Polished and Waxed Formula Firebird

Here's some new pictures of my car, just polished and waxed. It's a 1997 Formula Firebird.

Looks nice! What products did you use? Where are you from with green leaves on the trees & nice green grass! Leaves turning color here already.

Thanks for the comments, I used Meguiars products. I from Abbotsford B.C. in Canada, it's about 45min east of Vancouver. The pictures where taken a couple weeks ago, but it's still warm and green here, some of the tree and just starting to turn colour.

I like Meguiars too...I have the best results with them.

I also will use the 3M comm'l stuff too, Megiuars is cheaper tho!

Re: Polished and Waxed Formula Firebird

very nice!
my firebird has alot of wear on it...i have to work on it with my uncle to pop some dents and then go all out and re-paint it...maybe after this winter...
i use eagle 1 on my car...not only does it work amazingly on worn paint, but it smells good too! =)
waxing takes forever...no?

Re: Polished and Waxed Formula Firebird

I'm not selling this car but I am selling the Camaro that you see in my sig, after I sell that car I'm taking this one off the road and taking all the money from the sale and putting it into the Formula. I'm thinking about doing a 98+ Firebird front end conversion (my front needs a repaint, you can't tell in the pics, and I've always liked the 98+ more) then I'm going to lower it, do a Corvette front brakes swap, and then maybe a cam and headers if I can afford it.
