It turned out great!! Just look at that reflection :D

Thanks guys :icon_mrgreen:, I used mostly all Meguiars products, Meg's Gold Class Wash, Blue Clay Magic, Meg's NXT Wax, and Meg's Deep Crystal Polish. I have used Meg's for many years now, and Im very happy with the results I get.

Lower it:icon_mrgreen:

+1 :tu:

Also, I wouldn't put the front plate in the windshield, they will give you a ticket because the windshield wiper blocks it, I keep it under the seat and say it fell off if/when I get pulled over. It worked on a constable last year :ron:

Its never been a problem with city cops, even with no cats, 0-5% limo window tint, and no front bumper cops would let me off, Constables, Sheriffs and DPS on the other hand are a way different situation

TX seems to be hit-and-miss as far as front-plate infractions are concerned.

Yes, lower it. knanaI'm on 35+ acres. Space is nice.
