During the course of drying the windows the car ends up dry without you touching the body panels. biggrin.gif I just got done doing the first part of an initial Zaino Show Car Polish application to the Celi.....the Wash with Dawn, claybar the car, wash with dawn steps. Taking a break now before I go mix the swirl reducer polish and put a couple of coats on, then one coat of the final polish.

If you want pics.......you'll have to wait! muahahahahahaha..........ha ha ha........ha......hooooooooooo

This evening pics will be posted. I must say that for a 99, the paint is in pretty good shape all things considered (location, mileage).

Yes, that is a tire. I actually had 4 wheels and tires in the car when these were taken, 4 BIG ones. They're my new vette shoes -- 275/35-18 and 295-35-18 GSD3's and 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 wheels.

No spoilers for this car. LOVE the spoilerless look, save for Doggy's Ducktail which is an unfortunate unavailability. Splitters are planned as well as clears.....trying to figure out a clear foglight too.

There's only 1 set of stickers on the front windshield -- My McGuire AFB stickers. Gotta have those. The other two above are PA inspection stickers, although I could take out the emissions one.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!! If anyone's interested.....www.zainobros.com is the website for the polish.

*Edit* Just so you guys know, the paint isn't as good as the pics tell. There's a lot of minor surface scratches (pretty much entire car, which is why I'd like to do a random orbital buff job or even better wet sand the car) and a lot of chips and dings. The nose has some pretty bad peeling too. It just cleans up well. biggrin.gif
