The drive to the D left the GTO slightly dirty, who am I kidding? Months of 100˚+ weather made me lazy and not want to wash the car. The drive to Detroit didn't help. Knowing I couldn't cruise with a dirty car, I called Mark and asked if by chance I could use some garage space to get the car presentable for the WDC. Thankfully he was able to accommodate me on Friday morning.
Just to give you an idea of how the car looked before you guys saw it:

A little wash:

I had to clay the car considering I hadn't clayed it in at least 4 months. This is what the clay looked like when I was done:

Mark let me try out some Auto Finesse wheel sealant on the Foregline's. It smelled minty and did a great job.

Much to my surprise the paint was not filled with swirl marks and only needed a one step polish. Thank goodness. After I was done polishing the car, it got a coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural.
Oh so pretty now:

Thanks again Mark.
 
And so does Littlemissgto.

You did a nice job on your car. Looks sweet!
Thanks. I'm still surprised at how well it cleans up. Seriously taking care of a black car is a full-time job.
Looks great and props to Marc for helping you out!!
He was the first person I thought if when I ran out of time to do this in St. Louis. Gotta love cool people like him. I ended up buying a couple of things because of him. EZ detail brush makes cleaning wheels a breeze.
Marc is the man when it comes to this stuff!

The car looks great too, I love those wheels.
Thanks. Took forever (16 weeks) to get them. Think I'm stuck with them now...LOL
 
:D Car looks great! Nice to have such a big turn around in such little time, but that's what happens when a vehicle is well maintained.
 
Nice turnaround. Can't say enough good things about Marc and the help he's provided me via phone or over the forums.
