As smooth as a hyundai could look I guess... lol !!!
 
That is sweet looking...absolutely fantastic.

Ya know, I see those Hyundai's on the road all the time. I am absolutely amazed at how far that company has come in such a relatively short period of time. When you hear about all the sales and quality issues that GM/FORD/DC are having, it makes you wonder if they should just take a lesson from Hyundai.
 
American companies are way to inept to do anything close to what Hyundai is doing. Toyota has actually stated in public that this is their #1 competitor that they fear.

This car is LOADED, V6, Leather, Stability Control, Side Curtain Bags, 17" Wheels, 5 yr Bump to Bump, 10 yr Powertrain, etc etc etc...
Got it new for $18.5k plus TTL..
Comparable 4CYL!! Toyota, Honda, Nissan was $23k and up....
Im very happy with the car.. its VERY quick for a "family sedan"...

Yeah... your liking to EX-P and Justin's recent pics of the MW got me to that combo...
I was about to do NB, but decided to stay with DP. It truly is SUPER easy to put on and take off....
The NB might be more durable for a daily driver.. but I'll probably go all sealant for the winter.... Maybe stay EX-P or use the New DP sealant...

Yup, I was suprised myself at NB's durability, about 4 months now on 2 coats of EX-P and 2 coats of NB, and just now starting to have the look noticeably diminish. Which is extremely impressive IMO from all the rain and hot weather we've had the past couple months.

DP Max Wax appears to be a similar look (deep and wet). Looks great.
 
Great job! I love the last picture with the trees reflecting on the car. Very nice reflective shine. :applause:
 
now THAT's a reflection! :righton:

So you didn't use any polish?
 
No Polish... Dont own any.... (unless you call AIO polish) yet....

Honestly, I think I was aided in the color of the car, the fact that the sun wasnt shining directly onto it and the contrast of the trees.... because there are definitely minor swirls on the hood and other locations that I can see at the correct angle and sun glare...

The PC is next.... just have to stop pissing off my wife.... :-)

If anyone wants to see these pics in a higher resolution resolution here they are in photobucket....
