First of all, no fair using a star-cross filter to enhance the sheen on the bumper.

Secondly, I use Mother's Back to Black and it's some amazing stuff. Y'now the lower part of the black trim on the windows? Mine was absolutely white. The "Back to Black" is cumulative and continues to darken the trim, the more you use it.

Great job! You've inspired me to do my 3-step Maguiar's detailing job on the Evil Twin --- well, someday -- maybe not this weekend, but the next -- maybe the weekend after that, I dunno, well --- Okay, the inspiration's gone, but thank you for it anyway.

on the wheels, i used some polishing compound to get the real nasty stuff off, then 3M Imperial Hand Glaze, then Meguiars Deep Crystal Step 3 wax (in the can, not the liquid).

the car paint got 3M Swirl Mark remover on hood and roof, 3M Imp. Hand Glaze and the Deep Crystal wax. i used Mother's Back-to-Black on all the plastic and rubber weatherstripping. good stuff - its not a "black coverup" like the name might imply, but it removes oxidation from rubber and plastic. i even cleaned the REAR lenses with 3M plastic cleaner and polish. see why it took three days? my back feels great!

Wha, wha, wha -- you're whining up the wrong tree. I'm still using a Petri FT-1000 SLR I bought in 1977.

well, first i have to get some touchup paint! i have a chip-kit that comes with a fiberglass bristle pen for removing the crap from the chip, headless matchsticks, sandpaper, and a little bottle of clearcoat. all of this stuff can be bought seperately, though.

procedure is clean out chip with bristle pen, dab in paint with matchstick, let dry, repeat if necessary, wetsand, apply clearcoat, let dry, wetsand, rub out sanding marks with 3M Imp. hand glaze.

Sweet!
Sometime in October I'm going to do a detail also. I'm going to try Zainos Bros. wax. Pics will follow. I must keep up with the Jones.

Great Job!!! You should be proud of how it looks now. The only problem I might have is that I would not want to drive it and get it dirty again.
