Default Took Some Pics

Of the stang today after a full detail.

Here is what I used:

Washed: Meguiars Gold Class
Clayed: Claymagic claybar
Paint Correction (Where needed): Obsesive Detail light swirl cutter
Sealant: OptiSeal
Wax: Meguiars #26

Those were my steps in that order. Overall the paint wasn't in bad shape, but it did need correcting in a few places (hood and trunklid mainly)

Just as a side note...the car is nearly 4 years old now and has over 50k miles. It is kept outside without a car cover and is daily driven in all conditions. Just goes to show what a little hard work and proper maintenance can produces. Pics below, but they dont really do the car justice.

Looks really good bud! I know how hard it is to capture the true looks of yellow paint with a camera.

Black Wow works excellent on restoring trim. A little bit goes a long way too.
