Heroblade's car was dirty white so he asked if we could work on the paint. well now his car is gleaming white
 GTfour spoiler off and washed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash   Polishing compound and 2 cheap buffers  1 pass only on each panel  808celica2damax shows up with the fancy "real" buffer  Herosblade's turn  after the polishing compound we went from this  to this.  working out the oem spoiler gunk   You can see where I missed  spot that isnt shiney near the trim Finally done!  Waxed with Tech wax 2.0  -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

I was gonna say...I just washed and waxed and I noticed a bunch of water spots, and just an insane amount of ingrained sh!t on the license bezel and rear bumper. I have to suck it up and clay, seal, etc. since I've never done that. All in all, I'll make sure there's beer and good food here if you come over and do the same for my car 808.
With the exception of the buffers (I assume it can also be done by hand, although painstakingly?), how much did you spend on the supplies? This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Oct 4, 2009 - 2:08 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Personal stash = $200 Used = $45???...ish (Herosblade works at checker's so he gets discount) QUOTE (samir0189 @ Oct 4, 2009 - 2:25 PM) That car came out very well Jon! I often times see in peoples detailing threads on other forums, they hold up a halogen light to the car and take the picture and it reveals more of what was achieved with the waxing, and shows all the flaws in the paint.  Mahalos We were too tired to do anything after, so i didnt bother  QUOTE (OOBE @ Oct 4, 2009 - 3:23 PM) Awesome work, moloi`eheme.  Mahalos
