*(@#%& Forgot to take before pics!!! :( Damn, so who all has done this before.
So I got this car in horrid condition and had to go through and do a wicked cleaning job on the entire thing, swapped interior colors and everything, did a gloss black berger panel, debadged it, did the !Molding, clay bar'd it, sealed it, waxed it, put a new set of tires on her, then realize you forgot to take before pics! DAMN!
Anyway, when I got it the paint felt like 500 grit sand paper, it had 2 painted wheels and 2 chrome wheels, TONS of scratches, and the white interior was TRASHED, the dark grey carpet looked brown and every panel was covered with a layer of tobacco residue. It was a horrid mess. She looks pretty now though... Interior pics to come soon.

BTW, I cleaned it using a Clay magic clay bar kit, then used my Tropic-care sample kit and used the swirl cutter, sealant/polish, then 2 coats of meguires gold glass. Tropic-care products were amazing! Even with my cheapo orbital mini buffer.
Its been rinsed twice since then (the water beads off so well its incredible), then gone over with Eagle1 WET quick detailer with a microfiber towel.
