The street miles had really put a beating on the paint. I'm not the kind of guy that washes and waxes the car every weekend and it showed. The annual fund raiser car show at my kids school was this past weekend, so I figured a proper detail was in order. I have a friend that works for a company that manufactures professional level detailing tools, pads, and compounds. He volunteered to come help polish the car. I have to admit, it looks pretty damn good. That single stage paint came back to life!
