What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Big difference Keith..very nice. 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 :/

All I used was kitten #1. 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.

In all seriousness, right now it's all good, by tomorrow, who knows! ... 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.

I did a bonnet once by hand when I was a noob.

not long later I had 500 bucks worth of detailing stuff and began using machines

im pretty confident, done fair few cars. but not any more, just dont have the time.

This is the only car I'll be doing, but if the paint gets as bad as it was... Realistically it could have taken half the time if I wasn't being so methodical and careful haha

Last time my car was polished, I paid someone to do it!! 2 stage cut and polish plus full detail engine bay shampoo etc. $400 later -_-
