Washed and waxed the Camry

I couldn't find my camera so these cell pics will have to do for now. I'll post better ones up tomorrow hopefully when I find my camera.

I used Meguiars ColorX wax. This stuff works great, gets rid of the swirls and minor scratches on the car and leaves a very smooth surface, my hand slipped twice while I was waxing the hood.

It's the headlights. I will be getting some new SE headlights soon. It's actually really bad, but after I washed it, I managed to clean some of the oxidation and grime build-up off.

Again, thanks for the grille Randy.

Yeah, I don't post pics of my car as much, not till I get a decent DSLR. I tried to take some better pictures of the effects of the wax. I'll take some pictures of my FX once I wash it and wax that baby up.

Nice clean Camry... why would someone ruin the lines of the Aston with that body kit? You have an Aston Martin.. not a civic...

you can wash my car anytime..

Aston is one of the sexiest things I've seen in a long time

And maybe take your headlamp lenses off and take a bit of plastic polish to it, see if it helps. I know it work wonders for yellowed headlights, so it might be worth a shot.

Glad the grille got there. I was afraid UPS might squash the box since the shape of the grille just barely fit the box. Wrapped it in bubble wrap just for added protection.

BTW, I'm the one that shipped it out for Randy.

That kid ruined the front-end of that Aston.

Why do your headlights look foggy?
