Latest Mod - Clears on an Orient Red 4S

A pic of the latest mod... the car was Zaino'd 3 washes ago - Zaino holds up so well!



...and of course, the requisite 4S **** pic... now that I've shined up the tips a little bit... thank you Brasso (and 2 hours of my life).

Very nice... I have done the same with the euro clears, and now just ordered the Silver Stealth lights from Pelican to get rid of the amber reflection from the turn signals.

The red on red looks great Malakas.

looks fantastic

I need to polish my tips on my 02 c2 coupe could you tell me what products to buy and what the process is on getting them that prestine? I was a previous vett owner and i know zaino works well and how many hours you must have spent getting your c4s looking that nice. Too bad your in Tx I would hire you in a second to detail my car.

I read about a lot of different methods - most involving some type of metal polish. I used the same sort of pad you wash dishes with, and soaked it in Brasso. Then I scrubbed and scrubbed. I was careful not to get it on the paint - boring and easy, but it ate those carbon deposits pretty well.
