Thanks to everyone on this forum for their help, tips and reviews. With your help, I have my car's exterior in the best condition it's ever been in. It's 7 years old and does show some normal road wear on the hood and front bumper, but every place else is almost flawless, save for the slight factory orange peel in a few places. I've learned to take my time and not cut corners to do the job right, and the results paid off. While most people out there just don't understand why we do what do, those of us "in the circle" know the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from a sparkling machine in your driveway. :bow
