In progress.
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?

Fogs and headlights are getting a treatment also:
Left after some sanding, right is how they started:
Work in progress on both. These I work on at night while I am sitting in the garage with nothing to do.
I got a used polisher at a pawn shop. Nothing fancy (Snap on) and using some Meguire's Solo 1 cut and polish cream.

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

Sometimes I feel like I put so much work into my car and no one in my life gives a *shoot* how good it looks.
You'll find no shortage of appreciation for your shiny car here. Looks amazing, sir!

Thats cause to most people a car is just a mode of transportation and doesnt need anything but gas.

Did a little sprint today. I am running a 3.2 pulley with 0*KR. I think I am going to order me a 3.0 this week.
