Talking 6 Hours of elbow grease, I love these threads

Spent 6 and a half hours today, the best possible way to spend a Saturday, detailing the exterior of the car FULLY!!

1) Washed with dawn
2) Meguiar's Claybar Kit
3) 3M Rubbing Compound
4) Kit Scratch Out
5) Meguiar's Professional Show Glaze
6) Meguiar's Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax x2

My arm is killing me, but I still was able to snap these pics















I can honestly say that this is the best condition my paint has EVER been in since I have had the car. Detailing the car this thoroughly drastically changes how the car looks, for the better. I am very proud of myself

6.5 hours well spent. Let's hope it doesn't rain in the next few days.

Your tail lights look great all red. Did you paint them or have them covered with film?
That may be the next thing I want to do.

haha thanks guys, it definetely WAS worth it!

OLT, tell me about it man, i made it black in the hopes it would help a little but I realize that it needs to go altogether. If only there weren't holes underneath *sigh*

Bruce, the tails are painted with Candy Apple Red paint by Testors #1605.

Afrokid, they are yellow not gold.

Sonyman, haha those front tires have been on those rims ever since i can remember, must be well over 25k miles now, The rears I just replaced, so those are brand new.
