Hey Guys! I don't have much time before work, like 10 minutes but I have 14 pictures of my car all cleaned up. I'll upload a couple now and finish out the thread later on today or tonight.
Enjoy!

Great I'm could use some, I feel like I want to wash the car practically everyday........... I've cleaned the wheels 3 times since I got it (friday). I just got back from a little drive threw town with my friend no more then 10 miles and when I got back they had a caked layer on them again, maybe I need some type of repellant wax?

Oh yeah where did you want to go for lunch?

I sent you a PM.

Wheel wax can help or you can just use you regular wax. Polymer would most likely last longer, but you will still feel the need to clean them often:tsk:

Car looks great. A buddy of mine is getting Topaz/Sand Coupe. Not sure about the sand, like your grey better.

Are those Xmas decorations on your neighbors house? :rolleyes:

I'll post tomorrows pictures phil :D

John the neighbors love crafts and I think wreaths are year round decorations not sure? Correct me on this.

I do have a friend that is so lazy he leaves his xmas lights up all year long hehehe

Crafts aren't my cup of tea, but, it's their house.

Yep, looks incredible. The gray on topaz is awesome, much better than the black interior (IMO). The pics themselves are amazing - what kind of digital camera do you use?

I got a Sony F707 5.0 MegaPixel....but for theses pictures my grandfather took them he's a retired Navy Photographer (think hes going on 75yrs old now) :D He owns a FujiFilm FinePix S1 Pro 6.1 Megapixel camera. Its compariable to the Nikon D1 except its alot cheaper, he spent $1999 on it. Last month it was 2300 bucks so he's been waiting for it to come down in price. It takes all his Nikon Lenses he got and didn't have to spend 5300 bucks. He loves it, goes threw alot of batteries though.

The pictures I took with my camera are over in the off-topic section under Home of my new Baby. Most of those pictures are taken with my Sony. I love it the zoom is pretty good and it has the Carl Zeiss Lens. It does night vision, MPEG move (320x160) could be bigger resolution but works good enough. The Sony F707 goes for about 999 bucks but you can get it in Magazines threw distribution for like 700 bucks, I took the Circuit City route and new I had a warranty.
If you have any other questions bout the camera PM me.

I wouldn't say that, but it's definitely one of your more unique names. I've only met one other Rufus before and he tended to stand out amongst a crowd... :p
