I loved the products! Thanks for helping me select them and recomending the edge pads.
No problem! My goal is to make the New England club home of the shiniest S2Ks!

The BYS wing fits great. Easy to install too with no new holes needed. You lose the third brake light though, but oh well.

As far as the PC goes, I love it. I couldn't imagine owning this car without one. A monkey with enough patience and time can use the PC and get good results. If I had to do a major swirl removal again though, I would probably try to learn how to do it with a rotary, even if just for the more aggressive polish step. The less aggresive stuff breaks down fairly faster though, and was much easier to use.

Applying wax with the PC and the white pad is the easiest thing ever! I think it will at least cut in half my waxing time. It will certainly allow me to apply a coat when I otherwise would not have had time.

That driveway looks like a dust bucket. Your car looks great but your hard work will be shortlived

Congrats on getting some nice shots before you drive down the road

Yeah, when we bough the house last October, it came with this clam shell driveway. I don't know if they use it in other parts of the country, but it is basicly a dirt road covered with crushed clam shells. Thankfuly it doesnt stink

I am going to have to wait until we do an addition to the house befroe paving it because we arent exactly sure what the layout is gonna be. It actualy doesn't dust very bad at all, but the shells do kick up if you drive to fast. And, you see they stick to the tires

I love using the pinnacle products. They do really work great for beginners. Here are what I did with my car and my friend using the same steps.
