Ever since my TL got into an accident, with my brother asleep behind the wheel, a year ago, it's been pretty badly neglected, with scuff marks, scratches, and serious swirl marks.

(By the way, only three panels were left un-touched by the body shop. )

Anyway, I woke up yesterday and decided that I should do something about it today, so ta-da.



The process was relatively simple:
1. Dishwashing Soap
2. Clay
3. Meg. DACP
4. Meg. SFP
5. Meg. #26

Too bad NXT isn't available here yet, so I didn't get a chance to try it out.

Any opinions are welcomed.

It hasn't been washed since a month and a half ago, but then again I only drove it three times in that time period, and the car has been dusted daily.

I glaze and wax the S every other wash, so I try to wash it as little as possible.

I have a few reflection pics of the S too. Most people don't appreciate the amount of work I put into my S though.

By thy way, mind changing the title for me? to something like "A Post-detail Pic" or something because I decided not to post the other pic. Thanks.

As always, black takes the cake as the best colour when shiny. It's a shame you don't have any "before" pics as well.

Happy motoring!

I don't have before pics, that's the thing.

The car wasn't worth one byte of my harddric.

But it is worse than any of my customer's cars, how's that. It had as much swirl marks as a car can get, and a lot of scuff marks here and there because it is parked outside all the time on a narrow street.

Use your imagination.
