Thanks man! I tried to keep it as non-rice and classy as possible. I didn't want to drive around a vehicle that my girlfriend would be embarassed to be in

bling bling!!

You can keep dust at bay with the right products and the right techniques. I've found that certain waxes attract more dust than others.

Meguiar's Cleaner Wax = dust magnet, less deep looking than other waxes, odd consistency.

Meguiar's Gold Class liquid = dust magnet, but looks AWESOME for a day or two.

Zymol Cleaner wax (blue) = dust magnet, creates a TON of dust through application, tough to buff off paint, unspectacular looks.

S100 = pretty good at keeping dust away, easiest wax to use BY FAR!, great reflectivity and depth.

Klasse AIO + SG = great for keeping away dust, but less deep looking than when topped with S100.

I run the California Car Duster over my car every couple of days, followed immediately by Mother's Showtime quick detailer and a microfiber cloth. I also wash my car every 1-2 weeks, to keep buildup of dirt low.

well done

The never ending battle of keeping a black car clean. I run through the touchless drive through once a week (no wax) then do a wax job once a month with the mothers carnuba and a 6 in power waxer. Does a good job IMO.

This is a STi Performance muffler, which is optional from the dealer for $895. You can find them used for half the price or less, which is what I did.

They're leather + suede seat covers from www.leatherseats.com . I got them on NASIOC during the 4th group buy. They were a PITA to install, taking two people a whole night and the following morning. They look OEM, which is the best part.

The momo **** feels a million times better than the STi titanium piston ****, and even better than the stock ****. It matches the steering wheel EXACTLY, so there is a sense of continuity in the cockpit.

Thanks for the compliment

Meguiars Gold Class car wash
Clay Magic clay bar
3M Swirl mark remover (by random orbital polisher)
Klasse All-in-one x2
Klasse Sealant Glaze x2
S100 wax
Mother's Showtime quick detailer

Since I kept my paint in pretty good condition. I just washed and waxed it with the Meguiar's and the S100, respectively.

Tasty, those rims look great on that car. I would recomend new calipers since you can see so much of them. Otherwise amazing ride.
