So hard to keep a DD clean

[zinc02gt]

After a coat of Collinite 845, 1 Coat of Natty's Red, and 1 coat of AutoGlym HD, I think my car should be pretty set for a little while. There's some micromarring and very minor swirling, but it's a DD. It'll never be perfect ALL the time. I'm still learning with the new camera, so some aren't QUITE perfect.

Lookin good :xyxthumbs: What new camera did you get?

[zinc02gt]

Thanks. It's just a Kodak EasyShare. Sad that it has a learning curve.... I've had Nikon's and Canon's that were easier to use lol.

Nice car, have you done any mods to it?

And +1 on keeping DD's clean. Dirty wheel wells and dull looking tires bother me the most. Its been raining almost once a week in SoCal this winter season, so it has definitely been a challenge keeping the car clean longer than a few days.

I hear you! I tried to drive my Civic on a daily basis, but there's no way I could let my z06 just sit in the garage. I always drive the Civic when it rains, but that's few and far between. It's very hard to keep the z06 clean, but I look forward to washing it every week. Im the MANDo you have a garage, or is the stang parked outside 24/7?

Well, I bough t the car completely stock and I mean completely. I've only added a Pro 5.0 Short Throw, UPR Offroad X Pipe with some Chokemaster 40's (Flowmasters) on there. I've also added a real nice Kenwood headunit. The Mach 460 headunits are known for going bad and mine did right after I bought it. Money is tight when your in college.

I live at an apartment, so it stays outside 24/7.

I feel your pain. My DD is BLACK! My neighbors think I'm nuts. I wash it twice a week including winter time.

Nice job and thanks for replying to my thread earlier.

the gloss is quite apparent in some pics ... nice indeed.

Very nice. With all that LSP, dirt should just float off the paint.

That's kind of what I was going for lol. I used the Collinite as a sealant even though is technically not. It still looks crystal clear :D Let's see how it hold up to the incoming rain this week.
