Detailing example

Just thought I'd share some detailing examples of my own car that shows what can be done with a good polisher and polish / wax. I picked up this MR2 a few months ago and it was neglected pretty badly. This first photo was taken when I was getting the cracked windshield replaced.

Good job, just need to fix that dent and you are set. Going to have more upkeep on it too without getting it repainted, but worth it. Maybe you can list the steps you took to get the job done.

What kind of polish and wax did you use? Looks great.

I used this guide from autopia - http://www.autopia-carcare.com/inf-p...-polisher.html

I initially used the Sonus lineup, but then i switched to Meguire's which I think I like better. Wax was meguire's tech wax.
