    Okay,
    finally the neighbor's was always asking me "am I next", well, I kept saying "sure, I can use the money" and he finally took me up on it. Here's his wife's car, which was in pretty good shape as she kept it pretty clean and swirls weren't bad at all. It did however had a sap like substance that was orange in color and a little tar. Clay took some of it off, but MPPC is amazing stuff, it removed the rest of the tar and the sap like stuff. I wish Meguiars still made this product as I really like using it. Great cleaner when using an abrasive is not necessary.

    Here were my steps:
    NXT wash in my new toy (karcher foam gun)
    APC on the tires and wheel wells
    36 on the wheels
    clay with C-2000 and Last touch as lube
    MPPC on the PC with polishing pad
    2 coats of MPPP 12 hours apart
    Pro glass polish on the windows
    All Season Dressing on the tires, (I love this stuff)
    38 on the black trim

    Inside:
    NXT window cleaner
    Pro leather Cleaner and Pro conditioner on the seats
    APC on the vinyl followed by 40
    Pro Xtract power on the carpet and mats



    Wish the pics turned out better, but the sun hasn't been out here for a long time, as the car really turned out nice IMO.

          Thanks gb387,
          If the sun would shine, then the pics would turn out better, hard to capture a reflection on overcast days.
          I am doing his other car today which is a white Buick LeSabre today as it's 60 degrees here today already. The down side of that we are under a tornado watch they are calling for hail and my car is sitting outside while I am working on this.
