    Well since I will be moving up to MN come June, I figure I will start posting more and maybe getting to know some of you!

    As much as I hate to say it, when I'm at school my car gets pretty neglected. Parked outside 24/7, and only sometimes washed at the local self serve car wash (which blows). So with spring break this week I decided it was time to catch up and give the scooby a nice detailing. Before hand, this car was not even a 10 footer...

    The interior was just as bad, with all the salt, sand and junk they use up in IA (excuse the blurry pic)

    Washed and clayed the car first to see what there was to work against. On to the swirls, these have been uncorrected since I bought the car in the summer of '09

    Once the car was cleaned, I moved on to correction. I used PC 7424xp + Meg's 105 with orange pad, followed by 205.

    After I was satisfied with correction, and multiple passes on a few panels. I topped it with Collinite 845, which I was very pleased with for those of you looking for some new product.

    Yea feels much better having a nice clean car. Plus it actually stays clean since everything beads right off.

    Nice job. 105 and an orange pad is unbeatable lol. I'll be doing my car soon enough too.
