Gen6 Tint and Detail on my 07 Camry SE

It was waxed with Liquid Souveran about 2 weeks ago, just did a quick wash on it due to dust and it raining yesterday.

The tints are 35% front and 20% rear

Thanks a lot for the replies! Blacks pretty tough keeping up.

Here's one more picture I found, I'm loving the perspective view on this:

I have the identical car as well.. Did you polish and then wax it? How long did you wait to detail the car after buying it?

Thumbs up

That's really sharp! If you don't mind, where'd you get your windows tinted? And how much?

I like it when you get yourself into the reflection of the photo.

Black is fantastic...for a few minutes...hehe!

Nice looking car!

How are you liking the 35% tint on the fronts? The (only) local tinting shop will only put on 35% for fronts, rear, and back windows, but I think that may be too light. Also, they are charging $360 to do it! How much did you get the tints for? Thanks!

PS Ride looks sweet.

I got my tints done from a guy that works in a car wash place near Logan Square. PM me for information. He charged me $140 for it. The only reason I got two tone tints were because I'm in a pretty urban area, so quite a bit of cops. Cops actually would write up tickets or pull you over for them, so I didn't mind getting 35% front. If I were to do it again, I'd probably do 30/20 or 30/15 for it to be darker in the sunlight, but at nighttime, it's perfect. It comes with a lifetime warranty too.

I actually started detailing it the second day I got it home. I clayed it right away with a wash and polished it with XMT 2 and XMT 3, which was probably a bad idea since it was a pretty aggressive combo, but it was pretty swirled up. I had the dealer allocate and order me that Camry, so it was never driven or anything, it came with 3 miles and didn't seem to be washed from dealership yet, but there were still some swirls noticeable only under halogen lighting.

I waxed it as well with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax. Here's a bit more information on my detail: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...mry-se-v6.html

Next mods are HIDs, I'm trying to hunt for a Philips 4300K kit from reliable websites, any ideas? XenonDepot are sold out.
