Default Detailed the Hawk-lots of pics
Been a while since I detailed my car so I spent five hours with a buddy helping on Tuesday and she turned out great. I used Griot's Garage products which are a little expensive but with great results.

I started with the clay bar after I washed it. Then I used Machine Polish 2 with a Porter Cable orbital buffer. I then stepped it up to Machine Polish 3 followed by their Best of Show Wax. Finally I sprayed it down with Speed Shine and wiped it down. The results are fantastic and the pics don't begin to do it justice. My camera isn't the greatest but you get the idea. I highly recommend this product to anyone. Swirl marks and scratches are all gone. And of course, it's supposed to rain now .

Of course I am! I do love this car. And all that work sure does pay off. It sucks when you're neck deep in polish and sweat, but the finished product brings tears to my eyes . I almost hate to drive it now. Thanks for all the comments guys.

No way...you HAVE to drive it now, that's the whole point...you have to show it off!
