How much the cost buddy? or is it by yourself?

The cost of what? The car itself? I paid $16,500.

The Waxing. Big Grin

I did the wax myself. I went to walmart and paid $20 for Turtle Wax Ice spray on wax, Turtle Wax Ice detailer, and Turtle Wax microfiber towels. The quickest wax I've ever done in my life, took about 20 minutes in total. I should have done another application for extra shine, but I'm happy with the way it looks now. Carnauba is still the best, but I'll never spend 3 hours waxing a car again.

Looks really good. The turtle wax Ice product line is good for what it is, but it doesn't last long. I noticed that water would quit beading up after only a few weeks. But, as easy as it is to use, it's not a huge deal.

Yup, I plan on washing once-twice a week using the detailer and doing a re-wax once a month.

That Koup looks lovely after the waxing (silver too, unless I'm confused)

I've discovered a new love for detailing with this car. For some reason I *want* to keep it looking shiny, which is unusual cos I'm a lazy gamer IRL Big Grin

Now it's AutoGlym, microfiber waffle weave, mitts, 2-bucket-method and tyre dressing! My g/f thinks I've gone OCD bananas.

Yes, it's Bright Silver and thank you.

I would never use tire dressing, does nothing for keeping your tires clean and it usually slings off onto your paint making a mess.

I've heard varying views on about the actual benefits of tyre dressing, although I use Turtlewax Platinum series, which doesn't sling off at all.
