    Polishing Fail, I feel like giving up before it even started.

    The only picture that looks somewhat like what I've got going on is the third picture from the top. It looks like you've got those hazy lines going from the front of the hood to the back.

    Dear Santa Max, I've been extremely good this year. I even got engaged to a woman who doesn't nag me for my OCD habits of car detailing. She actually encourages it...assuming that her vehicle will also be detailed. However, after Hurricane Ike (I live in Houston), all my savings went into...
