Nice shots... as always I'm a sucker for a black Bonnie...
My fav pic is the 3rd from the end.... very cool.
Your tires look really shiney.... what did you use on them?

I think I have to say that this is my favorite shot of them all. I just love the reflection from both the sky and the grass on the side of the car.
Ofcourse, this one is very similar, but it just doesn't have the color.
I used... Let me think...Armor All Detailer'* Advantage Tire Foam on the tires. Just make sure that if you use this stuff that you do the final cleaning on the rims after you dress the tires. This stuff leaves some pretty crappy residue on the rims. I have been contemplating making myself a rim mask to keep this stuff off the rims, but just haven't put the effort into it.

I agree with you about the work, but atleast black lets you know when you are done. I had a white car once and for about a month after I waxed it for the first time I was finding areas that I must have missed getting the wax off completely. That never would have happened with a black car. You can definitely tell if you have wax left once you get it out in the sun light.

Looks great and I agree about the black being easy to see when you are finished and the job is done right. My first Bonneville was a 95 black SLE and I loved the way it looked after a fresh coat of wax.

Car looks awesome. I should have the engine and stuff in my bonneville by the end of january and have it up in Rochester in Feb. Once I get her cleaned up, we should get pictures of them together.
