Hey whats up everyone hope you all had a good weekend. I have been reading these boards for a few months now and this is the first time I am posting pictures after practicing what I have learned from here.



My steps were:



Wash (Turtle Wax Zip Wax)

Clay - Clay Magic

Wash

Polish - Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish (not the best, I know)

Sealent - NXT

NXT again about 20 hours later

Wax - S100



For the wheels I used Eagle 1's chrome and wheel spray cleaner, then Turtle Wax's Chrome Polish



Armor All Tire foam and then Armor All protectant on tires.



This is my first real detail where I looked into the "details" as I was working the paint. I am extremely happy with the results and I would like to thank Sean (GSRstilez) and Scottwax and everyone else that posts credible insight on this forum.



Also, I skipped wheel wells, some parts of the bumper, and the trim because I didnt have the right products nor the time. I learned a lot, especially that I need to get some DACP and SFP soon to clean up the paint - blemishes and swirls. So in a few months, I hope to have it really cleaned up and looking even better.



So here is the link (I couldn't figure out uploading pics, sorry)

Enjoy, and thank you all again!

Thanks everyone. JCrawford I'm always keeping that in mind and can't wait to keep practicing and inrease my skills to master "the process".
 
Andrew,



Looks sharp! White is a difficult color to capture in a photograph, but you did a great job. The wheels really set off the white paint. Is that the original paint?

DavidM, yes that is the original paint. If i repainted it I would do it black I think. As for the photography, the pics were taken on a friends 3.2 MP digital camera and I just sort of looked at the car from different angles and went at it, took like 35 pictures and picked the best few. Of course there were the usual issues of sun moving, scattered clouds, thats why I moved the car under the garage for a few shots under the lights :)
