Here is what I started with.

Some scuff marks

Ohh.. that’s not good

I am not sure if you can see it but there is a slight scratch across the hood

He said he is always fighting brake dust. Poor guy

I am just the person to take care of this

Interior was not bad at all

For once it was not raining so I got started on those rims. Now… which one does not belong.

There we go…. Much better!

Washed and clayed the car. I took a pic so you could see I was only using ½ a bar this time. So.. stop making fun of me

Scrubbed the floor mats and gave the interior carpet a quick clean. It was not bad at all.

Cleaned and gave them some stripes.. sorry they are hard to see.

Started polishing and got that slight scratch and a few others

OK… the hood is looking good

Side is done and I was able to catch the Ohio State flag in the reflection shot

GO BUCKS!

Now …….I really hated these lower panels with the crease in them… so I smeared DG 501 all over the lower panels and removed most of the scuffs by hand. Then followed up with DG 501 on a white pad speed 3. I hated the way I had to hold the PC and the crease made me nervous. I was afraid I would lose control of the PC. But it worked. What should I have done?

I didn’t get all of it.. but it is an improvement

I used SCG absolutely perfect polish by hand

Any other suggestions for next time?

Now for the engine it needed a little work

Opps I startd on it a little before I took the before pics

I almost missed the inside upper part of the chrome in the grill

I did what I could for the engine. I still will not use the pressure washer. Too scary!

I know you guys love black wow but I still have some Black again

Wolfpacker saying never get it on the paint has me nervous

On to the interior

I caught that streak on the left side and fixed it already

Yep….. Jimmie I am using those sticks you sent me. Thanks again! They work great on the vents too. I wrapped a MF around it

Before

After

All done

Before

After

Ohh.. got the tail pipes too

If finally stopped raining so I rolled it out of the garage and took some pics as fast as I could. Ketil you better appreciate these shots because I had to wipe the darn pollen off even though it was only outside for a minute

I tired to capture the flakes

I found them Sparkie! There the cheap version but they will work for around the house....plus they are scarlet and gray....go bucks!

If you see anything I missed let me know. I will have the car for several more hours
