I got a new polisher today (the old one started smoking) and started a good spring cleaning. These are pictures after a mild polish and wash. No wax yet.
The hood, don't mind the fuzzies from the towel I dried with:
and 2 for good measures:
More to come after wax and then to find a good location for some pictures.
Looks really good! Where did your headlights and fogs go?
What polisher and polish did you use?

The combo seems to work for you, the finish looks great! Looking forward to some sun shots!

What happened to the orange peal? Buffer, wet sanding, or a great paint job, or was it Meguire's Solo 1 cut and polish cream?
Looks like a show car from here! - BC

I know it will be asked, the wax I used is the Meguiar"s NXT. This is with the wax applied and a hand polish.
Still working on details like the wiper arms, fogs and headlights. There are other little things I am taking care of also. It will probably take me a couple more days to get things done that I want to do.
