And I did a pretty damn good job for once! Thanks to Dwhite, I can take some decent pics. What do you guys think?

Also, something no ones seen from me here, but here's my dad's Harley Wide Glide.

TELL ME YOUR BRAKE DUST SECRETS. Mine is terrible :( I've got some wheel woolies and a mother's wheel brush along with some Meg's Hot Rims cleaner. They changed the april 2014 build dates and later apparently to prevent this. I need a clean / detail.

Also, are you debadged? I'm considering removing the focus logo. I just installed (well.. half.. some RokBlokz. I got the front done but have to do the rear still.)

Cleanest vehicle at my house that bike is. :)

Thanks! It's the nicest she's looked since the day she left the showroom. :)

I am surprised girls aren't throwing themselves at you to feel the power of the ST.

OH I don't have any secrets, I just grabbed an old towel, grabbed some tire/wheel cleaner and cleaned up the outer rim. I find it impossible to get the inside of the wheels so I rarely try unless I take the wheels off, which I will be doing when I respray the calipers in a week.

I think I recall someone saying that they changed the brake compound for MY14 if that's what you're talking about? Mine's an Oct '13 build date.

They just don't know what to do with themselves when they see the PST rolling!

Neat! The cleanest vehicle here is mine... http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/fresh-and-clea…

Nice! Very clean, love the color too. What car is that?

Nice! What color are you doing the calipers? And yeah, they changed it mid- 2014. Larger rotors and pads, but apparently you don't get that crazy bite. I'm a May 2013 build. I try and get the inside of the wheel, but goddamn it's not even worth it lol.

They want you Karl you just don't know it.

It really isn't worth it to get the inside unless you wanna take the weheel off.

I already painted them yellow, the next coat will b the same. :)

I washed my car yesterday. It feels good.

It had a month's worth of grime plus some cat paw prints (I loathe cats) and a fine layer of dust from last week's Santa Ana winds here in LA.

I'm going to have to detail it soon, though. I'm starting to notice swirls and it's making me very sad.

Washing my car tonight, really re-evaluate where I am in the car world right now. I'm very glad that I've got my ST right now; I don't think I'd have it any other way right now. :)

Thanks! It's a '14 Toyota Sequoia, essentially a Tundra SUV.

Nice job. I washed mine the other day, and it promptly rained.

Unfortunately it's supposed to rain/storm/showers Tuesday night and all through Wednesday where I am, I'm just glad I could clean her once before she got even dirtier.

Very nice. I just put in a nice order with auto geek for some detailing stuff. pretty stoked.

I don't have much in the way of cleaning supplies. Just a wash mit, and a lot of micro-fiber cloths. I usually use Meguiars or Carnuba wax or polish.

They changed to the Escape caliper/pad, you can tell which MY14s have it, by checking the spare tire. Ones that do have a 17in steelie as 16s wont fit anymore.

Great colour that really pops in the sunlight.

I won't post the pics of my friend's after I did it as they have had too much exposure recently on here and people will be bored of looking at them.

I didn't…. until this car. I've got a Tux black, so i try and keep it nice and clean. Gonna try and get the dealer installed swirls out finally. Also bought some touch up, which I'm finding is necessary since I don't have a clear bra.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
05/19/2014 at 15:12

Hmm I haven't needed touch-up yet. My car was swirl free from the dealer...did I get really lucky or something??

I use to wash my last car but I never detailed it because I sucked at it.

05/19/2014 at 15:17

You must have lol. I also got a 2013 (leftover.. i bought it this Feburary), so it had been sitting on the lot. Did you get yours right off a truck?

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
05/19/2014 at 15:20

Nope, it was shipped form another dealer's showroom, sat on the lot for a couple days before I picked her up, and detailed/washed when I got her.
