Yes it was pretty BAD!!! But CHEER UP...here are the AFTERS:

My buddy's 4Runner has been through the war. Left outside 24/7 with no protection whatsoever, not even through the car wash. My first time working with ss paint and was pretty easy to work with, except the part where I had to wash pads after doing 2 panels because of paint transfer. There...

Nice pics! Very clear and crisp. Now for the critique...The background of the first 4 could have been better, or even blurred out. Slow down the shutter speed on the burnout pic. Looks wierd with the smoke and no wheel movement. Don't mean to be critical, but I'd want the same critique to...

Very nice job, and the car too! Are the new black Lexus cars single stage or clearcoated?

great pics! What camera is the lens on? I have that lens too and love it for its DOF and f/1.8=fast! Just upgraded my Canon 300D/Digital Rebel to a 30D myself.

My vote's for P21S TAW. Stripped everything off, and unlike Dawn, it's meant to be used on cars. Pricey, but well worth it. Wheel wells, engine cleaning, and removing all polishes/waxes/sealants.

Cute dogs! 3 small ones too. Wish I had small dogs, I got 3 boxers. Talk about highstrung! The pug looks like he's the senior member of the pack. Thanks for sharing.

I had the same question, but did notice a couple of things. If I leave them sitting, some tend to get stained. I also left some in a bucket of dawn overnight and they came out very clean! So maybe if left in dawn overnight, then wrung out, piled up, and accumulate a full wash load, it might...

Although its not a wax or polish, Zaino products can be applied by hand in the sun. You could probably use the AIO or ZPC to clean up minor defects, then seal with Z5Pro. I've used Zaino products for years before I took the plunge, bought a pc, and never looked back. Zaino products are very...

My question is if the 106ff (Nano) is a 2.5 cut and made for ceramiclear, will the IP, 3.0 cut also work on ceramiclear or is it only the 106? I already have the IP, but haven't tried it on Mercedes or Audi clear. I have both lined up in the near future and was wondering if my IP was going to...

My vote is for ONR and PB S&W. I normally use ONR for washes. My G35 is usually used on the weekends, so on Friday afternoons, I use S&W to remove the dust layer.

I've used it and found that it should only be used on a daily basis right after cleaning the car. If not, the build up will cause damage, light light scratches that could get worse. I don't use any pressure on it. Just let it glide and lift the dust. If you go more than a day without using...

Went with Opti-Seal, the clear spray Wipe on, Walk away sealant. Not Poli-seal, although I was contemplating Poli-Seal instead of Wolfgangs. Luckily, I didn't.

ahh yes, the Synergy Hybrid Drive. I have the same, but my warning label is covered by a plastic housing. A little different than the Prius.

Here's how to get around cleaning the wheel wells...move the camera :righton: I was pretty impressed with P21S Total Auto Wash. Sprayed the wells and hosed it down good. Then sprayed some NXT Instant Shine. A pretty good 'no touch' solution. Great pics and great job on the car, nonetheless.

I've used NB on a pc and actually found it pretty easy. Easy to jiggle out of the container and rub in a couple times around a black pad and easily cover a couple of panels.

Interesting, I have an RX400h and have shot it down with P21S TAW, rinsed it off, and topped with 303. My battery is also in the rear, so I assumed everything up front is the same as any combustible engine. Haven't had any problems since then, about 4 months now. What "signs" did you notice?

I guess you're right, it could've been alot worse. I don't know if I want to see any worse, though, considering this one took me 7 HOURS! There were some scratches that took 2-3 passes, but I think with experience, it'll get faster, so I can work on some REAL dirty cars! :D Thanks for the...

My experimentation $$$ says CG Pete's 53'. Made for darker colors and metallic paint. Brought my Neptune Blue Mica flakes pop! But I agree with Greg, you won't know unless you experiment. If you want an overall product that'll definitely work, without experimenting, that'll give you depth...
