i decided to enter a small car show later on tonight and i went out and cleaned/vacuumed my interior, polished my wheels and exhaust tips, washed/waxed my car, wiped down the engine and stuff. So here's a few pics.

Very sparkly. Looks Good, Jen!!

May I suggest though that you get the same type of hose clamp for all your intake connects, line them all up and in one direction? It'll improve the overall appearance and give those pesky judges one less thing to pick on the car for.

You're welcome. Your car is really coming along nicely, imho, and it's obvious you've put thought andhard work into it.
How long did it take you to detail it to that level? And what was the mp when you did it?
It's 104* here right now and it took me over 2 hrs just to rotate my tires, and I didn't even tire-shine them this time.
Well,to be fair about it, I never JUST rotate my tires, really.
With the wheels off the car I thoroughly clean them front and back (where all the brake dust lives, and it always takes more than one washing/scrubbing to get it all off too,) dry them, clean the lug nuts, dry them, check and adjust the pressures, add in some anti-seize for good measureand reinstall them torquing to specs.

And I wonder why I HATE to rotate my tires. [:-][:'(]

Well i did the entire interior last night vacuumed, wiped it down, did the windows etc. Took about an hour and a half. I did the outside cleaning, polishing the rims, outside windows, wiping down every inch and the engine parts in about 2 hours. So not that long. I don't like how the interior is painted ecspecially on the door panels that's the only thing i really need to change. and what do you mean by mp? I did this at like 7am in 85 degree heat.

The "mp" was a typo. I don't like this keyboard that came w/this computer and I need a better one. If I don't check my posts carefully there would be a lot more of them. It seems to skip keys that I know I hit sometimes. The semi-colon and apostrophe are too close together for me too.

"I did this at like 7am in 85 degree heat."

That sounds like what mySunday morning is going to be like.
