After a clay bar and wax evening I got creative with my camera.

Check out this pic in reflection.

All I did was clay bar the car, took about 30 minutes and then an application of Black Magic's Wet Shine using my orbital buffer. The whole process took less than two hours.

Now a caveat......the AE is not my DD, never driven in the rain and gets Quick Detailed each time when I get home. 22500 on the clock and a whole lot of fun.


Here's another pic I took without a flash in the garage
