After Plogging it, PLIM'ing it, Alluminum gasketing it, APN'ing it and changing the oil... Then running up and down the interstate a bunch today.......... It was very dirty from all of the work and me sweating all over it( Me dripping everywhere )... Then attaching bugs to the front end I had no choice but to wash it....lol

The Car is growing on me... Just needs MO POWAH

I know the feeling Don.

If all goes well tomorrow (or Friday) and the weather cooperates this weekend, mine will be getting the same treatment (she probabaly needs it really bad). :)

I just picked up a can of NXT and I hope to pick up a new clay bar soon. Hopefully I can get awesome results like the new SLE.

How would you compare it to Gold Glass?

Honestly... While I was using the NXT I was thinking I wish I had my Gold Class.. I will go back to gold class... NXT is nice, but I think Gold class leaves a better smoother shine...

I almost agree with peter

I might take that NXT back and get another can of GC. (its still in the package from wal-mart)

I actually liked my NXT better than my previous ten bottles of Gold Class. Are you guys applying by hand or by machine?

Btw, nice looking car, wasn't even aware you had one of those :).

Looks good, I just clay bar'd the other day too. Had to do from the trim down on the sides. It's a great thing to have eh? :banana:

Make sure to re-wax if you haven't!

The car was waxed after the clay bar... I need a day where I can just detail the car.. Inside and out..

Looks good!!! I like Gold Class's shine better than LG, but LG lasts longer, so I use it in winter. I detailed the GXP and my dad's boss asked how much it took to get me to do it, lol. Gold class has a better shine, IMO.
