IMO your pictures are a bit washed out in terms of contrast. Maybe some close up pictures or angled pictures would better show the results of your hard work 
However, I LOVE your 3rd picture of the Celica. For a car that old, the paint appears to be in pristine condition. With the chrome wheels and wheel dressing, it truly looks beautiful. May I ask which products you used?

looks nice, but why the Hankook ventus tires on the rear of the jeep, and goodyears on the front? :nana:
j/k, both look nice, although that has to be the first jeep I have seen with 22's.

Here's the deal. I bought the Celica this past May from a local seller. Mechanically, it needed a lot of work - Which was taken care of. Detailing wise the exterior was really bad. I have been detailing this car for the past 2 months.
*THIS IS A TIMELINE OF THE CELICA'S DETAILING:*
(July) Washed my car with your standard car wash.
(July) I used a compound made by 3M. It's brownish and relatively expensive. I didn't use my PC for this application. I used my massive drill, with a bonnet that attaches to the front (I don't know the proper terminology). Did this 3x over the course of a day.
(July) Let Sit and Absorb
(July) One coat of wax cleaner done very THOROUGHLY
(July) Let sit and absorb
(July) Back to the 3M compound. Same instruments and process
(July) Regular wash
(August) Went to AutoZone for towels. Ended up leaving with Maguiar's (SP) Three Step Process
(August) Basically, I did 3x of each process over the course of 2 weeks
(August) The car is 90% done as there are a few deep scratches on the driver's side

I don't have "Before" pics. as I came across this website a little over a week ago. I'll def. get some up close pics. A.S.A.P. :nana:
The Jeep has been mine since August of 02 and has been mechanically and "detail wise" maintained thus far. Yes, the Jeep is a 2002. Could've fooled ya' and said it was a 2K6. IF you didn't know that they changed the Sahara sticker for 2K3 and stopped producing the Sahara last year.
I have used your standard car wash and Meguiar's products.
