    Looks better than new, Tonya! Looks like you took those rims off to clean them; they're so clean...Your kitty looks worn out! did you make it do all the work? Did you miss the chrome emblems on the engine or is it just the pic? Gotta give you a little trouble, hehe. I'll bet you SMOKE any of the detailers in your area.

    Great work on your ride Tonya, silver is a hard color to take pic's and looks like your kitty is tired from helping you out. Awesome work girl. :worship2:

    Nope it is the emblems they are starting to left. Cheap darn things. Well.. OK.. I just looked again.....maybe I need to got back and dress the black around them better.. I was trying to avoid them. I didn't want the foil to lift. There was some polish left on the tail pipe however I went back and got that after I posted. Thanks for the critial eye to detail.

    Tonya..superb job, just superb!! I noticed the tailpipes in an earlier pic before the close up..every aspect of the car looks fantastic. I love this shot for several reasons: 1) really shows popping flakes, 2) shows your cool crocks 3) shows your candies (that's what my wife calls her toes after a pedicure, LOL) You should be proud of that one!

    Looking goood... :thumb:You must feel a little better to have the spring cleanse completed!

    At first glance I thought your cat was some sort of sheepskin wash mitt!!!

    That is superb work Tonya, I bet your Sonata didn't look that good when you brought it home new from the dealership! I'd say the popping flakes are also due to the Klasse SG as I've seen what it does firsthand. Who makes the Onyx by the way? It's hard to find good help these days also isn't it? Kitty cats are not the most reliable workers. :thumb:

    Those look more like Nine West knock-offs than Crocs, Tonya likes to dress nice to detail! I like that pride in appearance and vehicle appearances! :flowers:
