Yup. Lighter colors just don't show the same depth or reflection as the darker ones. You can make the car clean and shiny, but it won't have those mirror-type reflections that darker colors do. PY is the same way...

Nice!! What kind of wax you use? Meguiars? I have a black car to, Meguiars NXT Tech Wax really does wonders with it!

Keep it up!

Re: (Dc2 Powered)

yea washing, clay baring, polisher, sealer, and finally wax took me from 11am to 6pm. that includes vacuming and cleaning the inside of the car. the mothers 3 stage thing takes a long *** time. but its well worth it. looking at the car and feeling the softness is ggggrreeaattt..

do any of you guys know a good way to clean rims. i got some tar in my right rear and it wont come off with wax... does bug and tar remover really work?

Yeah, bug and tar remover really works. Just be gentle when you're using it.
