Soccer Mom Car all shined up

This is a 105,000 mile soccer mom car. I think it never had been waxed.

First: Washed the car with a triple dose of soap.
Second : Clay bar
Third : Cleaner / Wax
Fourth : Glaze
Fifth : Carnuba
Sixth : Finishing Spray

We spent about 8 man hours.

I do not have before pictures. I could not get the best pictures because it started to rain.




The mom was very happy. Her father could not believe how new the car looked.

Thanks for looking.

Looks very good. I always admire people who have high mileage on their cars, it's a smart financial move. ChaChing!

I know the Mothers is not the best system. I am on a limited budget. We are a single income family. My wife stays at home. I am learning so I can buy the good stuff in the future.

Thanks for all the kind comments.
