It does look good, but you're cheating with that Pewter paint - it makes it too easy

I think as long as you keep the car waxed, it does a great job in protecting the paint from UV damage.

Bummer.....don't you just hate it when you rub and rub so much that you rub the beautiful torch red paint right off the car and that primer shows through!

Great looking car and some cool photos also. Good to see another south florida car.

OMG you didn't. Say it isn't so? If you truly love your car, and by the looks of it you do, NEVER EVER use slime-all on it. The car looks great but word of advise, get some quality car care products for her. Over time slime-all (aka armor all) will do more harm than good.

I agree . Killerwheels from autogeek can hook you up with some great products .
BTW , I really like your wheels and your car too . That's a great looking ride you have there !
