    I last detailed this car a year ago.

    This time I was told not to worry about the swirls or scratches. I was needed to get rid of water marks and some bird droppings.

    The horizontal areas looked creamy. Not sure if you can see it from the few before pictures.

    AFTER polishing - there was so much dust & pollen today that I used a wet mf towel to wipe the residue off. What you see is water.

    nice job. but dude, you're parked in a handicap space. you're lucky its not your dad's car or a gang of people would trash it while you were at the mall.

    i really like how the guy integrated that after market exhaust into the rear bumper - that is sweet. but then again, i don't like those front lips. oh well, everyone has a style.
