Alright, this is my sisters car, she kindly lent it to me for practice. When she bought the car i cleaned it right away, and it was in awesome shape. It was brand new but as you know they dont always come out of the dealership in great shape.

I went over do's and donts with washing, and general paint care and she has done a great job following that.



Here we are over two years, 50,000miles later and it still looks good, but i wanted more than that.



Eagle one wash

Meguires Clay(with soapy water in spray bottle)

Meguires #83(on Maroon pad with PC)

Meguires #9(on Yellow pad with PC)

Collinite 845 by hand



Like i said paint was doing alright, fine swirls, and very few rids

before wash

here are some after #83/#9

I was happy with #83 it polished up very well but i still followed it up with #9 to gloss it up

Sorry for the long post, I was verry happy with how it came out, and cant wait to do some more cars.

Tomorrow i will get some finished pics in the sun
 
Thanks

she bought it in 06 and has a pretty good commute, but she has taken care of it, the paint has not been buffed or polished since she bought it
 
Howdy neighbor (I'm in Tempe). Car looks great!! I have never used a PC but that's on my list of new years resolutions for 2009...

Nice, another local member!



Great job, I'll be doing mine in the next couple of weeks... well more like 4-5 weeks after I finish this paint touch up. I need to wait 30 days before I polish/wax - so maybe I'll do it on another car.



Looks great.
