Thank you.

It varies from car to car. On this particular car, the clear was a little more stubborn so I used the Meguiars M105/205 combo in areas along with Menzerna SIP with different pad combinations.

No, I'm not a 'sponser'. Nor am I a sponsor and I don't claim to be. There isn't anything wrong with me posting my threads to show what I like to do in my spare time.

But continue to go ahead and troll my threads.

Don't you have a car to go blow up again? Oh wait.

Thank you! I know not everyone cares about how their paint looks or the condition it is in but I'm glad at least some folks do. Just something about having a clean car that makes you feel like a new person. lol.

I hear you.

As long as you take care of it good once, and maintain it...it can and will look good with out a garage. My car sits outside and rarely gets driven now and it looks just as these in the pics.
