Hey everyone,
I've been reading these forums for a while and decided to go ahead and join. My story is like most peoples, I found a nice car for a low price, sank a few grand into getting it running at 100% and wanted the body to match. At first, I had no intentions of ever handwashing this car!! I actually gave away all of my car cleaning supplies (there were many.) Anyhow, I was working on my motorcycle and something told me to rub out a small area on the roof. I was hooked. 10 hours of washing, cleaning, polishing, and waxing have paid off. Here are a few pics:
Before (notice the 3 tone paint job.) The camera makes it look nicer than it really did.
And afterwards (got a nice set of rims and some new tires to round out the project.)
The hood:
The trunk (I had to hold the bottle of wax with my other hand or it would slide off!!) Check out the houses in the reflection.
