    First new Car Ever: '05 Saab 9-2x

    Here's the car, I just realized I haven't posted it here yet, even though I've had it for about 4 months. The Saab 9-2x Aero is a Subaru WRX wagon with a revised suspension and a Saab facia. I haven't posted any detail pictures because I haven't had to do much of a detail yet, I've just been...

    Ford F150 King Ranch Edition: 1/2 detail (no 56k)

    I just ran out of time on this one, but it's a work truck, so the extra effort for perfect is a bit of a waste. I'm pleased with the results, and these big jobs really help me burn through my pre-autopia products. All told, probably 6 man-hours between my wife & I, which really isn't bad when...

    Clay or Polishing compound - poor pics attached

    Background: Wife's white (yay!) 1997 T-bird. This car has been in Hawaii for 2 years now, and I don't think it's been waxed in all that time. Hasn't been washed much either. I got the bug to rehab this car b/c the wife has been out of town for awhile, so I have to look at this dirty car...
