I had a local detailer hook my car up this past weekend and i could not be more happy with the end results. The job took him a solid 6+ hours to do and it shows... ill just quote his thread posted on our local forum....
So I guess you've already been acquainted with Benny's new ride http://www.houston-imports.com/forum...d.php?t=582249
He said the car needed some help, and he was right.
Lucky for me it was easy to work with, offering little resistance, but still took a while to bring back to life due to the condition it was in. I'll let the pics do the talking.
BEFORE PICS
I didn't take any pictures until after it was washed because it had a lot of road grime from all the rain we have had lately.

One good shot after compounding and first polish:

Some very minor swirling was still present, you can see the remains of a few acid spots, but these are very honest results from a car that was in desperate need of attention.
