Soo being a new member i thought i would show off my little pride and joy with some pics 
The first few are how it looked after I had first purchased it, and the last two are after i have given it a good polishing (my first time too).
She's a 1994 Saab 9000 CSE 2.3L Turbo. I'm not going to show you the interior just yet, as I haven't had time to properly detail it yet.
I actually did this last fall, and am thinking it needs a new polish because i brought it through a Mobil Lazer Wash a few times this winter and now the paint looks oxidized again :nomore: And i Will NEVER use it again.
I've also got a few rust spots that i need some advice to tackle, but i wont do that until the temperature around here hits at least 60 degrees.
Anyways, here she is, when i bought her, This was after a washing.
Not really any nasty swirl marks or spidering, but just dull. Not really any reflections. More of a construction paper red.
After:
This was After I spend 5 hours oh polishing. Wish i knew about this place back then. I settled on a $2.00 container of turtle wax polishing compound, and have an electric buffer my mom randomly won at an auction (low speed and pad slips easily. Cant imagine i could burn any paint with it). I really didn't know what to do when i went about starting it, but it all turned out fantastic (comparatively, my eye is a little more discerning now). Unfortunately all i had back then was a cruddy HP camera, but now I have a nice 8 MP SLR-Like Kodak that takes amazing pic's and I'll post again after her spring polishing, and after following some more tips on this site. Shes gonna look like new again before too long.

What did you have in mind, something that would stick around a bit longer? I was thinking of just repainting all of the trim getting it to be a really deep black, with some krylon plastics paint? or will that look bad.
