Last pic is awesome!I've been looking around on the net for a good clay bar to buy. Zaino brand is looking good but not cheap haha. But car definitely needs it. Feels like fine sand between back window and the rear window on the back doors :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a newb when it comes to paint, so I just used a lot of time and effort and hand-polished it with a (relatively) dirty rag to apply the polish and a clean rag to wipe the polish off. Took some effort, but very rewarding, compared to how it used to look. Let's see how long it stays this clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth the effort put in for the results obtained. Should buy a machine to help out for next time. A machine would probably cut the polishing time from 3.5 hours to probably 30min-1hr.

Realistically it could have taken half the time if I wasn't being so methodical and careful haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
