Looks awesome. I guess one more won't hurt. I also like this one because it shows the clarity of the black finish out of direct light. You can see how wet the paint looks.

I was actually looking for this thread, Thanks Snoopy408 for bumping it.

Since this is related to washing your car, I wanted to also share this:

This was a 05 Impreza WRX STI Engine Bay Detox I did a couple of weeks ago:

This engine bay was rarely tended to and was only "wiped off the top" about a year ago. Car goes under a lot of daily driving all year round, as you can see.
