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.

If this is product of your detailing skills, I am impressed!

Clean car too.

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.
