i always loved seeing those old classics withe the road chips on the front but there nice and shinny or the race cars with the same.
