Washed my G, applied paint sealant and wax. PlastX on headlights.

Took the time a few days ago to fully wash the car and apply a paint sealant and wax to my G. Not too many other changes since my last pictures, the springs have settled a bit, I got clear corners and applied PlastX to the headlights which removed the clouded finish so they now look like glass.

looks good.

I did the plastic X treatment a while back and after a few months the clouds came back.

Try using a buffer with the plastx. Works wonders.

do you brush your teeth every 2-3 months?

u MAY have to do it monthly or every 2 mo. to keep it up.

I used plastx from meguiars and I love it.

I do PlastX and then a couple coats of wax. Only lasts a month or two though. Only takes 10-15 min to do anyway

I'll see how long the PlastX application lasts. Waxing did little if anyting at all when I tried it a few months back.

The drop definitely improves the look of the factory 17's. When I see it from a side profile when crossing the street they actually look bigger. I'm still shooting for coupe 19's whenever I come across a pair at a great price sometime down the line.
