So after I got all the swirls out I washed the whole entire vehicle again. Dried using a microfiber cloth. Then I used a paste wax from Megs. Gold Class. Really makes the paint shine. The paint feels and looks like glass now. Its soo nice and worth the time and effort.

Here's a pic of the products I used:

It is alot but its honestly not that bad or hard. Its just more time consuming if anything but its worth the time and effort. I would suggest getting a DA Polisher. It will save you time and do a better job than doing it by hand. It is possible to do it by hand but you'd have to work at it and it takes time. It is possible! Do it! You won't regret it. I suggest using the products I used. If you want even better results I'd use products from Griots Garage. Best of luck.

She said she wanted to go for a cruise

Only had 46 miles to empty so she couldn't go far

Now I'm paranoid she will fill it up and put 85 octane in it

But then again there's no way shed fill up a tank that I could just fill up next time

Yeah. I'd use OTC Meg's or Mothers products. Cheaper but works just as good. You can get better results from Griots Garage but I suggest Meg's. PM me if you have any questions.

Supra was in my mind. But wasn't sure. Not bad at all. Looks like he's got ALOT of money in it.

Looked at her in the garage this morning when I grabbed some antifreeze for the beater. She looks sad in there, really wish my car cover would have made it over too.
