miata , track car, was neglected for a while.
on 70% was some stubborn tree stuff and some tar , the first thing after wash was to use claybar , poorboys bug squash , windows cleaner , bug sponge. each panel took extra time until i remove the contaminants. i use around 2 pieces of claybar , one meguiar`s and another one i think was uber.
top was clean and protected with 303.
before, in the back is the new porsche spyder , and an aston...soon :D

Can't wait for the write up on the Aston and Porsche. Sexy cars both of them. Good work on those! I am in love with Aston Martins..
