The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

Can't see the dust on the car, but it's not hiding the semi decent shine.

Leaving work today at about 6:40 p.m. The car was last washed 3 days ago but you can't see the dust, thankfully!
 
:iagree: If I could make it to the fifth day and not having the ride looking like a rolling peach fuzz, I'd declared "VICTORY."

Those do not look like 26 year old pictures, how in the hell did you do that?

Thanks Klasse Act. First let me say I recently purchased this 1990 Miata from the couple who bought it new and kept it garaged it's entire life. I got the original manuals that came with the car + the receipts where he had it serviced or repaired. The paint was in pretty good shape so I polished it with No 7, waxed and sealed. I detailed the interior but still have a few spots on the seat to remove.

One area he did not maintain was under the hood. I spent 8 hours detailing under the hood and in the engine bay. I used brushes, towels and Simple Green Aluminum for Precision Parts cleaner because it is safe on aluminum parts and paint. Here is a before picture.
